"Tachographs play a crucial role in checking that professional road transport drivers comply with the driving and rest time regulations, thereby helping improve road safety, drivers’ working conditions and fair competition between road transport companies. Any vehicle being put into service for the first time 24 months after the technical specifications come into force must be fitted with a smart tachograph capable of supplying data to the relevant authorities while the vehicle is in motion. I voted for Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 to apply to all vehicles, including vehicles with trailers or semi-trailers, intended for transporting goods by road, with a maximum authorised mass of 2.8 tonnes (and which are not subject to the exemptions which may be granted by Member States). I think that these improvements to the regulation will help increase road safety and provide better working conditions for professional drivers. I think that the regulation on the social conditions applicable to professional drivers must contain as few exemptions as possible. This is why I did not support Amendment 129, which extended certain exemptions up to a distance of 150 km from the company’s head office, or Amendment 120 either, which introduces an exemption for the construction sector."@en1
