Uber dealt blow by EU court ruling that it is transport service

Luxembourg: Ride-hailing app Uber provides a transport service and can be regulated like traditional taxis, the European Union`s top court said on Wednesday in a landmark ruling that will determine the rules Uber and peers have to respect in Europe.

"The service provided by Uber connecting individuals with non-professional drivers is covered by services in the field of transport," the European Court of Justice said.

"Member states can therefore regulate the conditions for providing that service," it said.
