lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the procedure advances far more quickly for texts relating to competition than for those relating to social standards – we are used to that. The text submitted to us today has been around since 2001. This is therefore the outcome of a long legislative procedure that ended with a difficult and improbable conciliation procedure, such was the resistance shown by the Member States. I will vote in favour of this text, which puts in place minimum standards. It must be pointed out that these standards constitute a significant step forward given that, in certain Member States, road transport workers were driving for as many as 70 or 74 hours and that driving times will from now on be limited to 56 hours; given that this is a text relating to social convergence, which does not prevent matters from being dealt with more satisfactorily in each of the Member States; and given that this is a text that I hope is ripe for improvement. Nevertheless, I very much regret what Mr Jarzembowski said about Mr Piecyk. He wanted to put a very unpleasant ideological slant on the matter. I regret it because Mr Piecyk put his finger on a problem: the absence of simultaneous checks of driving time and working time. Thus, a heavy goods vehicle could be kept moving non-stop by three underpaid drivers: the first drives, the second takes his rest break on the adjacent seat in the cab and the third takes his weekly rest break on the back seat, behind the driver. That is the reality of the matter, and I believe that we have let a great social text slip by. I regret that somewhat, but I will nevertheless be voting in favour."@en1
