Press Release: Road transport: Commission refers Denmark and Finland to the Court of Justice of the EU for failing to comply with cabotage rules

The European Commission decided on 16 June 2016 to refer Denmark and Finland to the Court of Justice of the EU for failing to properly apply the "cabotage" rules, as laid down in the Regulation (EC) 1072/2009 on access to the international road haulage market.

The Regulation allows hauliers with a Community licence to perform up to three national carriage operations in a Member State other than their own, following the unloading of an international transport, a practice known as "cabotage". There are no further restrictions under EU law.
