Amendment 329 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20 a (new)
Paragraph 20 a (new)
20a. 21. (new) reiterates that taxi services, because they are public and universal and charge administered fares, must be regarded as excluded from the scope of competition and, to this end, calls on the Commission to ensure that the Member States do not surreptitiously introduce this concept; points out, further, that private digital platforms for non- scheduled public transport can provide interconnectivity between supply and demand, but cannot act as intermediaries, as this would expose taxi services to market dynamics unconnected to their work; hopes that the Member States and local authorities, in agreement with the categories concerned, will devise solutions to ensure that taxi services that are available and efficient even at times of peak demand, without liberalising abnormal actions that would eat into operators’ revenues during long daily periods of ordinary or low demand; calls, lastly, on the Member States and local authorities to take strong action to tackle illegal practices.
