"I was extremely pleased to vote for the legislation concerning working conditions of drivers engaged in road transport activities. I am delighted that drivers are granted guaranteed rest periods, and I believe that checking their implementation is also important. However, I must emphasise that the increase in the volume of road transport contradicts the fundamental principle of sustainable development. Wasteful energy consumption, severe air pollution and the deterioration of roads and the environment are all direct consequences of increasing lorry traffic. Therefore, the European Union should endeavour to develop alternative methods of transportation. Apart from the improvement of the working conditions of drivers, we should also address the situation of those living in towns and villages where lorries are rattling through, day and night."@en1
