		</div><p>Two Uber France executives could face jail in a case hinging on the taxi company’s banned low-cost service.</p>
<p>The trial of Thibaud Simphal and Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty comes a week after France’s top constitutional authority upheld a 2014 law outlawing the low-cost UberPop service, which allowed any driver to act as a taxi. Uber’s standard app-based service remains legal in France.</p>
<p>The two men face up to two years in prison and fines of €300,000.</p>
<p>Uber is under increasing pressure to work with sceptical European governments. It is banned entirely in Spain and Italy, but French politicians say they understand the demand for such services.</p>
<p>During protests in France this summer, taxi drivers infuriated by Uber competition smashed livery cars and set tyres on fire.</p>
