"The European Union has laid down social legislation in the field of road transport to improve road safety and drivers’ working conditions, and to ensure fair competition among transport companies. The regulation lays down maximum daily and weekly driving times and minimum daily and weekly rest periods for drivers. The EU has also developed a comprehensive policy on inspecting and checking compliance with social road transport legislation. This policy relies on two main pillars – one is a directive laying down minimum levels of roadside checks and checks at the premises of undertakings to be carried out by Member States, and the second is the Tachograph Regulation.
Under the current system, the Commission found two issues that need to be addressed at EU level – social rules are too often breached and the tachograph system is not sufficiently efficient. Last July, the European Commission presented a proposal for a revision of the Tachograph Regulation; the aim of the revision is to make fraud more difficult, to better enforce social rules and to reduce the administrative burden by making full use of new technologies and introducing a number of new regulatory measures. I firmly believe that none of the objectives of this proposal will be easy to meet if the Member States fail to undertake to improve the enforcement of this regulation, which needs to be amended and supplemented accordingly."@en1
