COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3315/94 of 22 December 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3118/93 laying down the conditions under which non-resident carriers may operate national road haulage services within a Member State

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to the 1994 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 169 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas pursuant to the Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, Regulation (EEC) No 3118/93 (1) of 25 October 1993 should be amended in order to allocate and appropriate number of Community cabotage authorizations to Austria, Finland and Sweden;

Whereas by virtue of Article 13 of Protocol No 9 on road, rail and combined transport in Austria as annexed to the 1994 Act of Accession, Regulation (EEC) No 3118/93 shall only apply from 1 January 1997 to: (a) hauliers with a Community authorization issued by the competent authorities in Austria for the operation of national road haulage services in other Member States, and (b) hauliers with a Community authorization issued by the competent authorities in another Member State for the operation of national road haulage services in Austria;

Whereas the enlargement of the Community will result in an increase of the road haulage market; whereas an addition number of Community cabotage authorizations should therefore be fixed for the twelve present Member States;

Whereas, by reason of accession, a number of technical adjustments should also be made to Regulation (EEC) No 3118/93;

Whereas it is necessary to continue, temporarily, arrangements set up in the framework of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), so that the cabotage authorizations for the beginning of 1995 can be printed in due time;

Whereas by virtue of Article 2 (3) of the 1994 Treaty of Accession, the institutions of the Communities may adopt, before accession, the measures pursuant to Article 169 of the 1994 Act, such measures entering into force subject to, and on the date of, the entry into force of the said Treaty,
