Transport: EU Law
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009, what (a) discussions his Department has had with the EU and (b) his policy is on the occupational status of UK transport managers residing in the UK and working for a road transport operator based in the EU 27 after the UK leaves the EU.
- Answer
-
Article 4 of Regulation (EC) 1071/2009 requires a transport manager employed by an EU transport operator to be resident in the Community. The eligibility of UK-resident transport managers to work for an operator in an EU member state when the UK is no longer a member of the EU will be a matter for negotiation.
On 7 June, following discussions with the EU, the UK published ‘Framework for the UK-EU Partnership - Transport’, setting out UK proposals for the future UK-EU relationship. The recently published White Paper on the Future Relationship Between the UK and the EU made clear that the UK wants to explore options for a reciprocal access deal for road hauliers and passenger transport operators. There is a strong mutual interest in reaching an ambitious agreement, which maximises benefits for all our citizens and businesses.
