Austrian Presidency proposal concerning the Mobility Package 1 restricts the international road transport and the fundamental freedoms of movement in the EU. This dangerous approach would deepen the gaps between EU Member States: instead of supporting the new comers’ developing economies and the social harmonization across the EU, Austria proposes unacceptable changes of EU Common Transport Policy leading to EU economic and social segregation.

Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc’s reply to the 14 road transport associations joint resolution for EC President Juncker on German Minimum Wage Act and Loi Macron
Dear Sirs,
On behalf of Mr Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, I thank you for your letter sharing your position with regard to the French legislation on minimum wage (Loi Macron) and expressing your concerns regarding the infringement case with Germany on the application of the German Minimum Wage Act (MiLoG).
Regarding the French law on the application of the minimum wage to road transport, which entered into force on 1 July 2016, I wish to inform you that, already in July last year, my services have requested clarifications from the French authorities regarding the scope of application and the enforcement requirements of their national provisions.
Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc’s reply to Members of the European Parliament on the next stage of infringement against German Minimum Wage Act by sending to Germany a supplementary Letter of Formal Notice on 16 June 2016
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your joint letter of 10 May 2016 in which you enquire about the state of play and follow-up actions in the infringement case with Germany on the application of the German Minimum Wage Act (MiLoG).
I wish to assure you that since the launch of the infringement case, my services have been active in pursuing the matter. As you may know, despite the efforts made by both sides, the negotiations between the Commission services and the German authorities have not lead to finding an amicable solution. They, however, have brought certain new elements into the matter, which have been thoroughly assessed by all involved Commission services. Based on this assessment, the Commission decided on 16 June to proceed to the next stage of infringement by sending to Germany a supplementary Letter of Formal Notice.
