Europe has built one of the worlds most ambitious digital regulatory frameworks. Yet the interaction of overlapping instruments pursuing similar objectivessafety, fairness, and transparencybut through different processes and reporting requirements can result is legal uncertainty, administrative duplication, and fragmented national implementation. Simplification would not mean deregulation.

What they argued
Shared mobility services such as ride-hailing and car-sharing offer practical, flexible alternatives to private car ownership. Ride-hailing connects passengers with professional drivers via digital platforms, while car-sharing allows users to access vehicles on demand.
PSR art 2(2)(b) proposes to narrow down commercial agent exemption. As a result many marketplaces would have to obtain a payment services license (or arrange sellers to hand payments over to licensed providers), which is likely to reduce availability of digital payment methods for both buyers and sellers. Related payments' specific risk is low and not worth regulatory resources.
Our core recommendation is to foster an efficient Single Market, encourage cross-border mobility, and align with environmental goals. The EU should harmonise the VAT treatment of all international passenger transport.
Europes postal framework needs to be modernised, not expanded. The upcoming EU Delivery Act should focus on maintaining universal access and ensuring fair competition in the postal sector, without extending its scope to activities that are fundamentally different. A broad revision could unintentionally include on-demand, app-based delivery services that operate under different models, and regulatory frameworks.

Please find below and attached, feedback from Bolt, the leading European on-demand mobility platform. The initial goal of the Commission was to improve social dialogue between platforms and platform workers. This ambition is legitimate and supported by Bolt.
