REPORT 

on the implementation of Regulation (EEC) N° 3118/93 

laying down the conditions under which non-resident carriers may 

operate national road haulage services within a Member State (CABOTAGE) 

0.  Introduction 

0.1.  Cabotage, that is national transport by non-resident hauliers,  is a relatively  recent 
phenomena  despite  being  specifically  mentioned  in  Article  75.1  (b)  of  the  Treaty  of 
Rome.  Cabotage  authorizations  were  introduced  as  from  1  July  1990  under  Council 
Regulation (EEC) N° 4059/89 of 21 December  19891.  The initial quota, for the period 1 
July  1990 to 30 June  1991, was 15 000 authorizations with  each authorization valid for 2 
months;  however,  Member  States  could  ask  for  the  2-month  authorizations  to  be 
exchanged  for  twice  as many  1 -month  authorizations.  Each  authorization  permitted  the 
haulier to carry out  cabotage in one (or several) other Member States during the 2-month 
(or  1-month)  period.  The  authorization  must  accompany  the  tractive  unit  during 
it  can  be  transferred  between  different  vehicles  belonging  to  the 
cabotage  operations; 
same  haulier  since  the  authorization  only  indicates  the  name  of  the  haulier  not  the 
registration plate. 

0.2.  Regulation 4059/89 also included  a provision  for  an annual  increase of  15% in 
the  size  of  the  quota;  an  additional  increase  in  the  quota  was  made  in  1991  to 
accomodate the incorporation  of the former  German  Democratic  Republic  into  Germany 
(Council Regulation (EEC) N° 296/91 of 4 February  1991)2. 

0.3.  Under  Council  Regulation  (EEC) N° 3118/93 of 25 October  19933, the  cabotage 
quota was increased to 30 000 authorizations for  1994, the annual  increase of the quota 
was  raised  to 30% and,  more  importantly,  it was agreed to  abolish  quotas  as  from  1 
July  1998  (see  Article  12.2  (ibid)).  It  should  also  be  noted  that  cabotage  quotas  have 
already  been  abolished  between  the  3 Benelux  countries  (actually,  this  was  done  at  the 
end of  1992) pursuant to Article 233 of the Treaty of Rome.

0.4. 
The  scope  of  the  cabotage  regime  was  extended  to  the  Efta  States  with  the 
creation  of  the  European  Economic  Area  (EEA)4.  The  relevant  legislation  for  cabotage, 
which  excluded  Austria,  came  into  force  on  1 July  1994  (EEA  Joint  Committee  Decision 
N°  7/94  of  21  March  1994)5.  Under  this  legislation,  Community  hauliers  and  hauliers 
from  Finland,  Iceland,  Norway  and  Sweden  could  carry  out  cabotage  in  any  EEA  State 
(except  Austria).  The  geographical  scope  of  the  cabotage  regime  remained  unchanged 
when  Finland  and  Sweden  joined  the  European  Community  on  1  January  1995  as 
Protocol  N°  9  to  the  Accession  Treaty6,  only  brought  Austria  into  the  cabotage  regime 
on  1  J a n u a ry  1997-Finally  it  should  be  noted  that  Liechtenstein  joined  the  cabotage 
regime  on  adhesion  to the  EEA  on  1 May  1995 (EEA  Joint  Committee  Decision  N°  1/95 
of  10 March  95)7. 

Regulation  3118/93  forsees,  in  Article  1,  paragraph  4, 

that  the  Commission 
0.5. 
should  adopt  the  detailed  rules  regarding  "own  account"; 
this  was  done  through 
Commission  Regulation  (EC)  N°  792/948,  it  should  be  noted,  however,  that  the  number 
of  cabotage  authorizations  remained  unchanged.  As  the  use  of  cabotage  authorizations 
by  "own  account"  operators  has  been  quite  small,  the  "penetration  rate  of  cabotage"  has 
been  calculated  throughout  the  period  1990  to  1995  by  dividing  the  "cabotage  activity" 
by the "national  transport  activity" for just  the "hire  or reward"  operators. 

