lpv:spoken text	"I abstained on the final vote of the report as I believed that the report as adopted did not strike a good balance between road safety and reducing administrative burdens on small and medium enterprises. Lib Dems are leading the fight to improve road safety across Europe, but we also want to ensure that the rules for transport safety are proportionate and sensible. I particularly strongly opposed one amendment from the Greens which would have forced all vehicles over 1.5 tonnes used for carrying goods to install digital tachographs. This amendment was happily defeated but an amendment from the S&D Group succeeded in including vehicles over 2.8 tonnes rather than the current 3.5 tonnes in the regulation; this will mean a potentially bigger administrative burden for many larger vans."@en1
