"Mr President, Mr Kallas, first of all, I find it regrettable that we failed to adopt the motion to adjourn the vote for this July plenary sitting. For a dossier as difficult as this one, which is concerned with specific and technical details that have already been mentioned, it is absolutely necessary to allow us more time and vote only once that time has been spent. Our decisions will have very tangible effects on the day-to-day working lives of many lorry drivers. First of all, it is about who needs a tachograph, for which lorries, for what distances, derogations are envisaged, what exactly will be monitored, driving and rest periods, speed, weight and, last but not least, how all these data are to be recorded and monitored. So far, so good, and I can fully support this. I did notice, however, that there was a failure for us to get involved with the social dimension, in order to prevent social dumping, unfair competition on the roads and, not least, risks to road safety. Already, before any decision is made about digital tachographs, lists of tricks to circumvent and manipulate these devices are circulating. The competition in the road haulage sector is relentless, particularly under heavy pressure from third countries. Unfortunately, we have, in the meantime, reached a point where the winner at the end of the day is not the party that sticks to the rules, but the one that is best at getting around them. We therefore need to get to work on these fundamental issues, on the actual causes of the problems. Will the tachograph help us to do that? I hope so!"@en1
