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

Meetings
Meetings
9 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
