(16) To ensure fair competition in the internal road transport market and to give a clear message to drivers and transport undertakings, the definition of very serious infringements against this Regulation should be harmonised and binding in nature and the Member States' highest category of sanctions should be imposed for ‘very serious’ infringements (as defined in Commission Directive 2009/5/EC of 30 January 2009 amending Annex III to Directive 2006/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on minimum conditions for the implementation of Council Regulations (EEC) Nos 3820/85 and 3821/85 concerning social legislation relating to road transport activities), without prejudice to the principle of subsidiarity. Efforts should also be taken to ensure that the penalties awarded for any infringements are always 'effective, dissuasive and proportionate'. In particular concrete steps should be taken to eliminate the practice of excessively high fines for minor infringements.
