🚕🤳🚗Innovative solutions like on-demand taxi and PHV services improve #UrbanMobility but are often confronted with ancient rules, harming EU passengers and drivers alike. bit.ly/3jKMWyH #RideHailing
Today’s rejection of the agreement on the #PlatformWork Directive confirms that the current text is not fit for purpose.
A presumption of employment is not what drivers want, as they have stated repeatedly survey after survey, letter after letter, petition after petition.
Drivers want to remain independent, and to be able to run their own business and work across platforms.
More legal uncertainty and litigation is not what Member States want, as evidenced by the clear and large rejection of the proposed compromise.
The broad indicators would overwhelm national courts, and undo positive reforms. Platforms together with self-employed drivers will continue working on making the #RideHailing sector an environment which benefits all.

@MoveEU_official is deeply concerned following the provisional agreement reached on the #PWD during trilogue negotiations this morning.

While acknowledging efforts to address the complexities of platform work, we feel that the agreed-upon provisions fall short of meeting the wishes of platform workers. This provisional agreement fails to fully live up to drivers’ demands and needs.

@MoveEU_official calls upon the @EU_Commission, the @Europarl_EN and the @EUCouncil to address the lack of legal clarity and certainty of the Platform Work Directive during the interinstitutional negotiations. #PlatformWork
Move EU members had a fruitful discussion with @ChaNorMat from @AdinaValean's cabinet about the role #RideHailing can play in achieving the green & digital transition of #UrbanMobility. 🚕 🚗
We also took stock of the @EU_Commission's recommendations on taxi & PHV rules and shared views on the upcoming initiative on #MultimodalDigitalMobilityServices. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-cont…
Today, the @Europarl_EN switched to another gear by recognising:
💡that #RideHailing complements traditional public transport, and its potential in cutting emissions, improving air quality, reducing noise & congestion and enhancing connectivity with suburban and peri-urban areas
We count on the European Parliament and European Commission to take this into account in future actions on #UrbanMobility and are ready to engage with stakeholders to provide insights from the ride-hailing sector.

Today’s agreement shows that social dialogue is an effective way forward to ensure better working conditions while taking into account the interests of drivers.
The EMPL position on the #PlatformWork Directive instead will have a negative impact on working conditions by triggering mass reclassification. Move EU calls on MEPs to reject the mandate to enter trilogues and to improve the EP position.
