The European Logistics Platform (ELP) brings together public policy-makers and industry representatives to ‘collectively tackle the challenges of the logistics sector such as overstrained infrastructure, climate change, deployment of new technologies, risk management, trade barriers, customs processes and development of e-Commerce.’  On the 25 September 2019 it organised a short conference in Brussels on major logistics trends, partly for the benefit of new Members of the European Parliament. I gave the keynote address which focused primarily on two megatrends: decarbonisation and worsening skill shortages.  This was followed by a panel discussion with contributions from senior executives, European Commission officials and MEPs.
