National Police registers taxi drivers for EU-LAC Summit

(LIP-do) -- All companies providing taxi services near the venues of the V Summit of Heads of State and Government of the European Union, Latin America, and the Caribbean (EU-LAC), have to be registered with the local police station. General of the Peruvian National Police (PNP), Ricardo Benavides, head of APEC General Command, said today that vehicles’ registration and authorization are absolutely necessary for providing taxi services to delegation visitors as well as to foreign journalists who will arrive to Lima. He said allowing the National Police to register taxi drivers will enhance the safety of the riding public by ensuring that only legitimate, licensed companies transport consumers to their desired destinations. "Every private or public company whose employees or vehicles need to enter the restricted area, must be registered with the local police station", said General Benavides. He added that those citizens registered to transit near the Summit's venues will have to carry their national identification document (DNI). “We will not conduct raids to catch those without IDs, but we will forbid them from entering the area”, emphasized Benavides.
