UberPop can be banned in France

14 French taxi companies require an ultimatum to cease the activities of Uber in France. They appealed to the government of the country with a request to fulfill their requirement within 15 days. If this is ignored, the taxi drivers promise to take action, the newspaper Kommersant reports .

Taxi teams consider the use of the UberPop service unacceptable. Its essence is that customers of the online service have the opportunity to use the services of non-professional drivers. The services of licensed taxi drivers are more expensive.

According to Didier Ogrell, President of the National Taxi Federation, in case of non-compliance with their requirements, taxi drivers will no longer pay taxes and transfer insurance premiums.

Complaints against Uber began in October last year. Using drivers without a proper license was illegal. However, the company appealed this decision. In late November, Uber drivers began to stop on the roads. And then they demanded that the company pay the maximum possible fine of 100,000 euros.

The Court of Appeal of Paris has not yet decided on this issue. About the possible wording of the legitimacy of the ban on the activities of Uber, a request was sent to the Court of Cassation. The consideration of the case is postponed until October 2015.

"Megamind" already wrote that UberPop has already been banned in the Netherlands, in Germany and in some other countries. The confrontation between the taxi drivers and Uber turned into a large number of protests and even assault. Recently similar incidents in Brussels and Amsterdam.
