MADRID (Reuters) -The Spanish government is set to impose new restrictions on drivers working with ride-hailing apps such as Uber after the European Union's top court overturned a set of local curbs in Barcelona, a draft document seen by Reuters showed.
The cabinet could approve the decree as early as on Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the matter, allowing regional authorities to force drivers of private cars for hire to respect additional criteria to be able to operate in specific areas.
