Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) Having evaluated the effectiveness and efficiency of the implementation of the existing set of Union social rules in road transport, and in particular Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council9 , certain deficiencies were identified in the existing legal framework. Unclear and unsuitable rules on weekly rest, resting facilities, breaks in multi- manning and the absence of rules on the return of drivers to their home, lead to diverging interpretations and enforcement practices in the Member States. Several Member States recently adopted unilateral measures further increasing legal uncertainty and unequal treatment of drivers and operators. __________________ 9 Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport and amending Council Regulations (EEC) No 3821/85 and (EC) No 2135/98 and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 (OJ L 102, 11.4.2006, p. 1).

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 desirable to adapt the provision on the regular weekly rest in such a way that it is easier for drivers to carry out transport operations in compliance with the rules and to reacho ensure that these periods away from home are not excessively long, operators should organise the work of drivers in such a way that they can live in decent conditions thanks to allowances or bonuses sufficient to fund decent accommodation. Measures should also be taken to ensure that operators organise the return of drivers to their home for a regular weekly rest, and be 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 longnother place of their choosing at least every two weeks. It is essential that the duration of this return trip does not count as part of the rest period and that if drivers choose to spend their rest time in a place other than their home the undertaking must not in any way use it to save on the cost of a return or of travel allowances for the driver.

Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) The exclusion of road vehicles or combinations of vehicles carrying out international transport operations with a laden mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes has resulted in the development of unfair competition and differences in the application of Regulation (EC) 561/2006, leading to disparities in working conditions and compromising road safety. These types of vehicles should therefore also be included in the scope of Regulation (EC) 561/2006.
