EU Transportation Market Regulation

The transportation market is evolving into a single European transportation market, based on fundamental EU principles for the Common Market. This means that the default market regulation is commercial offer based on the “open access” principles, complemented with Public Service Obligations (PSO) for government-supported offer where the market is unable to provide the desired Services of General Economic Interest (SGEI).

Kamminga Mobility & Legal is one of the leading experts in Europe on regulating transportation markets, most notably via the PSO Regulation (1370/2007) as amended by the EU Fourth Railway Package and the right for open access in the SERA Directive (2012/34), but also for international coach services under EU Regulation 1073/2009. We are experienced with assessing the compliance of national legislation with the EU legal framework and potential market opportunities.
