Law 29/2003 of 8 October on improving the conditions of competition and safety in the road transport market introduced major amendments to the text of Law 16/1987 of 30 July 1987 on the Management of Land Transport. As a result, a parallel amendment of the Regulation, approved by Royal Decree 1211/1990 of 28 September 1990, hereinafter 'ROTT', for which the second of the abovementioned laws is developed, is necessary in order to accommodate the content of the the one from this one. Taking into account, moreover, the date on which the ROTT was approved, it seemed appropriate not to take advantage of the opportunity referred to by the ROTT to carry out a thorough review of its content which would allow its precepts to be changes since then in the transport market. Reasonably, this amendment has been presided over by the guidelines set out in the Strategic Plan for the Transport of Goods by Road (PETRA) and the Plan of Action Lines for Transport in Bus (PLATA), respectively. adopted in June 2001 and in May 2002, with the general consensus of all the business and social sectors involved in one and other transport markets. Following these guidelines, the purpose of this amendment is to achieve a number of objectives of a general nature. On the one hand, it is intended to facilitate and encourage competition through an improvement in the business structure, eliminating or reducing all those regulatory requirements which, without being essential for proper market management, They were hindered by this. It is also intended to improve conditions of competition by strengthening and equating market access conditions. At the same time, changes are being made to improve the competitiveness of businesses by extending the scope of economic and managerial autonomy, by deepening the concept of the exploitation of the services provided to them. risk and venture. It is worth noting, as more significant aspects of the modification carried out, the following:

In the sociolaboral field, self-employed drivers extend the protections that, in the area of safety and health at work and the prevention of occupational risks, result, if necessary, from the application to the drivers. (a) to carry out loading and unloading operations of vehicles.

In relation to the Arbitration Boards of Transportation, small procedural changes are introduced, advised by the experience accumulated during years of operation of the Boards, in order to increase their effectiveness. The National Council of Land Transports is a place for representations of persons with reduced mobility and of railway undertakings other than RENFE and FEVE which may exist in the future. With regard to the conditions for access to the transport market, the requirement to obtain authorisation for transport is exempted from an obligation to obtain transport authorization, and the level of requirements for the good repute of employers is raised. introduce amendments which will make it possible for the Minister to promote criteria to increase the requirements of vocational training. With regard to the economic and financial system of the carriers, the concept of self-management is defined, stating their identification with the hiring and invoicing of the transport in its own name and its realization through of the business organisation itself. In relation to the regular transport of permanent and general travellers, it is intended to highlight the contractual aspects of the concession agreement, the conditions of which are born with a vocation to stay for the duration of the contract. (a) which does not preclude the fact that certain conditions for the provision of services are, to the extent compatible, flexible. Criteria are also set out to ensure the maintenance of the concessional network and its smooth operation when there is no concession. In particular, the processing of concession projects is being processed; new requirements are introduced for competitions, designed to avoid distortions of competition; the importance of competition is increased; formalisation of the concessional contract as an enabling title for the performance of the services and origin and law of the provision of services; the exceptionality of the modification of the contractual conditions is reinforced; the balance of the economic assumptions considered to be basic in the award of the concession in terms of the existing relationship between operating and tariff costs; the concessionaire's decision-making capacity is increased in the management aspects which do not affect the maintenance of the contractual conditions; maintenance of the balance in the dealer/user relationship, so that it can be established by the Administration formulas through which the first compense the second when it provides a service of inferior quality; they are redefined with greater precision the conditions of collaboration in the provision of the services of concessions In addition, the causes and consequences of the extinction of concessions are further developed. In line with the above, the arrangements for the provision of the regular services of passengers for special use and for general use are dislinked, thereby reinforcing the concept of economic and management autonomy and business risk management. and ventura of the holder of the concession or authorization. As far as discretionary transport is concerned, the concept of company referred to the holder of the authorizations is reinforced; the scope of national action of all the authorizations is universalized, and those changes that will allow for the In the case of road haulage legislation, all the questions relating to the qualification of the staff working in the transport undertakings, the strengthening and the equalling of the conditions of access to the market for all those who were not previously hauliers and to energize the management of fleets, although supporting rules to ensure the financial capacity of businesses throughout their lives and respect for progressive environmental criteria. In relation to the complementary private transport, it is possible to approximate the conditions required for the realization of this kind of transport with those required for the realization of public transport, in order to facilitate the outsourcing of fleets dedicated to complementary private transport. With regard to the activity of leasing vehicles, the conditions for the use of vehicles leased without drivers for the performance of public and private transport complementary and the required requirements are reinforced. for the access to the market and the functioning of the leasing companies of vehicles with driver. In relation to the typical infrastructure of road transport, a classification of stations and transport centres is promoted, so that it can be used in the whole of the national territory. Finally, in the area of inspection and sanctions, apart from adjusting the content of the regulation to the amendments introduced by Law 29/2003, the procedures to be followed in the performance of actions are developed more precisely. In order to increase the legal certainty of both the managed and the Land Transport Inspectorate, the inspection and enforcement of sanctions are in order. In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Public Works, with the prior approval of the Minister of Public Administrations, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting of the day 27 October 2006,
