                                                                Ó?T7 S -j^
1 . Un 'Ll February 1987 the Commission submitted to the Council a
     proposal for a Council Regulatin laying down the conditions under
     which non-resident carriers may operate national road passenger
     transport services within a Member State ( 1 ).
     The purpose of the proposal was to enable operators from the Member
     States to run road passenger transport services temporarily within
     another Member without being obliged to set up an establishment in
     that State . This is commonly known as " cabotage ". Such operators
     must be already authorized to carry out international transport
     services and their cabotage operations shall be subject to the
     legislation of the host State , provided this is not applied in a
     discriminatory fashion .
     The proposal helps implement the provisions of the Judgement of the
     Court of Justice of 22 May 1985 and of the White Paper on
     Completing The Internal Market .
2 . At its plenary session on 10 March 1988 , Parliament approved the
     proposal subject to certain amendments .
3 . The Commission accepted two amendments .   One imposes an obligation
     on Member States to inform the Commission of measures they have
     taken to implement the Regulation , whilst the other is a drafting
     improvement .
4 . The principal amendment rejected by the Commission was one which
     would have deferred until 1 January 1990 the introduction of
     cabotage . The Commission opposes this extra delay on the grounds
     that cabotage is already long overdue from a legal point of view
     and that the afore-mentioned White Paper sets 1 January 1989 as the
     deadline .