This  report  has  four  sections; 

the  first  section  discusses  the  statistics  to  be 
0.6. 
supplied  by  national  authorities  and  the  data  actually  delivered; 
the  second  section  is 
devoted  to  an  analysis  of the  cabotage  statistics  up  from  mid-1990 to  the  end  of  1995  (so 
as  to  have  an  adequate  time  series  to  show  the  development  of  the  use  of  the  cabotage 
authorizations,); 
the  third  section  forecasts  the  main  cabotage  statistics  to  mid-1998; 
the fourth  section  presents the  conclusions.

0.7. 
This  report-is  prepared  by  virtue  of  Article  11  of  Regulation  3118/93,  which 
requires  the  Commission  to  submit  a  report  to  the  Council  on  the  application  of  this 
Regulation  every  two  years.  For the sake of completeness  and  comparability  it  starts in 
mid-1990 and is based, for the period  from  mid-1990 to the end of  1994, on data relating 
to  the  .12 Member  States  and,  for  the  period  after  1.1.1995,  on  data  relating  to  the  15 
Member States (except Austria). The Commission considers it useful,  in the same report, 
to  consider  the  application  of  Regulation  3118/93  also  in  the  framework  of  the  EEA 
Agreement;  thus  the  report  also  includes  data  relating  to  Finland  and  Sweden  (for  the 
second half of  1994) and Iceland, Liechtenstein  and Norway  (for  the second half of  1994 
and the whole of  1995).  A copy will thus be sent for  information  to the EEA Council  as 
under  the  EEA  Agreement  it  is  for  the  EFTA  Standing  Committee  to  make  its  own 
assessment concerning the EFTA States. 

1.  Statistics supplied by national  authorities 

1.1.  Under Regulation 4059/89,  each reporting Member  State was required  to supply 
data  on  "days",  "tonnes"  and  "tonne-kilometres"  relating  to  cabotage  movements 
performed  by their own hauliers on a quarterly  basis with  separate data for  each  (other) 
Member  State  where  the  cabotage  was  carried  out; 
these  requirements  apply  to  the 
period  1  July  1990 to 31 December  1993. 

1.2.  Under  Regulation  3118/93,  Member  States  were  no  longer  required  to  supply 
information  on  "tonnes"  and  "tonne-kilometres"  was  however  still 
data  on  "days"; 
required  to  be  supplied  in  the  same  way  as previously  (see  §1.1).  From  1 July  1994, 
Member States also have to supply information  on cabotage carried out in the Efta  States; 
likewise  the  Efta  States  have  to  supply  similar  data  on  cabotage.  Data  reporting 
requirements relating to Austria only apply as from  1  January  1997. 

1.3 
To  avoid  confusion,  the  order  of countries  in which the  data  was  to  be  supplied 
was established,  for  statistical  reasons, as follows:  Germany  (D),  France  (F),  Italy  (I), 
Netherlands  (NL),  Belgium  (B),  Luxembourg  (L),  United  Kingdom  (UK),  Ireland 
(IRL),  Denmark  (DK),  Greece  (GR),  Spain  (E),  Portugal  (P),  Iceland  (IS),  Norway 
(N),  Finland (FIN),  Sweden (S),  Liechtenstein  (FL),  Austria (A). The beginning of the 
list  corresponds  to  the  original  12  Member  States  when  Regulation  3118/93  came  into 
force,  which  is in the  same order as the "standard  order" adopted  by  EUROSTAT  in  its 
publications  relating  to the "Road  Statistics  Directive",  extracts  of which  are  needed  in 
the analyses that follow.  The last part of the list corresponds to the countries in the order 
in which they joined the cabotage regime. 

1.4. 
The  Commission's  Services have extensively  analysed  the quarterly  data  on tkm 
(tonne-kilometres)  from  the third quarter of  1990 to the fourth  quarter of  1995 (and  have 
also briefly  examined the quarterly  data for  1996 that has already  arrived;  however,  the 
1996  data  is  still  far  from  being  complete).  While  the  data  on  "tonnes" has  also  been 
examined,  it  is  not  included  in  this  report  for  the  reasons  set  out  in  the  Report  to  the 
Council  on  the  use  of  1990/91  road  cabotage  authorizations  (submitted  as  part  of 
COM(91) 377 final of 22 November  1991)9. 

