THE COMMUNITY LICENCE: AN OPEN DOOR TO INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Transports Porqueres: Promoting barrier-free mobility to provide you with quality road transport.

The borders within the European Union (EU) have become increasingly permeable in terms of trade and transport. For transport companies seeking to expand their operations beyond national boundaries, the Community License is an indispensable document.

At Transports Porqueres, we specialize in the road transport of bulk and/or palletized goods within the national territory and throughout the European Union. Additionally, we have a wide fleet of moving floors, as well as bathtubs, tipping trailers, tankers, and tauliners. That is why we consider all necessary permits to drive in full compliance. Below, we introduce one of the permits required for transport outside the national territory:

What is the Community License? 

The Community License is a permit that allows transport companies to conduct international operations between EU member countries, as well as certain associated countries. This document simplifies and unifies regulations, enabling companies to operate with greater flexibility and less bureaucracy.

Requirements to obtain it:

1. Be established in a Member State: The applicant company must have its headquarters and main operations center in one of the EU Member States.
2. Reputation: The company must not have committed serious offenses, especially in relation to transport, in recent years.
3. Financial capacity: It must be proven that the company has the necessary financial solvency for its operations, ensuring the safety and continuity of the service.
4. Professional competence: At least one person in the company must have a professional certification demonstrating knowledge in the management of transport companies.

Benefits of the Community License: 

• Extended access: It allows companies to operate in all EU Member States, significantly expanding business opportunities. 

• Administrative simplification: Being a unified document, it reduces the need to obtain individual permits for each country, saving time and resources. 

• Increased competitiveness: Companies with a Community License can offer more extensive and versatile services, giving them a competitive advantage in the market.

Is it really necessary? 

Although a company can operate within its country without this license, any aspiration to expand internationally within the EU will require the Community License. Sanctions for operating internationally without this permit can be significant, including fines and operational restrictions.

At Transports Porqueres, we not only recognize the importance of the Community License but live and operate under the standards of excellence it represents. This license symbolizes our dedication to professionalism and the great ability to connect goods to the heart of Europe. With daily routes to Spain, France, and regular trips to Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, and more, we guarantee efficient and safe delivery, whether with bulk goods or palletized loads.

Thanks to our location close to the border, we are in a unique position to facilitate fast and effective connections throughout Europe. This geographical advantage allows us to be more agile and respond to our customers' needs with precision and punctuality. Because beyond mere transport, we offer trust, experience, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.
