lpv:translated text	"Madam President, first of all my thanks to Mr Grosch for smoothing off the rough social edges of liberalisation in order to combine these two elements with each other once and for all. I think that the aim of the directive is very clear. We want to improve road safety. We also want to try to improve the environment on our roads by means of training, because if drivers know how that works, they will be able to influence it. Ultimately, of course, it is also a social package. I will not go into all the details. I think that it was a good thing that Mr Vermeer withdrew a couple of amendments, otherwise it may have resulted in the social dumping we have been talking about. There is, however, a catch, and I would like to speak to the Commissioner briefly about this. It is as follows. Over the past few days, the case of hauliers Willi Betz has shown us that there are problems with the CEMT licences. We all know that the driver’s certificate that Mr Van Dam worked on, and which is based on community licences, came into effect on 19 March. It is still possible to evade the CEMT licences, as Mr Grosch mentioned at the end of his speech. I would like to ask the Commissioner how we can get the CEMT to pay attention to the specialist training and follow-up training we are aiming towards for members from Member States and drivers working for companies registered in those Member States, otherwise we will be left with an unresolved problem. For this reason, I would like to ask you to give your attention to this. Secondly, I think that we are dealing with social matters here, and I will soon be raising the issue of whether we should really be dealing with this via the RETT or the EMPL. I will be coming back to this."@en1
