Summary: On 18 October 2018 the European Commission presented its 29th report on the implementation of the social legislation relating to road transport. This report gives an overview of the implementation of the EU social rules in road transport in the Member States for the period from 1 January 2015 until 31 December 2016. It also highlights the key challenges in enforcement and application of the relevant legal provisions. Further information: The EU social rules in road transport are set out in the following four legislative acts: 1) Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 (the Driving Time Regulation) establishing the minimum requirements on daily and weekly driving times, breaks and daily and weekly rest periods; 2) Directive 2002/15/EC (the Road Transport Working Time Directive) laying down the rules on the organisation of the working time of mobile workers. It establishes the requirements on maximum weekly working times, minimum breaks in work and on night-time working; 3) Directive 2006/22/EC (the Enforcement Directive) establishing minimum levels of roadside checks and controls at the premises of transport undertakings to verify compliance with the provisions of the Driving Time Regulation; 4) Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 (the Tachograph Regulation), which sets the requirements on the installation and the use of tachographs in vehicles in scope of the Driving Time Regulation. This report comprises quantitative and qualitative data on checks carried out at roadside and at premises of undertakings as well as on offences detected. It also states what use has been made of the exceptions provided for in Article 13 of the Driving Time Regulation. Finally, it contains qualitative information on the implementation of the Road Transport Working Time Directive. A Commission Staff Working document complements the report with supplementary information on penalties, cooperation between Member States, comments from enforcement authorities and other more detailed statistics. |
