"Traffic accidents account for the greatest number of transport-related deaths in the EU. We hear about tragic accidents involving coaches ever more often. The heaviest vehicles, in other words. lorries and coaches, present the greatest danger, of course. Significant attention therefore needs to be paid to the working conditions of professional drivers and to their compliance with regulations. The European policy of checks and inspections in road transport is based on Directive 2006/22/EC on the minimum level of checks at the roadside and at the premises of transport businesses, and on Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport. At present, analogue tachographs are in use in vehicles registered before 1 May 2006, and digital tachographs in vehicles registered after that date. The problem is that the conditions laid down by these regulations are breached. Honest transport operators who stick to the rules are thereby ‘penalised’. Businesses that do not stick to the rules gain an unacceptable competitive advantage on the market, and can offer transport at lower prices. The second problem is inefficient tachographs. The tachographs in use do not evaluate whether there has been a breach of the rules on the number of hours of driving and rest for drivers, but only record data on driving. In view of the possibilities of digital networks and satellites, I would like to call for the future linking up of digital tachographs with checkpoints. I welcome the report overall, and I voted for its adoption."@en1
