". The aim here is to simplify the rules governing the organisation of driving times and rest periods within the Union in order to increase road safety and improve working conditions for the people covered by the regulation. This proposal also aims to make the current rules compatible with the use of new digital recording equipment in order to improve compliance with the rules in force. Mr Markov’s report is along the same lines as the positive proposals by the European Commission: removing the possibility of dividing breaks, reducing exemptions, repealing measures concerning a minimum age for drivers, and introducing more stringent penalties for infringement of the rules. The rapporteur, however, has also succeeded in introducing amendments which I consider to be crucial. The report rejects provisions concerning the flexible week, increases controls and penalties in cases of non-compliance with the provisions of the regulation, and increases the participation of social partners. On the other hand, the rapporteur did not achieve a vote in favour of the amendment rightly proposing to reduce the working week to 45 hours. It was therefore tabled again in plenary and I naturally voted for it!"@en1
