Press Release: Commission refers Greece to the Court over free establishment of road hauliers and fuel traders

The European Commission decided on 8 October 2009 to bring Greece to the European Court of Justice for its failure to comply with European rules on freedom of establishment for operators in the road transport and fuel marketing sectors. The Commission considered that Greece had failed to respect its obligation under the Treaty by restricting the registration of public use vehicles and private tankers, and by introducing minimum tariffs for transportation services.
