Article 6U.K.Nature of authorisation
1.Authorisations shall be issued in the name of the carrier and shall be non-transferable. However, a carrier who has received an authorisation may, with the consent of the competent authority of the Member State in whose territory the point of departure is situated, hereinafter referred to as the ‘authorising authority’, operate the service through a subcontractor. In this case, the name of the subcontractor and its role shall be indicated in the authorisation. The subcontractor shall satisfy the conditions laid down in Article 3(1). For the purposes of this paragraph, the point of departure shall mean ‘one of the termini of the service’.
In the case of undertakings associated for the purpose of operating a regular service, the authorisation shall be issued in the names of all the undertakings and shall state the names of all the operators. It shall be given to the undertaking that manages the operation and copies shall be given to the other undertakings.
2.The period of validity of an authorisation shall not exceed 5 years. It may be set at less either at the request of the applicant or by mutual consent of the competent authorities of the Member States on whose territory passengers are picked up or set down.
3.Authorisations shall specify the following:
(a)the type of service;
(b)the route of the service, giving in particular the point of departure and the point of arrival;
(c)the period of validity of the authorisation;
(d)the stops and the timetable.
4.The Commission shall establish the format of the authorisations. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 26(2).
5.Authorisations shall entitle their holder(s) to operate regular services in the territories of all Member States over which the routes of the service pass.
6.The operator of a regular service may use additional vehicles to deal with temporary and exceptional situations. Such additional vehicles may be used only under the same conditions as set out in the authorisation referred to in paragraph 3.
In this case, the carrier shall ensure that the following documents are carried on the vehicle:
(a)a copy of the authorisation of the regular service;
(b)a copy of the contract between the operator of the regular service and the undertaking providing the additional vehicles or an equivalent document;
(c)a certified true copy of the Community licence issued to the operator providing the additional vehicles for the service.
