Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) So far, and unless otherwise provided for in national law, the rules on access to the occupation of road transport operator do not apply to undertakings engaged in the occupation of road haulage operator solely by means of motor vehicles with a permissible laden mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes or combinations of vehicles not exceeding that limit. The number of such undertakings which are active in both national and international transport operations has been increasing. As a result, several Member States have decided to apply the rules on access to the occupation of road transport operator, provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009,to those undertakings. To ensure a minimum level of professionalisation of the sector using vehicles with a permissible laden mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes by way of common rules, and thus to approximate competitive conditions between all operators, this provision should be deleted, whereas the requirements regarding effective and stable establishment and appropriate financial standing should be rendered mandatory.deleted

Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) The existence of letterbox companies and false self-employment within the transport sector is hampering the smooth functioning of the internal market and thus leading to a deterioration in working conditions for its workers. It is essential to combat these illegal practices which, even though they represent a minority, degrade the sector's image, since they reduce labour costs illegally and fail to ensure that working standards are maintained. It is nevertheless acknowledged that differences in wages resulting from economic and social divergences between Member States in no way represent an infringement of the law, unfair competition, market distortion or social dumping.

Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) Undertakings engaged in the occupation of road haulage operator solely by means of motor vehicles with a permissible laden mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes or with combinations of vehicles not exceeding that limit should have a minimum level of financial standing, to ensure that they have the means to carry out operations on a stable and long- lasting basis. However, since the operations concerned are generally of a limited size, the corresponding requirements should be less demanding than those applicable to operators using vehicles or combinations of vehicles above that limit.deleted

Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) Insofar as this Regulation introduces a degree of harmonisation in certain areas so far not harmonised by Union law, in particular in respect of transport with light commercial vehicles and enforcement practices, its objectives, namely to approximate conditions of competition and improve enforcement, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the nature of the objectives pursued in combination with the cross-border nature of road transport, be better achieved at Union level. Therefore, the Union may adopt measures, in line with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives pursued.
