Three-country traffic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three-country traffic means the European cross-border transit traffic of vehicles registered in third countries. Third country is only a country that is neither the country of loading or entry, nor the country of unloading or exit.

In 2016, by far the largest share of goods traffic through the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany was accounted for by road traffic, followed by air traffic, railways and inland waterways.

A permit is required for commercial road freight transport where the loading and unloading location is in two different member states of the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (CEMT).

Prerequisites for access to the market for cross-border road haulage in three-country traffic are a valid CEMT permit , as well as the keeping of the travel report booklet handed over to the Federal Office for Goods Transport (BAG) with the CEMT permit (not to be confused with the vehicle-related logbook ). The details are in a basis of the Road Haulage Act adopted ordinance of the Federal Department of Transportation regulated.
