"Madam President, as a former self-employed truck driver, I support keeping the self-employed in this directive. Own-account drivers, I know for a fact, are under tremendous pressure to work night and day. Commissioner Kallas, your speech and your proposal is a disgrace. It puts drivers’ health and safety at risk. It puts other road users at risk. It puts SMEs at risk from unfair competition, and it puts increased pressure on decent employers to push their employees into self-employment.
Fifty per cent of drivers have admitted falling asleep at the wheel. Twenty per cent of accidents are due to fatigue. Thirty per cent of drivers’ working time is taken up loading and unloading and helping passengers. Ms Harkin, if you are still here, what they do in their attic is their own business. This Parliament must stand up for citizens’ safety and against those who want an unregulated transport sector. Commissioner Kallas, go back to the drawing board."@en1
