(Belga) The Internal Affairs Committee of the Brussels Parliament adopted on Friday, after midnight, the proposed transitional ordinance which should allow LVC drivers faced with the fait accompli of the closure of the Uber platform to resume work at short notice. due date. The majority members voted in favor. In the opposition, MR, cdH and N-VA voted against; the PTB abstained.
The proposed ordinance has been amended using the content of the agreement reached by the Brussels government on Thursday. This relates to a solution valid until July 22 and which is subject to several conditions. The MR and the cdH, which had joined several formations of the majority at the time of the tabling of the initial plaster proposal, distanced themselves from the formula adopted by the majority, and integrating the agreement of the government. Like Cieltje Vanachter (N-VA), David Weytsman (MR) and Christophe De Beukelaer (cdH) criticized the attitude of the Vervoort government which, for years, has not made any progress in the taxis file, according to them. in Brussels. The PTB did not openly support the proposal either, but it held a speech radically opposed to that of the MR and the cdH. For the far-left formation, the signatories of the first proposal danced like Uber sings in contempt of the drivers. The Brussels government’s solution did not significantly push back the multinationals. The representatives of the majority groups, for their part, welcomed the solution adopted by the government. For Marc Loewenstein (Défi), first signatory of the initial adhesive plaster proposal, the amended text has been improved both by taking into account the remarks of the Council of State and the work of the government. “Relieved to see the solution devised by Uber discarded”, Jamal Ikazban (PS) announced that he would co-sign the proposed amended ordinance, just like Hicham Talhi (Ecolo).
