"We Swedish Conservatives voted against the report on recording equipment in road transport today. Digital recording equipment has been mandatory in all new heavy goods vehicles since 2006, but this proposal calls for the legislation to be extended with the addition of provisions that are far too far-reaching in respect of the automatic recording of location data using a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). From the point of view of privacy, we would question the benefit of being able to pinpoint the location of drivers all over Europe. The proposal also contains provisions to the effect that undertakings in Europe should use the same type of technology. There are currently many undertakings that have come up with a good design of their own for recording equipment, and we are concerned about the EU chaining itself to any one particular type of technology, with the result that the product development carried out by the undertakings will have been costly work that was carried out needlessly. We are also opposed to the proposal to create a driving licence with an integral driver card chip for connecting to recording equipment. This would be a needlessly expensive and bureaucratic amendment."@en1
