"Mr President, I want to pay a special tribute to Ms Silvia Ţicău and her staff, including Elena Podariu, together with the secretariat, especially Elvira Ramírez Pineda, who have worked so hard behind the scenes to ensure that we put this report before plenary today. I have pleasure in voting for it.
There were two problems. The first is in relation to the social rules that have been breached. According to data provided by the Commission, on average, 9% of the controlled vehicles are found breaching the social rules. Roughly a quarter of them are found breaching the tachograph regulations in particular. Secondly, on average, at any one point in time, around 45 000 vehicles are in breach of EU tachograph rules. Non-respect of the minimum breaks, rest periods and the maximum driving times can lead to fatigue for drivers and cause a potential risk to road safety. Heavy goods vehicles are potentially lethal weapons.
Finally, professional drivers and transport companies operate in a highly fragmented market and a fiercely competitive environment. What we need to do is tighten up. That is exactly what this tachograph report does today."@en1
