Rule 117
Rareş-Lucian Niculescu (PPE)

At the hearing of 17 January 2013 on the revision of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 on access to occupation and Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009 on access to the road haulage market, the Commission presented a list of possible measures. Can the Commission specify when it will publish the conclusions of this hearing and when it intends to submit legislative proposals in this area to the Parliament and the Council?

Similarly, we are drawing your attention to the following requests of hauliers from Romania:

• 1.Transparency of national regulations in road haulage sectors in all Member States, through the publishing on the Commission’s website of national regulations applying the acquis on road haulage in each Member State, particularly the national laws applying Regulations (EC) Nos 561/2006, 1071/2009, 1072/2009 and 1073/2009;
• 2.Translation into all official languages of the legislation specific to national road haulage in each Member State which applies to non-resident hauliers when they carry out cabotage operations;
• 3.Publication of the list of penalties applied by the authorities of each Member State for breaches of EU road haulage regulations.

Can the Commission state what measures it has in mind to address these requests (points 1-3)?
