". – Whilst this proposal was submitted in the name of safety and simplification, its contents provide for little more than further bureaucracy and regulation.
We are particularly concerned about the effect that these measures would have on minibuses operated by the voluntary and non-commercial sectors. Whilst the British government has expressed an intention to apply for a national derogation within this area, it is our opinion that the interests of the voluntary sector are best protected by the existing exemptions.
Changes to rest requirements and driving times will severely reduce the ability of schools and coach companies to offer trips abroad at an economically viable rate.
These proposals impose further burdens on an industry that is already heavily regulated, yet the Commission fails to provide any cost-benefit analyses to justify its arguments.
The British Government has described many of these proposals as being either unnecessary or disproportionate to any benefit. We are happy to support this line and trust that they will act accordingly when these measures are considered by the Council."@en1
