Recital 19 c (new)
(19c) The respect of working, driving and rest time rules for locomotive drivers is essential for railway safety and for fair competition. In an open European railway market with increasing cross- border operations the respect of driving and rest time must be controlled and enforced. The national safety authorities should have the task to check and enforce such rules; the Commission should propose rules and mandatory regular checks. But this is possible only with an electronic on-board device that registers driving and rest time of locomotive drivers.

(19d) In the light of the development of the single European railway area and the opening of the rail transport market, Member States should make use of representative collective agreements concluded between social partners, without prejudice to national law and collective agreements already in force, in order to avoid social dumping and unfair competition.

Recital 19 e (new)
(19e) On-board personnel are a professional group within the railway sector that is performing safety-relevant tasks. Traditionally it is performing operational safety tasks within the railway system and it is responsible for passengers' comfort and safety on board trains. A certification similar to the certification of locomotive drivers is useful in order to guarantee a high level of qualifications and competences, to recognise the relevance of these professional groups for safe rail services but also to facilitate mobility of workers.
