Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1

Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Stresses that, in the context of the collaborative economy, issues related to consumer protection, liability allocation, insurance schemes, social protection of workers (whether they are employed or self-employed) and data protection are the most urgent ones, and expects a regulatory intervention in that regard; emphasises that a regulatory framework should create a level playing field, foster innovations and contribute to the overall development and fulfilment of the EU transport policy goals, such as transport decarbonisation, reduction of pollutant emissions and noise, territorial cohesion, affordability, accessibility and safety;
Amendment 73 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Recalls the potential of collaborative economy models to improve the efficiency of the transport system, encourage changes in attitude away from owning and towards sharing and reduce undesired externalities of traffic such as congestion, the volume of space taken up and emissions; emphasises the need to fully integrate collaborative transport services into the conventional transport system and to develop them as a complement to non-motorised traffic and the public transport system; proposes that the space being made available through the new solutions should be used for measures to improve the quality of life (parks, green areas and water bodies, rest areas, pavements and pedestrianised areas, cycle paths, etc.); emphasises the need to avoid administrative systems or legislative measures which might lead to exclusion of collaborative transport services from transport planning and operations, with a view to enabling the creation of smooth complete travel chains and the provision of new forms of sustainable mobility; emphasises that the combination of collaborative and public transport services offers great scope for this, in particular in connecting up areas that hitherto have been poorly connected;

Calls on the Member States to establish measures to reduce the risk and possibility of the occurrence of grey economy activities and tax avoidance in accordance with collaborative economy services, and invites the Commission to facilitate an exchange of best practises between tax authorities and stakeholders with a view to developing appropriate solutions and technological solutions (inspired, for example, by experience with the digital tachograph) for payments of taxes in the sharing economy;
