European Commission adopts “no-deal” Brexit contingency measures for railway safety and connectivity
On 26 February, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU reached a provisional political agreement on Brexit contingency measures for road transport proposed by the European Commission, which aims at limiting the most significant damage caused by a possible “no-deal” scenario. The regulation will allow United Kingdom operators to carry goods and passengers between the EU and the UK, provided the UK: grants EU operators equivalent rights; it continues to comply with relevant social and technical rules of the EU; and fair competition between EU and UK operators is ensured. It will also allow UK hauliers to carry out limited operations within the territory of the EU until the end of 2019. This contingency measure will have to be formally approved by the European Parliament and the Council before it can enter into force.
