Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) To ensure a coherent framework for the inter-urban carriage of passengers by regular coach and bus services throughout the Union, Regulation (EC) No 1073/2009 should apply to all inter-urban carriage by regular services. The scope of that Regulation should therefore be extended, but, by virtue of the principle of subsidiarity, not applied to urban and suburban areas and agglomerations.

Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) RThe operation of regular services in the form of cabotage operations ishould be conditional on the possession of a Community licence and the use of a smart tachograph in accordance with Chapter II of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council. In order to facilitate effective controls of those services by enforcement authorities, the rules regarding the issuing of Community licences should be clarified and the IMI module developed for the sending of posting declarations and electronic applications, enabling the inspectors carrying out the roadside checks to have direct real-time access to data and information contained in ERRU and IMI and so as to ensure that social contributions are actually paid for posted bus drivers.
