lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because the European Union’s main objective in the field of transport is to improve road safety and drivers’ working conditions, and to ensure fair competition among transport companies. However, the provisions of social road transport legislation adopted by the European Union, where the basis for control is simply the data on driving, working and rest times recorded by the tachograph, are not being implemented sufficiently. Two main problems have been identified – social rules are still breached too often and the tachograph system is not sufficiently efficient. According to data provided by the Commission, on average, 9% of controlled vehicles are found to be breaching the social rules. Roughly a quarter of them are found to be breaching the Tachograph Regulation in particular. Furthermore, the tachograph system has been designed and has functioned thus far primarily as a policing tool, but not as a labour saving device. Therefore, in order to better enforce social rules and reduce the administrative burden by making full use of new technologies and introducing a number of new regulatory measures, existing social legislation needs to be reviewed. However, none of the objectives of the proposal will be achieved if Member States do not commit themselves to improving the implementation of this regulation."@en1
