lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I wish to begin by apologising to the House for the considerable embarrassment of my countryman, Mr Nattrass, who clearly lacks the intellectual capacity to discuss the correct report. He obviously thought we were talking about the Eurovignette. It is very embarrassing. We know UKIP is 20 years out of date, and it shows in this Chamber. Firstly, tiredness kills. If we look at the demands on drivers these days with congestion and the just-in-time culture, we realise what strain there is on drivers. That is why this measure is a very important step forward for road safety. Key to it are digital tachographs, and key to the success of that was having a much more realistic deadline than the original one. That allows us to have proper monitoring, and this is a much simpler regulation than previous ones. That has to be the key to success. I am delighted that Parliament has been able to increase the number of checks, but it is all about monitoring, implementation and enforcement. We must ensure that all Member States carry out those checks and we need coordination between the enforcement authorities in all Member States. I hope the Commission will be vigorous in monitoring progress there. Member States could do more than simply apply laws. There are insufficient rest areas for drivers; there are insufficient incentives for training. I compliment the work done by Scania through its Driver of the Year competition to encourage training. Working time is clearly part and parcel of this process and needs to be monitored. I am horrified to learn that ten Member States have not yet implemented that. We hope the Commission will take greater action. Let us emphasise constantly the importance of consistent implementation. It is the Commission’s job to ensure that Member States are doing their job."@en1
