Regulatory framework (economic order framework)

Freight forwarders and transport companies operate within a regulatory framework—the fundamental rules that the state establishes.

Quick Answer

Freight forwarders and transport companies operate within a regulatory framework—the fundamental rules that the state establishes.

These include competition rules (who may operate), property rights (who owns an asset), safety standards (what transport conditions must meet), and liability mechanisms (who bears losses).

This framework is not neutral: it determines whether small freight operators can compete fairly with multinational corporations or whether sustainable transport modes receive preferential treatment.