The data  supplied  by the  reporting  states  for  the  period  third  quarter  of  1990 to 

1.5. 
fourth  quarter of  1995 is complete except as follows: 

Italy: 

Italy: 

third quarter  1990 to third quarter  1992 inclusive; 

third and fourth  quarters 1995; 

Denmark: 

all quarters 1994 

The  missing  data,  but just  the  data  for  tkm,  has been  estimated;  estimated  values  are 
generally  shown  in the tables  of this report  in italics (note  also that  forecast  values  in  the 
tables of this report  are shown  in bold). This rule is not followed  in those tables  obtained 
directly from computer output (Tables  1, 7 and 8). 

1.6.  No quarterly data is presented  in this report as there are now 22 quarterly  periods 
from the time  cabotage  was  introduced  up till  the  end  of  1995; 
in this  report  data  has 
been grouped,  at least  into half year periods and,  frequently,  on an annual basis. 

1.7.  This report also makes use of tkm  data on national  transport by "hire or  reward" 
hauliers  from  the  "Road  Statisics  Directive" (Council  Directive  78/546/EEC  of  12 June 
197810  as  modified  by  Council  Directive  89/462/EEC  of  18  July  1989)»'  in  order  to 
calculate  "penetration  rates"  for  "cabotage"  expressed  as  a  %  of  the  corresponding 
"national  transport".  The national  transport  data presented  in this report  has  been  taken, 
where possible,  from  the information  supplied to EUROSTAT by the national  statistical 
authorities;  however,  it  has  been  necessary  to  (a)  add  data  from  other  sources  for  the 
"Efta  States",  (b) adjust  data where the time  series appear  inconsistent  (e.g. to  estimate 
backwards to take account  of the major  upward revision  of the German  data),  (c)  adjust 
data where under-reporting  has been quantified  by the national  authorities  (e.g. 30% has 
been  added to the  French  data) and  (d) estimate  recent  data  where this  has  not  yet  been 
supplied to EUROSTAT.

2.  Main  results  relating  to  Cabotage  Statistics.  2nd  half  1990  to  2nd  half  1995 
inclusive 

Unless otherwise stated,  the results in this section of the Report refer to the whole 
period  (2nd half  1990 to 2nd half  1995 inclusive)  and are expressed  in  tonne-kilometres 
(tkm);  references  to  the  "1st  period"  mean  "2nd  half  1990  to  1st half  1994  inclusive" 
when  the  cabotage  system  only  covered  EU 12;  while  references  to  the  "2nd  period" 
mean "2nd half  1994 to 2nd half  1995 inclusive" when the cabotage system was extended 
to the Efta  States.  The main results are: 

From a low initial  level in the 2nd half  1990 of  176 million (mio) tkm  (352 mio 
2.1. 
tkm  on  an  annual  basis), cabotage  increased  almost  5-fold  to  1 677  mio tkm  in  1995. 
The  average  penetration  rate  of  cabotage  in  national  (hire  or  reward)  markets  thus 
increased from  0.07% (2nd half  1990) to 0.26% (1995). 

2.2. 
The  average  use  of  a  (2-month)  authorization  rose  from  23  000  tkm  (2nd  half 
1990) to  48  000 tkm  (1993),  but  has  since  fallen  to  35 000 tkm  (1994  and  1995);  the 
average use over the whole period was 38 000 tkm. 

