On the award of public procurement contracts to haulage companies 

The petitioner objects to the fact that more and more freight transport contracts in Germany are being given to companies based abroad, for reasons of cost. A lot of German haulage companies have had to close because of a lack of contracts. The petitioner wants to see a guarantee that contracts for haulage jobs within Germany are fulfilled by companies based in Germany. In addition, he wants to see haulage jobs within Germany taxed wholly in Germany. And drivers for haulage jobs completed within Germany should without exception be paid at least the minimum wage.
