Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) The appearance and increase of the phenomenon of ‘false’ self-employed drivers should be noted. This constitutes a major obstacle to efforts to ensure a level playing field in the employment market and also exacerbates the phenomenon of undeclared employment, since the employers involved do not pay the relevant employers’ contributions. Appropriate measures must be taken to combat this phenomenon at national and European level, by strengthening controls and imposing penalties on the employers involved in such cases.
