Goals / Remit
Finnish Transport and Logistics SKAL represents companies who offer road haulage services, as well as enterprises providing logistical services. SKAL has 40 employees and some 4200 members.
SKAL plays an important role as an interest group and channel of communication for the road transport and logistics sector both in national and international questions. SKAL maintains a collaborative network of parties involved in legislative work affecting the operating conditions of the road transport sector. SKAL seeks to establish a regular and interactive exchange of information concerning policymaking in transport sector from initial proposals to final implementation.Main EU files targeted
SKAL follows mainly European Union transport and traffic policy and other policies covering especially road transport market. Due to fact, that vast majority of the Finnish road transport operators are SME´s, SKAL follows closely EU initiatives concerning small and medium size entrprises. Therefore SKAL is interested in revision of Small Business Act as well as other new legislation regarding SME´s.
SKAL is actively following the further steps regarding the FitFor55 pckage. In the scope of the package the regulations on heavy vehicles CO2 standards, AFIR, RED and Energy tax directive will be revised and amended.
In addition to the legislation mentioned above, SKAL is interested in the revision of the other legislative initiatives on the Mobility Package, such as Eurovinjette and Co2 standards on Heavy Duty Vehicles.Address
