"Mr President, it is important when we consider issues like this to get the right balance. Of course we all want to see safer roads. No one wants to see unsafer roads, as it were, but at the same time we have to balance that against the cost of businesses. In seeking to do so we must make sure, as my colleague Dan Hannan has said previously, that the costs are not prohibitive.
I get complaints from companies quite often saying, once again, that this may suit the large companies that have compliance departments and are able to comply with the laws, but for small businesses it quite often affects them disproportionately. So when we look at legislation like this it is important to get that balance right between solving a problem on the one hand, and the costs to businesses of compliance on the other.
Also in this particular area we should look at all the problems surrounding civil liberties and privacy and data, and we should make sure that the data is only being used for what it is supposed to be used for, without undermining public rights. If we can get that balance right then maybe, just maybe, we can achieve a more competitive market across the EU."@en1
