What does a haulier need in order to operate out of Bulgaria?
Authorisation to pursue the occupation of road transport operator, and on top of that the Community licence. Four requirements must be met continuously, not merely on the day of application: an effective and stable establishment, good repute, financial standing and professional competence, Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009. Capital and reserves of 9,000 euros must be evidenced for the first vehicle and 5,000 euros for each further vehicle above 3.5 tonnes. Professional competence is embodied by a transport manager who effectively and continuously manages the transport activities. The establishment requires premises holding the originals of the company records, registration in the commercial register and a valid VAT number.
