lpv:translated text	"With its regulation, the European Union has set maximum driving periods for a 24-hour period and for a week and minimum periods of rest for a 24-hour period and for a week. These rules apply to all drivers who transport goods using vehicles with a laden weight of over 3.5 tonnes, and also to drivers who transport passengers in vehicles with 9 or more seats. In addition, directives to regulate the inspection to be performed by Member States and the use of analogue and digital tachographs are also in force. The amendments to this regulation arise from the fact that the provisions of social law are frequently contravened, while the system of tachographs is not as effective as it should be. I essentially support the Commission’s proposals for improving this regulation, as well as the majority of the rapporteur’s amendments, and I also approve of the fact that this regulation does not apply to vehicles whose principal activity is not transport services and whose area of activity does not exceed 100 km from its company’s place of business. For that reason, I did not vote against this regulation. Unfortunately, I was unable to support the regulation and abstained, since the scope of the regulation was extended from the previous 3.5-tonne laden weight to 2.8-tonne laden weight, which is not justified under current market conditions. I also believe that Member States could permit the radius of vehicles’ area of activity to be extended to 150 km instead of the 100 km offered by the Commission, but unfortunately, this did not find favour at the plenary session of Parliament."@en1
