The Synergy of the Sustainable Transport Investment Plan and European Trade Indexes Registries Infrastructure

The document presents a comprehensive proposal for the European Union Trade Index Registry (EUTIR), a digital infrastructure designed to enhance the authenticity, traceability, and legal validity of electronic trade, transport, customs, and compliance documents across the EU. Developed by the DigitalTrade4.EU consortium, it outlines a metadata-based registry system that anchors cryptographic hashes, timestamps, and standardized identifiers (such as LEI, vLEI, and EORI) without storing full document content.
