including definitions ofthevarious categories ofpassenger service and
the rules applying tothem within theCommunity .
Article 4(2)oftheRegulation states that "theCommunity' shall enter
into anynegotiations with third countries which may befound necessary
forthepurpose ofimplementing this Regulation ".
Article 4(3 )goes ontostipulate that once the common rules provided
for inArticles 7(concerning regular services )and 8(concerning shuttle
services )oftheRegulation have been laid down ,"theCouncil shall ,as
soon aspossible andonaproposal from theCommission ,laydown the
common rules necessary inorder toenable application ofthis Regulation

3.Now that the conditions laid down inArticle 4(3 )ofRegulation n°117/66/EEC
have thus been met/itisappropriate fortheCommunity tofulfil the
obligations incumbent upon itunder that Article inrespect ofshuttle
services and regular services .
4.Where occasional services areconcerned ,there have already been negotiat­
ions foranagreement -theASOR -between theEuropean Economic
Community ontheonehand andAustria ,Finland ,Norway ,Portugal ,Spain ,
Sweden ,Switzerland ,Turkey andYugoslavia ontheother .Allthose countries
-apart from Yugoslavia ,which will nottake part intheAgreement at
this stage -andtheCommunity will sign the ASOR inthefirst half of
1982 .Immediately thereafter itwill beconcluded ,andthereby ratified
asfar astheCommunity isconcerned .
TheASOR applies : - , '
y»
a)totheinternational carriage ofpassengers byroad bymeans ofoccasional
services effected :
-between theterritories ,oftwoContracting Parties or
-starting andfinishing intheterritory ofthesame Contracting
Party ,and,should theneed arise during such services ,intransit
through theterritory ofboth acontracting and anon-contracting State ,and
-using vehicles registered intheterritory ofaContracting Party
which ,,byvirtue oftheir construction andequipment ,aresuitable
forcarrying more than nine persons ,including thedriver ,andare
intended forthat purpose ;
b)tounladen journeys byvehicles inconnection with these services .
Inaddition tothedefinition ofthescope oftheAgreement ,theASOR
also contains :
-definitions ofthevarious types ofservice (i.e. occasional services ,
regular services andshuttle services ),based onthedefinitions agreed
atCommunity level forservices between theMember -States ;t
J
L.,

-3 -
>-measures toliberalize certain occasional services ,although the degree
ofliberalization ismore limited than that inrespect ofservices
between theMember States ;
-rules concerning theintroduction ofacontrol document foroccasional
services anddetails ofhowtouse it;amodel standard control document
isannexed totheAgreement (Community legislation istobeadopted in
order tointroduce the same model for services between the Member
States );
-général and final provisions .
NATURE AND SCOPE OFTHE NEGOTIATIONS
5.Thenature and scope ofthenegotiations with thethird countries must
bedetermined inthe light ofthe rules laid down inArticle 4(2 )and
(3)ofthe1966 Regulation ,andoftherequirements oftheCommunity
passenger transport system and offuture developments inthe flow of
traffic toand from the third countries concerned .
5.1 .Thethird countries concerned arethose which took part intheASOR
negotiations ,including Yugoslavia -which took part inallthenegotiations
but isnotgoing toconclude theAgreement atthis stage -because ofits
keyposition asatransit country forservices toandfrom Greece .
These countries have been chosen either because oftheir geographical
location orbecause ofthevolume ofregular and/orshuttle service
between them andtheMember States .Thedecisive factor ,however ,was
thedegree ofmutual interest intheestablishment ofcommon rules .
Itdoes notseem desirable atthemoment toopen similar negotiations
with theState trading third countries .

