"Since 1969, the European Union has laid down social legislation in the field of road transport to improve road safety and drivers’ working conditions, and to ensure fair competition among transport companies. The EU developed a comprehensive policy on inspecting and checking compliance, relying on two main pillars: Directive 2006/22/EC, which lays down a minimum level of checks at the roadside and at the premises of the undertakings, to be carried out by the Member States; and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Tachograph Regulation’. Two main problems which need to be tackled at EU level have been identified by the Commission. The first problem is that social rules are still too often breached: on average, 9% of controlled vehicles are found breaching the social rules. The second problem is that the tachograph system is not sufficiently efficient: there is room to make tachographs easier to operate, especially digital tachographs and their additional functionalities, so as to facilitate drivers’ work and make the transport system more efficient. I voted for the amendments to the regulation because I believe that they will contribute to solving the problems that have been identified."@en1
