"Since 1969, the European Union has laid down legislation in the field of road transport to improve road safety, drivers’ working conditions and to ensure fair competition among transport companies. According to data provided by the Commission, on average, 9% of controlled vehicles are found to be breaching the social rules and roughly one quarter of them are found to be breaching the Tachograph Regulation. In view of these data, the Commission presented a proposal for a revision of the Tachograph Regulation, which aims to better enforce the social rules and to reduce the administrative burden by making use of new technologies and introducing a number of new regulatory measures. These include measures which will widen the functionalities of the digital tachograph, with the advent of a new type called the smart tachograph. I welcome the proposal, support its main points and back the introduction of the smart tachograph, because I believe it will help to improve enforcement of the legislation and will be a means to reduce the level of administrative burden related to tachograph obligations for companies that comply with the rules. Furthermore, a harmonised interface with ITS applications should help to facilitate the integration of the different systems and prevent the multiplication of independent items of equipment on board vehicles."@en1
