eFTI4GR is a national implementation programme rather than a single technical experiment. Greece sits at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa and its logistics system is port-centred, so the pilot’s design question is how eFTI works when maritime nodes and road hinterland traffic have to be joined up, and how national infrastructure and existing digital platforms plug into the European framework.
The work runs on three tracks. Technically, the national eFTI Gate is being developed under the Ministry of Development and local platform providers are being onboarded — an eCMR portal (OB Streem), the PCT eServices platform and a TMS (Online Data) — covering consignment notes, bills of lading, transport orders and dangerous goods declarations. Institutionally, a national roadmap for phased eFTI implementation aligns Greek practice with the Regulation across five ministries and the tax authority. For the ecosystem, an eFTI Gate user manual and training courses bring operators on board.
A distinctive element is data aggregation: interfaces between the eFTI Gate and platforms and the Greek Transport & Logistics Observatory, operated by CERTH, so that aggregated transport data can be analysed at macroeconomic level — a use of eFTI data that goes beyond enforcement.
