The Bulgarian cabinet supports the protest of the transport sector against the Mobility Package discussed in the EU, which envisages new requirements for the transport companies, Bulgaria’s Minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications Ivaylo Moscovski said. According to the Mobility Package, supported by big European countries such as France, Germany, Austria and Italy, the TIR drivers from the Eastern European countries should receive per diems at the same size as their colleagues from Western Europe and a mandatory 45-hour weekly rest at a hotel. The problem is that carriers from Eastern Europe cannot bear such costs and many of them will go bankrupt, members of the Bulgarian transport sector warn.
