COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1839/92

of 1 July 1992

laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation No 684/92 as regards documents for the international carriage of passengers

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 684/92 of 16 March 1992 on common rules for the international carriage of passengers by coach and bus (1), and in particular Articles 2 (2.2) and (3.4), 5 (4), 6 (2), 11 (6) and 13 (3) thereof,

Having consulted the Member States,

Whereas Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 684/92 makes regular services, shuttle services without accommodation, residual occasional services and certain special regular services subject to authorization;

Whereas Article 11 (1) of the Regulation states that the shuttle services with accomodation defined in Article 2 (2.2), and the occasional services referred to in Article 2 (3.1) (a), (b), (c) and (d) shall be carried out under cover of a control document;

Whereas Article 13 (1) of the Regulation lays down that the own account transport operations defined in Article 2 (4) are subject to a system of certificates;

Whereas Article 13 (2) of the Regulation makes own account transport other than that mentioned in Article 2 (4) subject to authorization;

Whereas rules governing the use of the control documents referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 684/92 and the means of communicating to the Member States concerned the names of the carriers carrying out these services and of the connection points en route need to be determined;

Whereas the models of the documents established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1172/72 (2), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1016/68 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2485/82 (4), no longer meet the requirements of Regulation (EEC) No 684/92, and these Regulations should therefore be repealed and replaced by appropriate provisions;

Whereas the Member States need time to have the new documents printed and distributed;

Whereas, meanwhile, carriers should be able to use the present documentation laid down in Regulations (EEC) No 1016/68 and (EEC) No 1172/72, suitably amended to take account of the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 684/92 and of this Regulation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
