Trouble in Germany and Poland

Uber has found some trouble in Germany:
Citing complex government regulations, Uber is speeding away from three German cities: Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, nearly nine months after German courts ruled that Uber drivers be required to obtain the same licenses required of commercial taxi drivers.
I am also hearing that Uber in Poland is not exactly legal. Uber as an app is legal but the drivers who use it are not and if caught they are on their own. (Uber says that they keep in touch with those caught by fiscal inspectors.) The penalties are substantial, around $3,000.

There is also talk that the whole EU may come up with a unified laws for ridesharing companies.
