Amendment 43 #
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. 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. Measures to improve social rules should ensure coherence with the Commission's comprehensive strategy for a competitive transport system, in particular with regards to the objective set by the 2011 White Paper on Transport, which called for shifting 30% of road freight over 300 km to multimodal transport by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050.

Amendment 88 #
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 isDrivers fatigue often leads to a deterioration in road and driver safety and therefore needs reliable, easily understandable and enforceable rules 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 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 long.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) In order to ensure that rules are clear, easy to understand and enforceable, information must be made accessible to the drivers. This should be achieved through the coordination of the Commission. Drivers should also receive information on rest areas and secure parking to allow for better planning of journeys. Furthermore, through the Commission's coordination a free telephone hotline should be installed to alert control services in case undue pressure is put on drivers, fraud or illegal behaviour.
