L 249, 31.07.2020) deals with the posting of drivers in the road transport sector, establishing specific rules without formally amending Directive 96\/71.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see the text of the Directive: <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/FR\/TXT\/?qid=1598174055846&amp;uri=CELEX:32020L1057\">https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/FR\/TXT\/?qid=1598174055846&amp;uri=CELEX:32020L1057<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerned to ensure proper application of the rules on posting, particularly in case of &#8220;letter-box&#8221; companies (par. 4), the European legislator seeks to strike a balance between the social protection of drivers and the freedom to provide services. The sector&#8217;s &#8220;extreme mobility&#8221; then prompts him to restrict the concept of posting, since many journeys are not of long duration. He thus ensures that &#8220;balanced&#8221; rules are based on the existence of &#8220;a sufficient link between the driver and the service provided in the territory of a host Member State&#8221;: he then distinguishes between different types of operations according to the &#8220;degree of connection with the territory of the host Member State&#8221; (par. 9). In particular, he excludes &#8220;bilateral operations from or to the Member State of establishment&#8221; on the grounds that &#8220;the nature of the service is closely linked&#8221; to that State (par. 10). Indeed, he intends to avoid the application of the working conditions of the host State, deemed &#8220;disproportionate to the freedom to provide cross-border road transport services&#8221; (<em>loc. cit<\/em>.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regard to operations constituting a posting within the meaning of Directive 96\/71, the legislator recalls the obligation of the Member States to ensure the applicability of the provisions referred to in Article 3, and to make them accessible in a transparent manner. Article 1 of Directive 2020\/157 lays down these specific rules. In addition to a definition of the operations excluded from the concept of posting (\u00a7 1 to 8), it limits the obligations that the State may impose on the operator by virtue of the implementing Directive 2014\/67, allowing in particular the obligation of a &#8220;posting declaration&#8221; on the basis of a single form on the interface connected to the Internal Market Information System (\u2018IMI\u2019) (regl. 1024\/2012), a document of which the driver must carry a copy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M.
