Legal aspects of cabotage operations in road freight transport in the EU internal market

The liberalisation of conditions in road freight transport, transport services, and fair competition is not progressing as quickly and uniformly throughout Europe as this complex mechanism would need. It is about making the Union's economy more competitive, which has the ambition to be a global leader in sectors such as green energy, carbon-free, environmental policy, social peace, and others. These policies and efforts are resource intensive. These people live, and resources are created not only in the European Union's single internal market but throughout the European Economic Area. The breeding ground for some Eurosceptics is excessive bureaucracy within the structures and individual policies of the EU, diversity of national interests and socio-cultural differences. Cabotage transport faces just such bureaucracy, social disparities in respective EU countries and national interests. The truck traffic lobby is strong. This is due to Europe-wide economic dependence on transporting materials, goods, and services by road freight. More than three-quarters of all traffic is by road, and there is no expert opinion that this can be changed by the middle of the 21st century. Let us work hard to change towards greener transport systems if we want to keep the planet for our children, at least as we know it today. From this point of view, cabotage is a small cog in the gears of the European economy, but this is an even more complex problem for cooperation between the individual states of Europe. This work shows that there is a solution to the problem. Let us show that we care about Europe's future, integrity, and unity.
