Passenger transport by rail, road, inland waterway: competition, public service exigences and contracts (repeal. Regulations (EEC) No 1191/69 and (EEC) No 1107/70)

The European Parliament adopted the report by Mr Erik MEIJER (EUL/NGL, NL) by 317 votes in favour, 224 against and 7 abstentions. (Please refer to the previous text). In addition, the Parliament adopted various other amendments on the question of social dumping. Transport operators who flout their responsibilities should not be selected for public contracts. Furthermore, where the conclusion of a public contract might lead to a change of operator, the selected operator should be obliged to offer employees appointed before the contract was awarded the same rights to which they were entitled before that operator took over the business. �
