Resolution on the new EU rules on access to the profession and access to the road haulage market, (2009)

Several European Union Member States have recently changed their road haulage cabotage rules or are planning to do so, thus creating legal uncertainties for the EU road freight transport industry.  The IRU therefore urgently calls on the EU Commission and the European Parliament to come to an agreement on the proposal for regulations on access to the profession of road transport operator and access to the road haulage market which would allow final adoption before the European Elections in 2009.
