(4) It is necessaryCurrent EU social legislation in the road transport sector has fostered social dumping, unregulated relocation and, in general, the proliferation of illicit practices causing unfair competition in this sector, such as the misuse of cabotage arrangements or letterbox companies. Member States must therefore be able to take action to ensure that road transport operators established in a Member Statetheir territory have a real and continuous presence in that Member Statthere and conduct their business from there.
