The State Cable Car Act of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania regulates, among other things, the operating license for and supervision of cable cars . The law serves to implement Directive 2000/9 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of March 20, 2000 on cable cars for passenger transport ( OJ EC No. L 106, p. 21).
meaning
The Landesseilbahngesetz concerns the funicular railways , railways and aerial cableways that do not exist in this country .
The law is often used as an example of EU bureaucracy. There are currently no cable cars for passenger transport in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The highest elevation in the state is the Helpter Mountains at 179 meters above sea level. The gondola lift at the International Horticultural Exhibition 2003 was dismantled after the exhibition ended - before the State Cable Car Act came into force. Nevertheless, such a law had to be passed in all member states of the European Union according to the European Directive 2000/9 / EC . The deadline for this already expired in 2002. In Germany, the directive was initially implemented into national law in only a few countries, which is why the European Commission initiated infringement proceedings against Germany in 2003 . In this process, a fine of up to 791,293 euros per day could have been imposed on the Federal Republic. This would have demanded the fine from those countries that had not yet implemented the directive.
The infringement proceedings against Germany came to an end in 2005 because all the federal states had passed cable car laws by then. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was thus not burdened with a fine.