-Jf-
5.2 .Asregards thenegotiating procedure ,multilateral negotiations between
the Community onthe onehand ardall the third countries concerned on
the other would appear to "bepreferable ,for the following reasons :
-they can make itpossible toproduce uniform solutions for all services ,
whether between theCommunity and the third countries concerned or
between the third countries themselves ;
All the same ,insofar astheproblems tobediscussed orany develop­
ments inthemultilateral negotiations make itdesirable forbilateral
negotiations tobeopened with each ofthe third countries affected
orwith groups ofthese countries ,this option should notbeexcluded .
OBJECTIVES OFTHE NEGOTIATIONS
6.Themain objective ofthenegotiations istomake itpossible tolay
down common rules forregular services and shuttle services performed
inthevarious ways provided for inRegulation No.117/66/EEC ,andto
ensure that the third countries concerned accept control documents
which comply with theCommunity rules onthematter .

Asregards extending thescope oftheapplication oftheprovisions of
Regulation n°117/66/EECtoinclude transport services toorfrom athird
country ,there isalegal possibility fortheCommunity tolaydown
unilateral measures governing thesections onCommunity territory ,as
confirmed byArticle 4(3 )oftheRegulation .
However ,theclose link between services toorfrom third countries and
intra-Commun ityservices ,both from thepoint ofview oftheorganization
ofthefirms and asregards theoperation oftheservices ,leaves nodoubt
that ,inpractice ,theestablishment ofcommon rules fortheentire
journey ,whether onCommunity territory orinthethird countries concerned ,
will make formore effective andmore rational organization ofthe services
involved ,facilitate checks andsimplify theadministrative formalities .
Inthe light ofthese considerations ,aninternational agreement orseveral
international agreements with the third countries concerned would appear
thebest way ofextending the scope ofthe common rules referred toin
Article *f(3)*
The negotiations onthe conclusion ofsuch amagreement orseveral' such
agreements must make itpossible tolay down the common rules that are
necessary inorder toextend ,wherever possible ,theexisting Community
rules -and inparticular those concerning thedefinitions ofthevarious
types ofpassenger services ,therules which apply tothem ,theauthori­
zation procedures and the format and content oftheauthorization docu­
ments -toservices involving third countries .
Given these general objectives ,thenegotiating directives must beflexible
enough tomake itpossible totake account oftheprogress ofthediscussions
andofparticular technical requirements which mayemerge .

FORM OFTHE AGREEMENT ORAGREEMENTS
7.Asproposed insection 5*2.,thenegotiations should preferably lead to
concluding amultilateral Agreement ,but there are still reserve powers io
negotiate bilateral agreements .Moreover ,itwould appear useful tobeabl
toleave certain administrative work tothe secretariat oftheEuropean
Conference ofMinisters ofTransport (ECMT ).Inview oftheexistence ,
within the framework oftheECMT ,ofcertain regulations concerning regular
services and shuttle services inthe field ofinternational bus transport ,
itwould appear appropriate toinvite itssecretariat toattend themulti­
lateral negotiations asanobserver .
8.Economic impact ofthe rules tobelaid down
Asurvey conducted inseveral Member States indicates that allpassenger
services have expanded appreciably over the last fewyears ,both on
routes within theCommunity andonroutes toandfrom third countries .
The main reasons for this are that :
-coach andbus fares have not risen asfast asrail orair fares ;
-thetravelling conditions have improved (forexample ,thevehicles are
nowmorecomfortable andmanymotorways havebeen resurfaced ); !
-thecoach andbusservices available totourists arenowbetter organized , j
andthe range ofservices hasbeen improved .
8.1 .Summary ofsome ofthedata gathered bytheCommission departments .
8.1.1 .Federal Republic ofGermany i
i
Thetotal number ofcoach passengers carried ,taking alltheroutes and |
allcategories ofservice together ,rosebyAO.6Xbetween 1970 and1980 . !
|
Between 1980 and 1981 ,busservices *share oftotal passenger transport
rose from 8%to9.1 %,while therailways' andairlines' shares fell
from 13.3 %to12.2 %andfrom 15.3 %to13.9 Xrespectively .