2.3. 
The hauliers from  the Benelux have been the most active in the cabotage  market; 
despite  having  only  approximately  25% of  the  cabotage  authorizations,  almost  60%  of 
all cabotage  was done  by Benelux  hauliers.  Dutch  and  Belgian  hauliers  average  use of 
cabotage authorizations was about 95 000 tkm (2 1/2 times the overall average), while for 
Luxembourg  hauliers the  average  use was 74 000 tkm.  In the  2nd  period,  35% of all 
cabotage  was  done  by  Dutch  hauliers,  and the  average  use  surpassed  100 000  tkm.  (It 
should however be noted that hauliers  from  "geographically  small" countries  have more 
incentive  to  do  cabotage  not  only  because  their  own  national  markets  are  so  small  but 
also  because  other  national  markets  are  frequently  "geographically  quite  close". 
In 
contrast  hauliers  from  "large"  countries  have  little  incentive  to  carry  out  cabotage  in 
"small" countries even if they are "geographically quite close".) 

Other  "active"  hauliers  in  the  cabotage  market  were  from  France  (13% of  the 
2.4 
market  and  average  use  of  46  000  tkm),  Denmark  (7% and  34  000 tkm),  and  United 
Kingdom  (4%  and  20  000  tkm).  Hauliers  from  "newcomer"  Sweden  (with  7%) 
exceeded  the  shares  of  Denmark  and  United  Kingdom  in  the  2nd  period,  the 
corresponding  average  use  of  55  000  tkm  only  being  surpassed  by  hauliers  from  the 
Benelux. 

2.5 
Despite  the  relatively  large  number  of  authorizations  allocated  to  Germany  and 
Italy  (14%  and  11%  respectively)  their  hauliers  were  not  very  active  in  the  cabotage 
markets achieving only 6%  and 4%  respectively of the market.  These results were also 
reflected  in  low  average  uses  of  only  17 000  and  13 500 tkm  respectively;  in  the  2nd 
period, the German average use fell to 11 000. 

2.6 
Only  2%  of  the  cabotage  was  carried  out  by  hauliers  from  "low  labour  cost" 
countries (Greece, Portugal, Spain), despite the fact that hauliers from  these  3 countries 
were allocated  some  18% of the cabotage  authorizations.  Average  use  of  authorizations 
by Greek, Portuguese  and  Spanish hauliers have only been 40 tkm, 3 350 tkm  and  8 000 
tkm  respectively.  Fears  that  hauliers  from  "low  labour  cost"  countries  would  provide 
"unfair"  competition  for  hauliers  in  "high  labour  cost"  countries  thus  appear  to  be 
unfounded. 

2.7.  Almost 70% of the cabotage was carried out in Germany, the proportion  having 
risen from  64%  (1st  period)  to  73% (2nd  period);  the  penetration  rate  (of  the  German 
national  (hire or reward) market) has risen from  almost 0.2%  (2nd half  of  1990) to  over 
0.8% (1995). 

12% of the cabotage was carried out in France,  while the proportion  carried  out 

2.8. 
in Italy has fallen from 12% (1st period) to 5% (2nd period). 

2.9  Only  about  10% of  the  cabotage  was  carried  out  in  the  remaining  states,  in 
1995.  The  lowest  penetration  rates recorded  (ignoring  Iceland  and  Liechtenstein  where 
no  cabotage  has  yet  been  observed)  were  0.007%  (Finland),  0.03%  (Denmark)  and 
0.04%  (Netherlands and United Kingdom). 

In  the  1st  period,  5  of  the  12  countries  had  a  negative  'balance'  of  cabotage 
2.10. 
These  were,  in  mio tkm,  Germany  (-1643)12,  Italy  (-220),  Spain  (-32),  Portugal  (-17) 
and Greece (-6);  however the negative balances for  Italy and Greece must be taken  with 
caution  due  to  the  large  number  of  estimates  for  Italian  hauliers  and  the  virtual  'nil' 
reporting for the Greek hauliers. 

2.11. 
In the 2nd  period,  6 of the  17 countries  had  a negative  balance;  these  were,  in 
mio  tkm,  Germany  (-1595;  i.e.  91-1686),  Italy  (-44),  Spain  (-33),  Greece  (-9), 
Norway  (-4)  and  Portugal  (-3);  however  it  can  be  seen  that  only  Germany  has  a 
substantial negative balance. 

