"As ever increasing amounts of goods are transported by road, it is important that regulations relating to the use of tachographs and the consequent data is updated. While I agree that Europe’s roads need to be safer and harmonisation is beneficial in this instance due to the cross-border nature of the industry, this report goes too far. My main concerns relate to the lengths this regulation goes to regarding enforcement, remote communication and retrofitting. Strengthening enforcement requirements should not undermine those Member States which already have stringent methods in place. The same also goes for the mandatory use of remote equipment, which is already used in the UK; it should be up to individual Member States to decide if this is a beneficial tool as their effectiveness is dependent upon the existing enforcement regime. Although the technical details of remote access are not yet clear, compulsory provision will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, a cost which would be passed on to industry. I cannot and will not give my support to anything that could damage British industry at a time when we should be fostering economic growth."@en1
