Strengthening EU Competitiveness through the European Trade Indexes Registry (EUTIR)

This document presents a proposal for a European Trade Indexes Registry (EUTIR), a foundational digital infrastructure designed to strengthen EU competitiveness. Acting as a trust anchor for trade data, EUTIR ensures authenticity, traceability, and machine-readability across the Single Market. It aims to reduce administrative burdens, enhance supply chain resilience, support ESG compliance (integrating with systems like the Digital Product Passport and CBAM), and foster innovation. The proposal outlines EUTIR’s operational framework, its alignment with key EU priorities, and includes concrete draft amendments to relevant legislation to facilitate its adoption.
