Question for written answer E-002448/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Pierfrancesco Maran (S&D)
Despite the Commission notice on well-functioning and sustainable local passenger transport-on-demand (taxis and PHV)[1], national and local regulations for ride-hailing services remain fragmented and at times outdated. This limits mobility for passengers, restricts opportunities for drivers and undermines the single market for digital and cross-border transport services.
The new single market strategy acknowledges this issue and notes that ‘the Commission will also envisage actions for applying EU single market rules and principles to the taxi and private hired vehicles sector’.
By 2030, according to some estimates, 190 million Europeans are expected to use ride-hailing services. Yet, access to these services varies widely across the EU. A coherent approach is needed to ensure fair and sustainable access to mobility-on-demand services.
In light of this, can the Commission:
- 1.explain how it intends to prevent further fragmentation in the sector and support the emergence of a single market for mobility-on-demand services?
- 2.clarify what concrete steps it is taking to promote alignment with the 2022 notice across Member States?
- 3.explain whether it plans to update the 2022 notice or strengthen it – through actions such as a recommendation or legislative proposal – to support consistent implementation and reduce fragmentation in the mobility-on-demand sector?
