Case study: the experience and enlightenment of the development of European logistics industry

Logistics industry is a rapidly developing new service field in Europe, which has an important impact on the economic development of European countries.

The development of logistics industry needs the government's participation and necessary policy support.

(A) to coordinate government management functions and provide a good institutional environment for the development of the logistics industry. First, the EU is promoting Europe.

In the process of the formation of the European single market, the formulation of unified trade policy, transportation policy, tariff policy and monetary policy has effectively promoted the free flow of goods throughout Europe. Second, European governments actively create a good institutional environment for the development of their own logistics industry.

(2) Breaking monopoly, reducing government intervention and creating a fully competitive market environment. In recent years, European governments have implemented some policies and measures to break monopoly and deregulate, which have had a positive impact on promoting the development of logistics industry in various countries.

(3) Strengthen infrastructure investment to provide an operating platform for the healthy development of the logistics industry. The policies in this regard include: First, the coordinated development policy of infrastructure centered on maximizing the efficiency of various modes of transportation. Secondly, policies to promote the development of new logistics infrastructure such as large freight hubs, logistics bases, logistics centers and public distribution centers.

(4) Promoting the standardization of the logistics industry.

First, the basic and general standards of logistics infrastructure and equipment; Second, the mandatory standards of safety and environment; The third is to support industry associations to formulate relevant industry standards for various logistics operations and services.

(5) Support the innovation and popularization of logistics knowledge and technology, and accelerate the modernization process of logistics industry.

(6) Formulating necessary guiding policies to guide and encourage the development of the logistics industry.

Logistics industry association plays an important role in the development of logistics industry.

(1) guide and promote. For example, the questionnaire survey of logistics enterprises organized by the European Logistics Association tracks and analyzes the development of the whole European logistics industry, and combines the development trend of the world logistics industry to guide and promote the development of the whole industry. (2) the role of consulting services. For example, the Netherlands International Logistics Distribution Association provides consultation and information on the location, planning and operation of distribution centers to help member enterprises reduce costs, improve efficiency and promote the development of member enterprises. (3) The role of education and training. At present, the logistics curriculum and syllabus of the European Logistics Association basically adopt the logistics education and training standards developed by the European Logistics Association, and form the corresponding logistics qualification system. (4) the role of industry norms. For example, the European Logistics Association cooperates with european committee for standardization and various standardization research institutions to participate in the formulation of various logistics industry standards; And cooperate to write a logistics dictionary and standardize logistics terms. (5) the role of contact and communication. First, use seminars to organize special research activities to promote exchanges and cooperation within the logistics industry; Second, establish dialogue mechanisms and communication channels with EU organizations and governments of various countries, reflect the voices and interests of the industry, and actively seek government support for the development of the logistics industry.

Reference and Enlightenment of International Experience to China Logistics Industry

(A) the establishment of a coordinated and unified management system to create a good policy environment for the development of the logistics industry. In view of the compartmentalization of China's logistics management system, which restricts the development of the logistics industry to a certain extent, it is necessary to set up a coordination organization with the participation of government functional departments and industry management departments in the near future to study, formulate and coordinate relevant policies for the development of the logistics industry. On this basis, combined with the current policy guidance of the government, we will study and formulate supporting measures conducive to the development of the logistics industry from the aspects of financing policy for logistics infrastructure construction and logistics equipment renewal, land use policy for logistics bases, logistics service and transportation price policy, and industrial and commercial registration management policy.

(2) Change the pattern of scattered infrastructure planning and investment, and pay attention to the planning and construction of new logistics infrastructure. According to different modes of transportation and industry management departments, we should change the current planning and investment mode, properly concentrate the functions of the government in infrastructure planning and investment, make overall planning and layout of various infrastructures, and promote the supporting and coordinated development between infrastructures. At the same time, the central government should strengthen the planning of new logistics infrastructure such as logistics bases and logistics centers, and pay attention to coordinating the logistics development planning between regions and cities.

(3) Breaking the boundaries between industries and regions and promoting the formation of a unified national logistics market. On the one hand, it is necessary to formulate a unified national trade and transportation management policy, further relax government intervention and control, and promote the formation of a unified national market and the free flow of goods throughout the country. On the other hand, on the basis of standardizing market access, logistics enterprises are encouraged to enter different transportation service fields to create a fair market competition environment for the development of logistics industry.

(D) Take active measures to promote the process of logistics standardization. Coordinate industry authorities and industry associations to speed up the formulation of logistics terminology, measurement standards, technical standards, data transmission standards, logistics operation and service standards. At the same time, clean up and standardize the existing national standards and industry standards related to logistics activities.

(5) Pay attention to the research and application of logistics technology and speed up the training of logistics talents. The government should actively support and encourage the research and application of logistics technology. On the one hand, we should support and fund the research and innovation activities of universities and scientific research institutions in logistics to improve the overall level of logistics theory and technology in China. On the other hand, enterprises should be encouraged to establish logistics research institutions and cooperate with universities and research institutions to strengthen the development and application of applied logistics technology. In the training of logistics talents, we should promote the formation of a multi-level and diversified logistics education system.

(6) Attach importance to the development of logistics industry associations and give full play to the positive role of logistics industry associations. It is necessary to cultivate China's logistics industry associations as soon as possible. First, it is necessary to promote the cooperation between the logistics professional committees of trade associations such as commerce, materials, transportation and foreign trade, and form a national logistics industry organization as soon as possible; Secondly, referring to the practice of the European Union, we should give the association some responsibilities and powers, and give full play to its role in formulating and promoting logistics industry standards, logistics education norms, and logistics practitioners' qualification certification.
