Infringement case against Germany regarding the application of the minimum wage act to the transport sector.
On the 19.05.2015 Commission sent a Letter of Formal Notice to Germany. It starts the infringement procedure.
According to the Commission, the application of some German measures to transit and other international transport operations can have a negative influence on the functioning of the internal market.
Now the German government has two months to respond to the Commission’s arguments.
