Summary

Generated

Directive 2006/1/EC, in force since February 2006, lets hauliers established in one Member State use vehicles hired in another for intra-EU goods transport. Member States must permit this where the vehicle is registered in the other state, the contract covers only the vehicle without driver, and the user's own personnel drive it. Hire and employment documents must be carried on board.
