Road transport operator is a domestic carrier operating road transport for foreign purposes.

(5) National road transport is a transport operation where the point of departure, the point of destination and the whole road lies within the territory of one State. Transport shall also be considered as national road transport where the starting point and the destination point are situated in the territory of one Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State of the Agreement on the European Economic Area or of the Swiss Confederation (hereinafter referred to as "the Member State '), but part of the journey takes place in the territory of another Member State, unless there is a stop for the arrival or exit of passengers or the loading or unloading of animals or goods in the territory of another Member State.
