  • Une nouvelle loi sur le transport routier est publiée au Monitor
    La nouvelle loi du 3 mai 1999 relative au transport de choses par route, loi qui remplace celle du 1er août 1960 qui organisait ce mode de transport depuis près de 40 ans, va-t-elle bouleverser le paysage juridique belge? Fondamentalement, non. Dans une première partie, il s'agit d'aligner la législation belge d'accès à la profession et au marché de transporteur routier sur la réglementation européenne; il faudra attendre les arrêtés d'application pour que la loi entre en vigueur et que les détails soient connus; ce sera sans doute pour la fin de l'année. La seconde partie entrera en vigueur le 10 juillet prochain; elle concerne la coresponsabilité et le contrat de transport national.
