Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his policy is on the application of Regulation EC 1071/2009 concerning occupation of transport operators.
As an EU Regulation the United Kingdom is obliged to implement such measures as specified. The requirements under Regulation 1071/2009 were met by amending domestic legislation which was implemented on 4 December 2011. These legislative changes will be the subject of a Post Implementation Review in 2016.
