Key points

The EESC:

  • calls on the European Commission and the European Labour Authority (ELA) to assist the Member States and the road transport sector with coordinated interpretation of the Mobility Package and control methodology;
  • highlights that safety considerations, including the prevention of accidents and the protection of drivers and other road users, should be at the forefront of any regulatory and operational decisions;
  • invites all Member States and relevant authorities to actively use the Internal Market Information system (IMI);
  • encourages the European Commission and Member States to ensure a smooth transition to smart tachograph 2, version 2;
  • suggests developing a digital application which would calculate the remuneration of posted drivers in real time;
  • urges all public authorities to act decisively to ensure equal treatment on the EU labour market regardless of country of origin.
