lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of my group I would like to thank the rapporteur for his unwavering work. The proposal has the important aim of improving road safety, and there must be an effective system of checks to act as a sufficient deterrent against failure to implement the legal provisions strictly. What is important is that there should be equal compliance with the provisions everywhere in the EU, in order that competition should not be distorted. The checks, however, should not be made too onerous for the transport sector. It is also important here to take the position of drivers and consignors into account. Moreover, as the resources for monitoring are few it is most important to allocate them where most results can be achieved. That is why our group is not in favour of all the details that have been decided in Brussels concerning how the checks should be organised: it is better to leave the power of implementation to the authorities in the Member States. For example, we do not see any need to specify that at least 50% of checks should be on small enterprises in particular. There will be even greater differences among us with enlargement, and we have to allow for differences in circumstances. We are thus in favour of safety and efficiency, but at the same time of taking the position of transport companies and drivers into account when it comes to practical matters."@en1
