Questions referred







1.


Does Regulation (EU) 2018/644 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 April 2018 on cross-border parcel delivery services, (1) with regard to the collection of information, apply as such only to cross-border delivery service providers or, in general, to all parcel delivery service providers, subject to specific exclusions relating to individual provisions?










2.


If the answer to Question 1 is that it applies only to cross-border delivery service providers, does Directive 97/67/EC, (2) or do the so-called ‘implied powers’, provide the legal basis for the national regulatory authorities to impose, in any event, on delivery service providers, even non-cross-border ones, general obligations to provide information?










3.


If the answer to Question 2 is no, must the fact that Regulation (EU) 2018/644 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 April 2018 does not apply to non-cross-border delivery providers be regarded as reasonable, non-discriminatory and in accordance with Articles 14, 114 and 169 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union?










4.


To what extent (including from the perspective of necessity and proportionality) can the national regulatory authority impose obligations to provide information on parcel delivery service providers and, in particular, is it possible to impose, on all providers without distinction, obligations to provide information concerning:






(i)


the conditions applied to different types of customers;










(ii)


the contracts which govern the relations between the individual undertaking that provides the parcel delivery service and the undertakings which in various ways, according to the specificities of the sector, contribute to providing that service;










(iii)


the economic conditions and the legal protection afforded to workers employed in various capacities in providing the service?
