(1) In accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2020/[ADD REFERENCE] 5 of [ADD DATE], the Protocol to the Agreement on the international occasional carriage of passengers by coach and bus (Interbus Agreement) regarding the international regular and special regular carriage of passengers by coach and bus (‛the Protocol’) was signed on […] 2020, subject to its conclusion at a later date.

(2) The Protocol should facilitate the provision of regular and special regular services between the Contracting Parties to the Interbus Agreement and hence give rise to improved passenger transport links between them.

(3) As regards general rules, notably the operation of the Joint Committee, and in order to facilitate its application, the Protocol largely mirrors the rules established in the Interbus Agreement.

(4) In order for its benefits not to be excessively delayed, the Protocol provides for its entry into force, for the Contracting Parties that have approved or ratified it, when three Contracting Parties, including the Union, have approved or ratified it.

(5) Therefore, the Protocol should be approved on behalf of the Union.
