ABSTRACT

This conference presents the intermediate results of the SENSE Project, funded by the EU Commission under the Erasmus+ scheme, which focuses on applicable labour and social security law in transnational road transport.

The EU transport sector is genuinely transnational in nature. It involves not only many stakeholders, but also many different countries, each having its own economic, social, and legal system. International road transport

companies are free to establish wherever they like and to provide their services throughout the EU/EEA. When made on a large scale, the choice of international road transport companies can have significant legal consequences for countries, companies, employees, and other stakeholders involved.

Researchers, students, and relevant stakeholders will discuss the limits of EU freedoms in light of other interests as well as the opportunity for fundamental change in the EU existing regulatory framework.
