eFTI common data set — Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/2024

Frequently asked questions

What does Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/2024 actually define?

It defines the common eFTI data set and its data subsets, meaning the precise data elements that economic operators are allowed to share electronically with authorities under the eFTI Regulation. It works as a technical dictionary specifying exactly which pieces of transport information can be exchanged and how they are structured.

Who needs to implement this data set?

eFTI platforms and competent authorities are the ones who implement the common data set and subsets. Platforms use it to structure the information they store and transmit, while authorities rely on it to know what data elements they can request or receive electronically from economic operators.

How does this Regulation relate to the main eFTI Regulation?

This delegated act supports the eFTI Regulation by giving it technical substance. While the eFTI Regulation sets the legal framework for electronic freight transport information exchange, this Regulation supplies the actual data dictionary, the exact data elements and subsets that make that exchange technically consistent across platforms and authorities.

What is meant by 'data subsets' in this context?

Data subsets are smaller, defined groupings within the overall common eFTI data set. Instead of always using the full data set, operators and authorities can work with a relevant subset tailored to a specific document type or control scenario, while still following the same standardized technical definitions.
