Are the provisions of Directive 98/34/EC (1) (Article 1(2)), as amended by Directive 98/48/EC, (2) and of Directive 2000/31/EC (3) (Article 2(a)), which state that an Information Society service is a ‘service. provided for remuneration, at a distance, by electronic means and at the individual request of a recipient of services’, to be interpreted as meaning that an activity such as that carried on by Star Taxi App SRL (namely a service consisting in putting taxi passengers directly in touch, via an electronic application, with taxi drivers) must be regarded specifically as an Information Society and collaborative economy service (bearing in mind that Star Taxi App SRL does not fulfil the criteria for being a transport undertaking considered by the Court of Justice of the European Union in paragraph 39 of its judgment in Case C-434/15 with reference to Uber)?

2.

In the event that [the application operated by] Star Taxi App SRL is to be regarded as an Information Society service, do the provisions of Article 4 of Directive 2000/31/EC, of Articles 9, 10 and 16 of Directive 2006/123/EC (4) and of Article 56 TFEU entail the application of the principle of the freedom to provide services to the activity carried on by Star Taxi App SRL? If the answer to that question is in the affirmative, do those provisions preclude rules such as those set out in Articles I, II, III, IV and V of Hotărârea Consiliului General al Municipiului București nr. 626/19.12.2017 (Decision No 626 of the General Council of the Municipality of Bucharest of 19 December 2017) (‘CGMB Decision No 626/2017’) amending and supplementing CGMB Decision No 178/2008 approving the framework regulation for the organisation and operation of local public taxi services, the regulations governing that service and the concession agreement for the delegated management of that service?

3.

In the event that Directive 2000/31/EC applies to the service provided by Star Taxi App SRL, are restrictions imposed by a Member State on the freedom to provide Information Society services which make the provision of such services conditional on the possession of an authorisation or licence valid measures derogating from Article 3(2) of Directive 2000/31/EC in accordance with Article 3(4) of that directive?

4.

Do the provisions of Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2015/1535 (5) preclude the adoption, without first notifying the European Commission, of regulations such as those set out in Articles I, II, III, IV and V of CGMB Decision No 626/2017 amending and supplementing CGMB Decision No 178/2008 approving the framework regulation for the organisation and operation of local public taxi services, the regulations governing that service and the concession agreement for the delegated management of that service?
