"Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 lays down a common set of maximum daily and weekly driving times and minimum daily and weekly rest periods for drivers. These rules apply to all drivers engaged in the transport of goods with vehicles of 3.5 tonnes laden mass or more and for drivers engaged in the transport of passengers with vehicles for 9 or more persons. According to data provided by the Commission, on average, 9% of controlled vehicles are found to be in breach of the social rules. Roughly one quarter of them are found to be in breach of the Tachograph Regulation. On average, at any point in time, around 45 000 vehicles are in breach of EU tachograph rules. Firms which do not comply with the legislation can gain a sizeable competitive advantage as personnel costs represent 30 to 50% of total operating costs. Therefore, I support the position of the EP and the harmonisation of systems, and the introduction of smart tachographs in order to reduce the administrative burden and increase the efficiency of these systems."@en1
