Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
(11) In order to ensure the effective and proportionate implementation of Directive 96/71/EC in the road transport sector, it is necessary to establish sector-specific rules reflecting the particularity of the highly mobile workforce in the road transport sector and providing a balance between the social protection of drivers and the freedom to provide cross-border services for operators as well as the need to ensure that inter-company competition in the sector is fair. The provisions on posting of workers in Directive 96/71/EC, and on the enforcement of those provisions in Directive 2014/67/EU, apply to the road transport sector unless this Directive provides otherwise.
