PHILIPSBURG:— Minister of TEATT Ludmilla de Weever on December 15th, 2020 has informed the President of the Airport Taxi Association (ATA) that help taxi drivers are allowed to enter French St. Martin to execute their duties.
While the Minister gave the clearance to ATA this decision is in conflict with the help drivers permit issued by the said Ministry. Based on protests from the French authorities persons that are not Dutch citizens but have obtained a working and residency permit cannot provide bus and taxi services on the French side since they obtained such permits to work on the Dutch side of the island.
The help driver permits clearly indicates that they are not authorized to execute bus and taxi services in the French territory.
