1.    On 9 April 1987 , the Commission made a proposal for a Council Regulation on
      common rules for the international carriage of passengers by coach and bus
      ( 1 ). In that proposal , the present system whereby regular and shuttle services
      are subject to authorisation but occasional services are not was maintained ,
      though simplified .
2.    Following the proposal by the European Parliament that shuttle services with
      accommodation be freed from the authorization requirement , the Commission
      accepted the amendments put forward by Parliament at its plenary session of
      March 1988 which would achieve this . A proposal under article 149 ( 3 ) has
      therefore been submitted to the Council incorporating Parliament 's amendments .
3.    In their proposed amendments , Parliament included one which would have made
      shuttle services with accommodation , which would no longer be subject to
      authorization , free to pick up and set down passengers at any number of places
      in the States of departure and of destination and would have allowed an
      unlimited number of passengers to change groups . The Commission did not accept
      this amendment as it could have turned these services into quasi-regular
      services and would make checking difficult .
4.    However , shuttle services with accommodation should have some flexibility in
      this respect , as they do under the existing Regulation ( EEC ) No . 516 / 72 on the
      introduction of common rules for shuttle services by coach and bus between
      Member States ( 2 ), and would have in the provisions of the above-mentioned
      Commission proposal of 9 April 1987 - Therefore , the annexed proposal made
      under article 149 , contains a new amendment to this proposal , whereby shuttle
      services with accommodation may stop at four pick up and set down places in
      the countries of departure and destination and for a maximum of 3056 of the
      persons who made the outward journey to be able to change group .
      These possibilities are of sufficiently limited scope not to risk turning
      shuttle services with accommodation that take advantage of them into
      quasi-regular services and should be relatively easy to check .

            - pick up on the return journey passengers who made the outward journey
              with another group , on condition that the total number of such
              passengers does not exceed 30 % of the number of passengers carried on
              the outward journey ?
            - pick up passengers at a maximum of three places on the outward
              journey and deposit then at a maximum of three places on the return
              journey , other than the place of departure , provided that these places
              are situated in the State from which the service departs ?
            - set down passengers at a maximum of three places on the outward
              journey and pick than up at a maximun three places on the return
