Mayors denounce ‘strangulation contracts’ with private firm TAAS regarding section checks: “The monopoly in this sector is too big”

“I am pleased that the revenue model for road safety is now under discussion. I have been fighting for years against the stranglehold contract that we have concluded with the private company TAAS, we want to cancel that contract and carry out the route checks in Londerzeel ourselves.” Mayor Nadia Sminate (N-VA) is speaking. But how much money is left if a municipality takes over route inspections itself? Also less than you think, say four mayors who made the bill.
