The Antitrust relaunches on Uber: "New regulation is needed"

The Antitrust asks Parliament to intervene to regulate non-scheduled forms of transport and to allow the reactivation of Uber, blocked by the sentence of the Court of Milan - "These apps represent a great advantage for the consumer".

The Antitrust relaunches on Uber: "New regulation is needed"

We need a new regulation for Uber and, more generally, for all Apps that allow access to urban transport services performed by non-professional drivers. To say it is theAntitrust, hoping that "the legislator will intervene with the utmost promptness in order to regulate - in the least invasive way possible - these new forms of non-scheduled transport, in order to allow an expansion of the methods of offering the service to the benefit of the consumer".

An intervention that becomes increasingly necessary also in Italy, after the development and diffusion of this kind of App has caused complex issues of interference with traditional services all over the world, opening the front of a sector that must be regulated, according to the Antitrust, in such a way as to guarantee competition, the road safety and the safety of passengers.

The reactivation of Uber, blocked by the Milan ruling precisely because of problems in guaranteeing safety, would lead to the definition of a "third gender" of drivers in addition to those of taxis and NCCs, to the benefit of consumers and urban traffic.

As for UberBlack and UberVan, the Antitrust reaffirmed "the legitimacy, in the absence of any regulatory framework, of the platform, since they are non-scheduled private transport services, as also recognized by the Council of State", judging, "de facto inapplicable ” the obligations established by the law in force on the acquisition of the service from the remittance and the return to the remittance at the end of the trip.