12  The  negative  balance  of  -1643  mio  tkm  for  Germany  is  the  result  of  237  mio  tkm 
(cabotage  performed  by  German  hauliers  in  other  Member  States)  minus  1880  mio 
tkm (cabotage performed  by hauliers from  other Member States in Germany) 

2.12.  The largest quantity  of cabotage carried out by hauliers from one specific  state in 
another  specific  state  was  by  Dutch  hauliers  in  Germany  during  both  the  1st  period 
(554 out of 2951 mio tkm,  i.e.  19% of all  cabotage  by  all hauliers  in  all  states)  and  the 
2nd  period  (718  out  of  2319  mio  tkm,  i.e.  31%),  the  "runner  up"  in  both  periods  was 
cabotage by Belgian hauliers in Germany  (400 mio tkm (i.e.  14%) during the  1st period 
and 266 mio tkm (i.e. 11%) during the 2nd period). 

3. 

Forecasts of cabotage use from  1996 to 1998 (1st halfl 

These  forecasts  only  relate  to  tkm;  they  are  based  on  an  extrapolation  of the  observed 
values  of  "average  use  of  cabotage  authorizations"  for  each  reporting  state  (including 
1996 where  already  communicated  by the  state  concerned,  as  shown  in  Table  4)  which 
are  generally  declining;  estimates  are thus  made  for  the  remaining  states  for  1996  and 
for  all  states  for  1997  and  1998  (1st  half).  These  "average  use"  estimates  are  then 
multiplied by the number of (2-month) cabotage authorizations  allocated to each  state in 
the  period  concerned  to  provide  the  forecast  of  total  cabotage  use  for  each  reporting 
state.  Note that in carrying out this procedure, it was necessary to infer  an "average use" 
for  Austrian  hauliers,  as there  are,  as yet,  no  observed  values  of  cabotage  statistics  for 
Austrian hauliers.  The main results are: 

3.1 
Cabotage  can  be  expected  to  rise  from  1677  mio  tkm  in  1995 to  an  estimate  of 
2000 mio tkm in  199613 and to  forecasts  of  2466 mio tkm in  1997  and  1417 mio tkm in 
the 1st half of 1998  (2834 mio tkm on an annual basis which is a rise of 70% on  1995). 
The  average  penetration  rate  of  cabotage  in  national  (hire  or  reward)  markets  can  be 
expected to rise from  0.26% in 1995 to a forecasted  0.45% in the 1st half of 1998. 

The forecasts  show that the hauliers  from  the Benelux  will continue to dominate 
3.2. 
the  cabotage  market,  with  an  estimated  60%  of  all  cabotage  in  the  1st  half  of  1998; 
Dutch hauliers alone are expected to perform over  35% of all cabotage in the  1st half of 
1998. 

3.3.  Although  no  direct  forecast  has been  made  concerning  "where  the  cabotage  will 
be carried  out";  the proportion  of cabotage  carried  out  in Germany  can be  expected  to 
be  70-75% of all cabotage and would thus be about  1000 mio tkm in the  1st half of 1998 
(about 2000 mio tkm  on an annual basis);  it would then be expected  to be  about  1.3% 
of the German national (hire or reward) market. 

13  This estimation  was necessary  because the Commission  has not received  from  some 

Member States the complete data for  1996 

The largest quantity  of cabotage carried  out by hauliers  from  one specific  state in 
3.4 
another  specific  state  will  almost  certainly  continue  to  be  by  Dutch  hauliers  in 
Germany;  this is expected to be about 33 %  of all cabotage by all hauliers in all states 
in the  first  half  of  1998, i.e.  470 mio  tkm  (940 mio  tkm  on  an  annual  basis);  it  would 
then be expected to be about 0.6% of the German national (hire or reward) market. 

4. 

Conclusions 

Although  the  number  of  cabotage  authorizations  has  been  raised  considerably, 

4.1 
the overall influence  on the market is very small. 

This  situation  is  not  expected  to  change  abruptly  following  the  abolition  of 

4.2 
cabotage quotas in mid-1998. 

The  most  successful  cabotage  hauliers  are  not  those  from  Member  States  with 

4.3 
low labour costs, but those of  Member States with very efficient  enterprises.
