"Mr President, the supplementary requirements for the digital tachograph in goods vehicles have my support, as they are a good thing for road safety in Europe.
However, if we really want to do something for road safety in road freight transport, we need to come up with a harmonised, article-by-article interpretation of the rules on driving times and rest periods. At the moment, many drivers still get behind the wheel in a stressed state due to the fact that they can still be fined for violations up to 28 days previous. That is bad for road safety. The Commissioner therefore needs to tackle that point, above all.
Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism rightly rejected the proposal to merge driver card and driving licence. That is an unnecessary violation of privacy and the withdrawal of the card would mean that the driver would be punished not just professionally, but also privately. We cannot allow that; it is not the aim here.
For the rest, Mr President, I believe that the Ecocombi should also be introduced on a cross-border basis. Commissioner Kallas, you have my support."@en1
