Après avoir jugé qu’UberPop relève du transport et ne constitue pas un service de la société de l’information, la CJUE remet le couvert : les Etats qui règlementent Uber ne doivent pas notifier à la Commission européenne le projet de loi. La directive dite « de notification » ne s’applique en effet qu’aux services de la société de l’information.
Le Règlement (CE) n° 261/2004 du Parlement européen et du Conseil du 11 février 2004 établit des règles communes en matière d’indemnisation et d’assistance des passagers en cas de refus d’embarquement et d’annulation ou de retard important d’un vol.
Het koninklijk besluit rond het gebruik van drones is ondertussen meer dan één jaar oud. In het artikel geven we een overzicht van de geldende regelementerin. De eerste verjaardag van het KB blijkt een goed moment om de regels onder de loep te nemen en bij te spijkeren waar nodig. Op het kabinet van federaal Minister van Mobiliteit François Bellot werkt men aan een aangepast kader tot regeling van het gebruik van drones. Ondertussen zit ook Europa niet stil.
The Royal Decree on the use of drones in the Belgian airspace has come into force on 25 April 2016. The Royal Decree authorizes the use of drones both for private and commercial purposes provided compliance with strict obligations.
As from 1 April 2016, Belgium will be introducing a kilometre-based intelligent road charge for trucks exceeding 3.5 tonnes. The new toll will replace the existing Eurovignette and will be levied on national and international trucks travelling through Belgium. The tariff will vary according to the vehicle weight and the route taken. All trucks will therefore have to be fitted with an OBU (On Board Unit) that will track the vehicle via satellite.
On 19 January 2016, the European Commission approved compensation for public service obligations to two Swedish airports (Sundsvall Timra and Skelleftea) following a formal notification by the Swedish authorities.
In the 2014 Guidelines on State Aid to airports and airlines, the European Commission recognized the possibility for States to grant compensation for public service for the management of airports in isolated areas to ensure the accessibility of these territories.
The Belgian Minister of Mobility, Mrs Jacqueline Galant, has announced that the new Royal Decree related to the use of drones has been finalized and will be submitted for advice to the Council of State (“Raad van State”) and the Regional Governments. The first draft of the Royal Decree received criticism of Europe, so the Minister was compelled to temper the rather strict rules that applied to drones, and in particular the static distinction between professional and recreational use. The Minister expects that the Royal Decree will enter into force during the coming spring.
Les services de transport sanitaire d'urgence peuvent être confiés par priorité et par voie d'attribution directe aux organismes de bénévolat.
The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC) was ratified by Belgium one year ago and has, according to article VIII of the convention, now entered into force on 21 August 2014.
The SNCB has announced today that they will change their general conditions of carriage so as to provide that passengers will receive compensation in case of delay even is such delay has been caused by an event of force majeure.
This change in the general conditions of carriage is the consequence of a recent decision of the European Court of Justice in the ÖBB-Personenverkehr case.
