The annual European Logistics Summit is by now a well-established tradition, bringing together policy-makers, politicians and industry to discuss the state of logistics as a sector in Europe.

This year's Summit centered around the theme of shifts in global trade patterns and how these are redefining the future of logistics. The question at the heart of this debate is: Does the EU White Paper on Transport contain the tools and means for the European logistics industry to maintain its competitive edge in global trade?

At the event, the AEL presented its '13 Cases - 13 Policy Priorities' paper that contains case studies from each of the AEL Members and illustrates the importance of a solid European framework to support the competitiveness of the logistics sector in the EU. It also launched an animated video that follows a very special package through the global supply chain to unveil the future of European logistics.