«sf
8.1.2 .Belgium
Thenumber ofshuttle services rose from 64in1978 to144 in1981 -an
increase of125 %.Over that period breakdown ofthese services was as
follows :
Year Total Intra-Community routes Routes involving third
countries
1978 64 12 52
1979 94 38 56
1980 128 59 69
1981 144 50 94
Note that in1981 Belgium had almost twice asmany services involving
third countries asinvolving other Community countries .
8.1.3 .France
France hasprovided data onanumber ofregular orspecial regular services
involving third countries ,some ofwhich are setoutbelow :
Paris -Valencia -Murcia :1978 :Number ofpassengers carried : 94.144
Passenger-ki lometres worked :101.298.944
1980 :Number ofpassengers carried : 111.973
Passenger-kilometres worked :119.898.140
Paris -Istanbul : 1979 :Number ofpassengers carried : 3.603
Passenger-ki lometres worked :10.809.000
1980' :Number ofpassengers carried : 4.146
Passenger-ki lometres worked :12.438.000

8.1.4 ."Europabus "-thecoach service which certain European railways runfor
tourists -has stated that 47%ofits30regular international services
involved third countries .
8.2 .Thefigures given insection 8.1clearly illustrate that there hasbeen
asubstantial increase inthenumber andscale ofregular services and
shuttle services onroutes involving third countries ,andthat theeconomic
importance ofthose services cannot beignored .

9.LEGAL BASIS FORTHENEGOTIATIONS -THECOMMUNITY 'SPOWERS
Article 75oftheEECTreaty together with Article b2ofRegulation No.117/66/
EECprovides thelegal basis forentering into negotiations with third countriei
inthis field .
Theadoption andimplementation ofRegulation No.117/66/EEC ,Regulation (EEC )
No.516/72andRegulation (EEC)No.517/72-allofwhich were based onArticle
75oftheTreaty -brought therules governing the international carriage of
passengers byroad into thesphere ofthecommon transport policy and consequeni
lynecessarily conferred ontheCommunity thepower toconclude with third coun­
tries anyagreement onthematters covered bythose Regulations ,given that
external links cannot beseparated from the rules governing internal measures .
What ismore ,this Community competence isexclusive .Regulation No.117/66/EEC
gives theCommission the task ofnegotiating with third countries any agreements
related tothe field covered bythat Regulation .Moreover ,since this isan
area inwhich theCommunity has introduced common rules inthe context ofthe
common transport policy provided .forbytheTreaty ofRome ,theMember States
nolonger have the right ,whether individually orcollectively ,.toenter into
any obligations vis-a-vis third countries such asmight affect those rules .The
Community alone isinaposition toguarantee that obligations entered into
vis-a-visthird countries areimplemented inrespect ofall thearea inwhich
theCommunity legal system applies ,andconsequently :italone has thepower to
conclude agreements tothat effect with third countires .

10.NEGOTIATING DIRECTIVES
10.1 .Article 2oftheproposal provides that theCommission istoconduct the •
negotiations onthebasis oftheDirectives annexed totheproposal .
10.2 .TheECMT hasalready laid down general rules fortheinternational
carriage ofpassengers bycoach andbus (inResolution No.20of16
•*
December 1969 ,asamended on16June 1971 )*More specifically ,ithas
laid down definitions forregular services andshuttle services respect - .
ively . '

