All proposals for parliamentary resolutions by Citizens' proposals

In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Citizens' proposal – introduced in the Danish Parliament by 15 members from 15 parties and groups
  • What is proposed: The proposal sets out that the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) should decide five principles for private parking companies: a state licence, shared responsibility for owners of parking facilities, a requirement to follow the Danish Road Traffic Act, fixed case-handling deadlines and a ceiling on private parking fees.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal concerns private parking companies, owners of parking facilities and members of the public who receive a private parking fee.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.

What the proposal says:

  • Private parking companies may only operate with a state licence, which is renewed every year.
  • Landowners and owners of parking facilities get a supervisory duty and shared responsibility for the parking control they agree to.
  • Parking control must follow the Danish Road Traffic Act, and loading and unloading must not be treated as parking.
  • Complaints about private parking fees and charges must be handled within fixed, short deadlines, and a principled ceiling for private parking fees is to be set.

Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)

Forslaget er et borgerforslag, der vil styrke reguleringen af private park­er­ings­sel­skaber. Det foreslås, at park­er­ings­sel­skaberne kun må drive parkeringskontrol med en statslig licens, at ejere af parkeringsarealer får medansvar for kontrollen, og at reglerne skal følge færdselsloven. Derudover foreslås faste frister for behandling af klager og et loft over størrelsen af private kontrolafgifter. Formålet er at styrke borgernes retssikkerhed og skabe mere ensartede regler på område.
