Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(1) Good working conditions for drivers and fair business conditions for road transport undertakings are of paramount importance to creating a safe, efficient and socially accountable road transport sector, which is able to attract qualified workers and ensure a wide-level playing field across Europe. To facilitate that process it is essential that the Union social rules in road transport are clear, fit for purpose, easy to apply and to enforce and implemented in an effective and consistent manner throughout the Union.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6) Drivers engaged in long-distance international transport operations spend long periods away from their home. The current requirements on the regular weekly rest unnecessarily prolong those periods. It is thus desirableIn order to secure decent working conditions it is necessary to adapt the provision on the regular weekly rest in such a way that it isorder to make it easier for drivers to carry out transport operations in compliance with the rules and to reach their home for a regular weekly rest, and bewhilst being fully compensated for all reduced weekly rest periods. It is also necessary to provide that operators organise the work of drivers in such a way that these periods away from home are not excessively long and to ensure that drivers have both the opportunity and the means to return home on a regular basis.

Recital 7
(7) There are differences among Member States in the interpretation and implementation of the weekly rest requirements as regards the place where the weekly rest should be taken. It is therefore appropriate to clarify that requirement to ensure that drivers are provided with adequate private accommodation paid by the employer for their regular weekly rest periods if they are taken away from home.
