Few initiatives of the European Commission have caused as much debate lately as the recently introduced EU mobility package. The European Commission’s package published on the 31st of May 2017 focused on several areas that have troubled European hauliers, including the Czech ones, in recent months. These include, in particular, the issue of posting of workers in the road transport. The social aspects of the road transport and the new rules proposed by the mobility package were discussed by representatives of European institutions, business organizations, hauliers’ associations and the general public at a debate organized in the European House in Prague on the 16th of June.
