Descripció
Sumari:In its two decisions on the activity of the company Uber in Spain and France, the CJEU described the company’s activity as a transport service, subject to the general regime of the Directive on services in the internal market and subject to shared competence between the Member States and the Union. Member States are therefore authorised to regulate this activity by making it subject to authorisation or even by prohibiting it. In our opinion, the functional analysis of Uber’s activity carried out by the CJEU should inspire the reasoning of the national courts, which will be called upon to examine the crucial question in labour law of the nature of the legal relations between Uber and his drivers (employees or independent contractors).
