Division 2

The Commission notes that the TCT does not include provisions on market access concerning road haulage transport, neither in the Treaty text nor in its Annexes, so that Article 1(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009 continue to apply at this stage, in respect of the South East European parties. As long as this situation is not modified, bilateral agreements between Member States and South East European Parties, including the permits contained in those Agreements, may be maintained, in accordance with these provisions and subject to compliance with EU law.
