lpv:translated text	"Mr President, after more than 20 years, the legislation we have on social conditions in road transport is due an overhaul. In those 20 years, legislation has acquired a status in its own right as a basis for corporate transport patterns. That is why adverse effects in the event of changes, should, where possible, be restricted. During the negotiations, a good outcome hung in the balance for a long time, but the agreement we now have is, I think, a tenable one. The main elements of progress are, in my view, on the one hand, the fact that a number of elements have remained intact. I would particularly refer to the 11 hours of daily rest time and Directive 2002/15/EC that has been left out of the equation. We have also gained a definitive date for the introduction of the digital tachograph. This will remove much of the uncertainty about the use of this instrument and will hopefully help put more effective monitoring measures in place. The more stringent monitoring rules will contribute to this regulation’s effectiveness. An identical explanation and application of the rules across all the countries is essential for the internal market to work well. The status quo has been improved by, among other things, the adequate powers given to the inspectors and clear agreements on criteria for inspections and reports. In general, a stricter regime will be put in place, which, by definition, means that flexibility will suffer during implementation. I am convinced, however, that the present agreements will contribute in a positive way to a healthy and stable sector; after all, all parties involved stand to benefit from them. Finally, I am indebted to all those involved, particularly the rapporteur, for their commitment and perseverance."@en1
