As a matter of interest whats the definition.
You only need a operators license to carry goods or burden connected with any trade or buisness when the plate weight is more than 3.5tons. Including renting in.
For example you can run a 7.5ton horse box without one. But you are still the operator of that vehicle.
And Article 257 of the ANO defines operator. But then doesn't define managment but does have a clause for 14 days hire.
Mind you there is nothing stopping them slipping in the definition which they want on the sly at some point in the future. As they don't need to redo everything to clarify a defintion, which could be what the plan is.
