OREANDA-NEWS. September 24, 2015. The French Supreme Court ruling, that has confirmed lower court decisions on the illegality of UberPop services in France, is welcomed by IRU. The verdict supports IRU’s call for a level competitive playing field within the taxi market, with all service providers playing by the same rules. Similar court cases are pending in other European countries.

Oleg Kamberski, IRU’s lead on passenger transport issues, commented, “The French verdict is welcome news for fair competition in Europe’s taxi market. I expect the rest of Europe to follow the French example. Our Global Taxi Network only works with high quality taxi service providers that adhere to the regulations in force.”
