COMMISSION OPINION of 4 February 1974 transmitted to the Government of Ireland concerning the Irish Draft European Communities (International Carriage of Passengers) Regulations, 1973 (74/164/EEC)

Under cover of letter dated 31 August 1973 the Permanent Representation of Ireland sent the Commission a copy of draft regulations which the Irish Government plans to adopt to implement the following Regulations: - Council Regulation No 117/66/EEC (1) of 28 July 1966 on the introduction of common rules for the international carriage of passengers by coach and bus;

- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1016/68 (2) of 9 July 1968 prescribing the model control documents referred to in Articles 6 and 9 of Council Regulation No 117/66/EEC;

- Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/72 (3) of 28 February 1972 on the introduction of common rules for shuttle services by coach and bus between Member States;

- Council Regulation (EEC) No 517/72 (4) of 28 February 1972 on the introduction of common rules for regular and special regular services by coach and bus between Member States.

This communication represents consultation of the Commission as required by - Article 10 of Regulation No 117/66/EEC,

- Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1016/68,

- Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/72,

- Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 517/72.

The Irish Government's communication concerning Regulation (EEC) No 1172/72 (5) is to be regarded as satisfying the terms of Article 6 of the Regulation, which requires that the Commission be informed of the provisions adopted to implement it.

The Commission regrets that the Irish Government did not keep to the deadline by which the measures to implement Regulation (EEC) Nos 516/72 and 517/72 should have been adopted.

As regards the provisions of the Irish draft regulations, the Commission notes that they satisfy the obligations imposed on the Member States under the abovementioned Community Regulations.
