Head of EP cancels vote on road carriers

There will be no voting in the European Parliament on proposals for new regulations on road transport operators, which was scheduled for Wednesday. The decision to remove this point from the agenda was made by the head of the EP, Antonio Tajani.

The proposals are now supposed to return to the EP transport committee where numerous amendments are to be considered.

The proposals for new regulations applying to road transport companies, which include provisions on the posting of workers, arouse a lot of controversy in the EU. Some countries, including Poland, are against changes in the existing regulations and point to their protectionist nature.
