EXPLANATÛXÏ MEMORANDUM
1Under theFirst Directive of23July 19«2 ,removals byroad between Member
States arenot subject toanyquota system but they raayrequire authorization ,
Inpractice ,allremovals dorequire such adocument .
There isnolimit tothenumber ofauthorizations which areissued toremovers ,
but thepractice sofarhasbeen toissue bilateral authorizations .Asaresult ,
depending onthe journeys involved ,reasov&l companies require several authori­
zations ,tobeissued ineach case bytheauthorities inthecountry ofdepart­
ure andallocated bythose inthe country ofdestination and oftransit .
Thenumerous administrative formalities involved tend tocomplicate intra -
Community removals andunnecessarily reduce removers' mobility .These difficult­
iesareparticularly troublesome inthe case ofremovals because ,unlike the
three other categories ofcarriage listed inAnnex IItotheFirst Directive ,
removers are involved incarrying outmultilateral transport operations bythe
very nature oftheir activities .
This type oftransport operation would therefore bemuch easier toorganize
iftheremover could beequipped with amultilateral authorization oftheMember
State inwhich hehashisplace ofbusiness ,authorizing him toeffect inter­
national removals throughout theCommunity .
Since international removals within theCommunity arevirtually all effected
byroad this measure would not ,moreover ,affect competition with theother
modes oftransport .
Itshould also bepointed out that this proposal takes account ofthe desidera­
taofFEDEMAC (theFederation ofCommon Market Removers ).
Theimplementation details areexplained intheappended proposal fora
Directive .
First Council Directive onthe establishment ofcommon rules for certain
rypes ofcarriage ofgoods byroad between Member States (OJNo.70of

^= COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
AMENDING DIRECTIVE 65/269/EECCONCERNING THE STANDARDIZATION OFCERTAIN RULES
RELATING TOAUTHORIZATIONS FOR THE CARRIAGE OFGOODS BYROAD BETWEEN
MEMBER STATES
THECOUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,and
inparticular Article 75thereof .
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Having regard totheopinion oftheEuropean Parliament \
2Having regard totheopinion oftheEconomic andSocial Committee ,
Whereas theadoption ofacommon transport policy involves ,inter alia ,laying
dovn common rules for the carriage ofgoods byroad between Member States $
whereas such rules should bedrawn upinsuch away astohelp establish ac
common transport market ;
Whereas theFirst Council Directive of23July1962^already exempts fromany
quota system removals carried outbyroad between Member States byundertakings
having special staff andequipment forthis purpose ,although such transport
operations may remain subject toauthorization provided noquantitative
restriction isinvolved :
Whereas ,however ,thepresent practice ofbilateral authorizations whereby
several authorizations may have tobeissued bynational authorities
involved depending ontheremoval operation inquestion ,constitutes anobstacle
tointra-Community removals ;
Whereas multilateral authorizations should ensure more efficient organization
ofremovals and hence increase theproductivity oftheundertakings concerned ;
Whereas ,moreover ,such ameasure will not affect thelegitimate interests of
other modes oftransport ,asremovals byroad between Member States donot
compete with other modes ;
