The REFIT Platform adopted two opinions in the area of

mobility and transport. On passenger transport and in par-

ticular on the elimination of the journey waybill for occa-

sional services by coach, the Commission has ensured fol-

low-up to this opinion in its proposal reviewing and improving

the common rules for access to the international market for

coach and bus services. The proposal was adopted in No-

vember 2017. It is proposed to abolish the journey form as

a control document for occasional services, in order to elimi-

nate administrative burden. As for reporting formalities for

ships, the REFIT Platform opinion was considered in the pro-

posal for a European maritime single window in May 2018.

Violeta Bulc, Commissioner for Transport

"The Regulation on a European Maritime Single Window environment will establish harmonised

reporting interfaces, procedures and data formats for ships calling EU ports. This will cut red

tape and contribute to multimodal solutions."
