Another legal blow for Uberin Europe: A regional court in Frankfurt has banned the company from sending ride-hailing requests to rental car companies via its app — with the court finding multiple competition violations. Uber在欧洲受到又一次法律重击:法兰克福一家地方法院禁止Uber通过其app向出租车司机发送打车请求,因为法院发现该公司存在多项竞争违规行为。 The ruling, over Uber’s dispatching process, follows a legal challenge brought by a German taxi association. 在德国一出租车协会发起诉讼后,才做出了这一关于Uber调度流程的裁决。 In Germany, Uber’s ride-hailing business works exclusively with professional and licensed private-hire vehicle (PHV) companies — whose drivers and cars have the necessary licenses and permits to transport passengers. So the court ban essentially outlaws Uber’s current model in the country — unless it’s able to make changes to come into compliance. 在德国,Uber的打车业务只与专业且持有牌照的私人租车(PHV)公司合作。这些公司的司机和车辆都持有必须的牌照和搭载乘客许可。因此法院的禁令本质上是宣布Uber目前在德国的经营模式不合法,除非Uber能做出改变,遵守规定。 Uber can appeal the Frankfurt court’s judgement, but did not respond when asked whether it intends to do so. Uber可以上诉法兰克福法院的判决,但是没有回应是否会这样做。 |
