Key points

The EESC:

  • considers it crucial to build a level playing field for all operators in the occasional transport sector, enabling fair competition.
  • highlights that the attempts to circumvent existing rules on drivers' working conditions must be firmly tackled by all the competent national and European authorities to make the sector, characterised by significant staff shortages, more attractive to work in.
  • proposes that much more attention be paid to the issue of effective implementation and enforcement of existing rules. There are opportunities for this to happen, not least through the use of digital tools to conduct inspections, which could be supported by EU funds.