10.3 .Thenegotiations should make itpossible toeliminate thedifferences
between Community Legislation and the rules which currently apply tothe
international carriage ofpassengers toand from third countries ,wherever
the current parallelism islikely toraise legal problems ormake it
difficult toapply the rules inpractice .However ,they should beconfined
solely tothe types ofservice provided between theMember States and
the third countries which are ofgenuine economic importance tothe
various parties .
10.4 .Inthe light oftheforegoing considerations ,thenegotiations will be
directed towards standardizing thedefinitions ofthevarious types of
regular services and shuttle services .
10.5 .Thedesire forcommon rules does notnecessarily imply that thesame
rules should apply toall thethird countries concerned ifeconomic and
social conditions warrant different rules anddisparities remain between
thecompetitive position oftheindividual countries .Separate agreements
could perhaps beconcluded with certain ofthethird countries concerned ,
ifthis isthis case .
Moreover ,inthecontext ofthenegotiations oneshould not setout
systematically tobring the ECMT rules into line with theCommunity
legislation butexamine whether ,and ifsotowhat extent ,thedifferences
between thetwosystems might call forchanges intheCommunity rules *
•
Thenecessary amendments toCommunity legislation would then bemade
intheRegulation establishing themeasures tobetaken tobring into
effect theagreement which istobeconcluded .
Theconclusions which canbedrawn from examining thedifferences between
thevarious systems inthis light -andwhich should befollowed up
during the .negotiations -are setoutbelow .

-11-
10.6 .Scope ofthenegotiations
A.Definitions
a)TheECMT definition ofregular services isbroadly similar tothe
Community definition ,aslaid down inArticle 1(1)ofRegulation
n°117/66/EEC,though itgoes into greater detail .Inparticular ,it
isbased onthefollowing principles :
-fixed itinerary ;
-frequency ;and
-timetables .
TheECMT definition ofspecial regular services agrees word forword
with that inArticle 1(3 )ofRegulation n°'117 /66/EEC .
Itwould beappropriate tolook forways ofextending thedefinition
laid down inArticle 1(1 )ofRegulation n°117/66/EEC tothe third
countries concerned ,since thewording ,and inparticular the reference
to"specified routes ",allows aclearer distinction tobemade between
thestrictly controlled regular services and the liberalized occasional
services and will therefore make iteasier tostamp outabuses .
b)TheECMT definition ofshuttle services agrees word forword with that
inArticle 2(1),(2)and ^(3)oftheCouncil Regulation .However ,it
does notincorporate thewording ofArticle 2(4),which provides for
fixing theconditions under which exceptions tothat definition may
beauthorized .
Since itisessential tocontinue toallow operators thefreedom to
accept forthereturn journey passengers whomade theoutward journey
withanother group ,itwould bedesirable forthewording inquestion
tobeadded totheECMT definition ,which would then apply toservices
between theMember States and thethird countries concerned .

...
-12-
B.Scope
Both theECMT Resolution andRegulation n°117/66/EEC (see the second
indent ofArticle 4(1 )thereof )apply tocarriage invehicles intended
tocarry more than nine persons ,including thedriver .However ,the
Council Regulation also stipulates that thevehicle must be"suitable "
for that purpose .
Itwould beadvisable iftheoccasion arises /topropose tothethird
countries that they too should add this extra detail and ,inconse­
quence ,accept thedefinition setoutinRegulation No.117/66/EEC .
C.Common rules ofamore general nature
Inaddition tothetechnical points referred toabove ,anumber ofmore
general common rules should beagreed with thethird countries -inquestion ,
and inparticular :
-detailed rules forjoint examination ,bylierepresentatives ofeach
Contracting Party ,ofthegeneral operation oftheagreement oragreements
said ofspecial cases which mayarise when itisimplemented ;the
representatives could also putforward proposals foradditions or
amendments tothe agreement oragreements ;
-detailed rules for aprocedure forconsultation andconciliation among
theContracting Parties whenever aparticular need arises orwhen a
dispute concerning theinterpretation orapplication oftheagreement
oragreements makes itnecessary ;
-rules concerning theperiod ofvalidity oftheagreement oragreements ,
which itshould bepossible toextend automatically forsuccessive
periods ofapre-established duration 5
-rules concerning termination oftheagreement oragreements byoneofthe
Contracting Parties ,after consulting theother Party ,andtheperiod
ofnotice required fornotification oftermination .
