On 20 November 2009, Leif Zetterberg, State Secretary for the Swedish Ministry for Communications, recognised the importance of the logistics industry to the European economy and added his support to the creation of a high-level EU stakeholders' group.
Leif Zetterberg, speaking at the Second High Level Stakeholder conference on the Future of Transport, said "I have also noticed the proposal from the Alliance for European Logistics to create a high-level EU stakeholders´ group for logistics with a broad-based industry representation. The aim would be to enable a closer coordination between the industry and the European Commission on key strategic decisions. Based on the importance of logistics for the European economy and the good experiences we have from our own Swedish Logistics Forum I am prepared to support this proposal."
