"Mr President, I would also like to congratulate the rapporteur, who has worked long and hard on what appears to be a technical issue, but one with so many implications.
I understand that the majority, if not all of us, have the desire and are doing whatever we can to support our small and medium-sized enterprises. We know, however, that at European level, particularly when it comes to road safety, we do not normally tend to counterbalance the tremendous costs involved with accidents, including those involving carpenters and plumbers who have 2.8-tonne vans. In other words, it is also necessary to counterbalance the costs of these accidents with the need for road safety, for small business owners and the self-employed.
I am therefore happy with the increased scope of vehicle checks, in this case, to those vehicles under 3.5 tonnes, the increase in regular checks — the compliance of which the Commission will have to monitor, given that the request is one thing and how it is implemented is another — and the request to include weight sensors proposed in Amendment 149 and Amendment 151.
My only disappointment has been that we have maintained 50 km as the exception for regular passenger bus services."@en1
