Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

governed by Regulations To 881/92 and (EC) 318/93 and Directive 2006/94/EC, the origins of which date back to 1962. While the internal market has been fully liberalised, a number of restrictions remain for Cabotage.

The European Commission proposes to merge these regulations and the Directive, adding features to improve existing practice. It proposes:

• To specify the conditions under which cabotage is permitted. Cabotage, defined as national carriage for hire or reward carried out on a temporary basis in a host member state, shOuld be limited to a maximum of three consecutive operations within a maximum period of 4even days.

• .mplif led and standardised formats forte Community licence with copies of this licence and the driver's certificate to make checks easier.

*Increased penalties for infringements committed in member states other than the operator's country of origin. Member states should keep a national register of infringements and report serious infringements by a foreign operator committed in their territory to his country of origin. The country of origin could then impose a penalty. Several small Infringements could count as one major infringement. In the UK this could mean a Traffic Commissioner calling an offending haulier to a public inquiry and taking action against his 0-licence.
