07/10/2024 (Agence Europe) – The European Road Hauliers Association (UETR) thanks the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for broadly confirming the validity of the ‘Mobility’ package, but stresses “the importance of applying the package in its entirety”, in a press release issued on Monday 7 October. On Friday 4 October, the CJEU broadly rejected the appeal lodged by seven Member States seeking the annulment of the package on the posting of lorry drivers (see EUROPE 13497/20). The UETR believes that “the focus should be on how best to implement the Package as a whole, improving sustainable transport practices within the current framework, to which transport companies already made efforts to adapt since the Package entered into force”. “There is an urgent need to clarify how the judgement affects obligations to hauliers”, according to the UETR.
