1173In so far as, by its single plea, Hungary alleges inconsistency between the respective scope of Directive 96/71 and Directive 2020/1057, it should be noted that, in any event, there is no such inconsistency, irrespective of whether it would be sufficient to justify the annulment of Article 1 of the latter directive. In the first place, the Court has already held that Directive 96/71 applies to the transnational provision of services in the road transport sector (see, to that effect, judgments of 1 December 2020, Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging, C‑815/18, EU:C:2020:976, paragraphs 33 to 41, and of 8 July 2021, Rapidsped, C‑428/19, EU:C:2021:548, paragraphs 34 to 36). It follows that drivers engaged in international road transport are likely to fall within the scope of Directive 96/71 on the basis of the provisions of that directive and not, as Hungary wrongly seems to suggest, because of the adoption of Directive 2020/1057.
