Kazakhstan’s Kurultai also ratified the Additional Protocol to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR), concerning the electronic consignment note. The document was adopted in Geneva on February 20, 2008.
The protocol provides for consignment notes to be issued electronically using electronic data registration and processing methods. This will allow international transport to move to digital document management.
Kazakhstan’s accession to the protocol is intended to harmonize working conditions for domestic and foreign carriers.
