On September 1, 2025, a powerful coalition spearheaded by ICC Netherlands—including prominent banks, businesses, the Port of Rotterdam, and several key trade associations—formally presented a whitepaper to the Dutch Parliament. Their urgent plea was for the swift adoption of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR).

This initiative arrives at a truly critical juncture for the Netherlands. With Dutch trade valued at approximately €1.6 trillion annually, the transition to digital trade documentation, facilitated by MLETR, is seen as essential for modernizing operations, boosting efficiency, and maintaining the nation’s competitive edge in the global marketplace. This concerted effort underscores the widespread recognition of MLETR’s potential to revolutionize international commerce.
