lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, Mr Savary, the difficulties many Member States are having in accepting the harmonisation of driving restrictions applicable to heavy goods vehicles involved in international transport on the trans-European road network at weekends and on public holidays are well known, given the various failed attempts of the Commission to implement the directive on a transparent system of harmonised rules. The Commission’s rewording of the proposal is to be welcomed; it is a balanced proposal and is entirely justified given the requirements for legal certainty and the growing divergence between national provisions, which set transit countries in radical opposition to countries that are geographically remote. The territory of the European Union now constitutes a single area without frontiers as regards roads, and the forthcoming enlargement will mean increased tensions in the absence of minimum harmonisation. I also welcome the excellent work undertaken by the rapporteur, Mr Savary, particularly on the proposals for amendments on the creation of a European road information system, on extending exemptions for the transport of flowers and fresh horticultural products, as well as on the social conditions arising from the disparities in national provisions that could be resolved by social measures. The report has suggested some measures, such as periods of compensatory rest time and extra pay arrangements. I think that this already provides a good solution to this problem."@en1
