1. Balancing Made in EU with Market Readiness Binding Buy European clauses for vehicles risk increasing costs and reducing competition, particularly in markets with limited EU manufacturing capacity. While we acknowledge the shifting economic landscape, industrial policy must not compromise the green transition or burden SMEs.

What they argued
The current VAT treatment of passenger transport by coach varies significantly across EU member states. While some apply standard rates, others offer reduced or zero rates. This fragmented approach imposes a disproportionate administrative burden on the sectorparticularly for operators active in multiple countries.
FBAA supports the objective of enabling smart tachographs to identify occasional passenger services and apply the specific driving and rest-time rules introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/1258. Following an initial assessment with bus and coach operators, we ask the Commission to clarify the following legal and operational points.
