".
I welcome the expected final adoption of the proposal, which is to abrogate Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 and replace it with a new one, aimed at clarifying, simplifying and updating the current regulation. The overall objective is to avoid different individual interpretations, which in the past have led to legal action. In addition, the obligations of employees and employers have been laid down more clearly, with the primary aim of ensuring that they are able to be enforced more effectively.
The rapporteur has once again shown that he is working towards the Council Common Position and in so doing has sped up the process of adopting this important piece of legislation. Important amendments will enter into force regarding compulsory daily rest periods and the maximum number of driving hours. Additionally, a legal framework under which Member States may impose penalties on Member States found guilty of serious breaches.
This will hopefully meet the primary objective of improving road safety.
I should also like to echo the rapporteur’s wish to foster a climate of fair competition, in which the social interests of those involved in road transport are protected. As for the amendments, I voted for the balanced proposals that take into account the particular needs and interests of the more outlying countries such as Portugal."@en1
