The disclosure of information on greenhouse gas emissions prior to the provision of a transport service is crucial to encourage an informed decision-making process by public bodies, enterprises and consumers, and influences public procurement by public authorities and the business decisions of transport and hub entities providing and organising those transport services on the market. Therefore, information on greenhouse gas emissions related to a specific transport service should be disclosed, whenever possible, prior to the provision of the transport service. However, it should be possible to disclose information on greenhouse gas emissions after the provision of the transport service, particularly where communications between enterprises need to have a more detailed level of information, in particular in the context of logistics chains and subcontracting contract relationships, or for the purpose of using primary data.
