Key points

  • The European Parliament formally opposes the adoption of the draft Commission regulation regarding road transport infringements.
  • The proposed list is incomplete as it fails to include illegal cabotage, which negatively impacts driver working conditions.
  • The use of vague terms like 'in accordance' or 'valid' makes the regulation difficult for authorities to interpret correctly.
  • There are concerns that the regulation could undermine existing liability and responsibility rules for transporting dangerous goods.
