Ensuring efficient international collective
passsenger transport - IRU proposal
UNECE OmniBUS Agreement
Societys interest to promote collective bus and coach transport safe,
green, affordable, efficient
> 3000 international regular lines in Europe and neighbouring countries
Bilateral agreements create a complicated framework & a burden for
authorities and operators
Non preferential treatment of coaches at borders & waiting times
a multilateral OmniBUS agreement will facilitate these servicesconsiderably:
by creating a harmonised and fairer legal framework, control documentsand, ultimately, enforcement procedures across the board
whilst at the same time reducing the administrative burden and costs forboth authorities and operators
