On 31 May 2017, the European Commission put forward a first wave of mobility initiatives as part of a wide-ranging Mobility Package. Published under the heading 'Europe on the Move', the set of initiatives included 8 legislative proposals aiming, in the Commission's words, at improving the functioning of the road haulage market; enhancing the employment and social conditions of workers; and promoting smart road-charging in Europe. 

On 8 November 2017, the European Commission published a second wave of Mobiliy Package initiatives under the heading 'Clean Mobility Package', including proposals for the revision of the Combined Transport Directive and for a Regulation on common rules for access to the international market for coach and bus services.
