ZMPD letter to Mr. Jean – Claude Junker, President of the European Commission regarding new French law on the minimum wage in transport – MACRON

Dear Sir,

I would like to draw your attention to the seriousness of new law implemented and applicable as of 1st July 2016 in France on the minimum wage in transport.

According to this new legislation, any foreign driver who transports goods to/from France and performs cabotage operations there has a duty to operate as a posted worker. This means that as of 1st July 2016 the minimum wage of 9,61 EUR is to be paid or, if applicable, remunerations coming from collective agreements in the transport sector. The new French decree foresees also that the operator has to prepare for every hired driver the certificate of posting and designate a representative in France. What is more, there is a requirement that all documentation concerning performed transports in France has to be prepared by the operator in French and kept by his representative and drivers for possible controls.

ZMPD letter to Mr. Jean – Claude Junker, President of European Commission regarding MiLoG Law in Germany

The Association of International Road Transport Carriers in Poland (ZMPD) for several months now relates with great concern to activities of some Member States which an effect is to deny, for the sake of their own interests, basics pillars of the European Union – the free movement of goods and services.

In the opinion of many transport operators from different countries the introduction by Germany on 1st of January 2015 the minimum wage in transport which is applicable also to foreign companies performing transports to/from/within German territory is an evident violation of fundamental rules of the common European market, not mentioning the attempt of the German administration to influence the employer-employee relationship in other countries what we consider to be inappropriate, not to say – unacceptable.

The translated text of the letter addressed to Angela Merkel which ZMDP Poland submitted at the German Embassy during the protest on 4th of March

The Polish road carriers call for the verification of regulations concerning the minimal wage with respect to drivers performing cross-border, transit or cabotage carriage in Germany.

The inclusion of the drivers employed in companies in Poland into the MiLoG provisions violates our sense of sovereignty. When our country joined the European Union, we were happy for the perspectives of the free movement of goods and services. We greeted the German investments in our country with understanding, and we, ourselves, had taken difficulty and risk of competing for strong position in the common market. MiLoG is a blow to the fundamental European values. It breaks the long-term cooperative relations with the German partners, it increases the costs of trade, especially between Germany and the east of Europe, it imposes on us the obligation to keep records of our companies in a foreign language and the obligation to be subject to the control of authorities of a foreign state. The European Union had been created as a community of economic interests, in which every state sacrificed some part of its own benefits for the construction of the common good. MiLoG is a step in the opposite direction, is an attempt of imposing own particular interests to others. The Polish road carriers are deeply disappointed by the introduction of those protectionist provisions. We imagine the freedom of conducting business in Europe differently.
