The current Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 on minimum breaks and rest periods for road freight and passenger transport drivers does not take into account the nature of occasional bus and coach services, and their drivers' specific needs. The European Commission has therefore proposed to amend this legislation and to introduce more flexible rules on splitting up breaks and taking daily and weekly rest periods. In the European Parliament, the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) is responsible for ...

L'attuale regolamento (CE) n. 561/2006 relativo alle interruzioni e ai periodi di riposo minimi per i conducenti nel settore del trasporto su strada non tiene conto delle caratteristiche e delle esigenze specifiche del trasporto occasionale di passeggeri (pullman e autobus, principalmente a fini turistici). La Commissione europea ha pertanto proposto di modificare tale normativa e di introdurre norme più flessibili sulla suddivisione delle interruzioni e sulla fruizione dei periodi di riposo giornalieri ...

For over 30 years, the EU has been pursuing the objective of developing an efficient and competitive EU-wide railway network, the single European railway area. By integrating national rail systems, rail should become more competitive, ultimately allowing transport to become more sustainable. Efficient, safe and interoperable rail services need train drivers who can work seamlessly across borders and across operational and language barriers. In the absence of an EU-wide certification scheme, however ...

International Women's Day on 8 March 2022 marks an occasion to reflect on the position of women as workers in the EU transport sector. Women only represent on average around 16 % (2020) of total employees in the different transport sectors and modes (land, water and air). In view of growing labour shortages in this important economic sector, worsened by the coronavirus pandemic, this share needs to increase, according to experts.

This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the FEMM Committee, summarises achievements in gender and transport in the EU in regard to knowledge and policies considering women as transport users and as workers in the transport sector. It introduces the most recent data and concepts, presents promising practices and provides EU policy indications in the context of the European Green Deal to effectively support ...

The EU has established a range of social measures applicable to the road transport sector, which aim at improving drivers' working conditions, road safety and competition. To give real substance to these measures, compliance is key. The 2006 Enforcement Directive was therefore adopted to effectively implement the social provisions of the Driving Time Regulation. The present proposal, published in the context of the European Commission's 2017 'Europe on the move' initiative, seeks to remedy some shortcomings ...

The Driving Time and Tachograph Regulations were adopted to improve drivers' working conditions and road safety, as well as to enhance compliance with the rules, and competition between road operators. In the context of the European Commission's 2017 'Europe on the move' package, the present proposal aims to remedy the shortcomings of these regulations, on which a broad consensus has emerged: lack of clarity, non-uniform implementation, insufficient enforcement and a need for strengthened cooperation ...

Accanto alla liberalizzazione dei trasporti e alla creazione del mercato interno nel settore dei trasporti, l'UE ha stabilito misure sociali e di mercato. Il 31 maggio 2017, per rafforzare queste misure nel settore dell'autotrasporto, la Commissione europea ha adottato una serie di tre proposte legislative sui tempi di guida e di riposo, sul distacco dei conducenti e sull'accesso alla professione e al cabotaggio, nell'ambito del pacchetto "Europa in movimento". Il Parlamento europeo dovrebbe votare ...

Nel maggio 2017, nel quadro dell'iniziativa "L'Europa in movimento", la Commissione europea ha presentato una serie di tre proposte volte ad aggiornare le norme sociali e di mercato nel settore del trasporto su strada. Nel giugno 2018 la commissione per i trasporti e il turismo (TRAN) del Parlamento europeo ha approvato le sue relazioni in merito a tali proposte e i mandati per avviare i negoziati di trilogo. Tuttavia, nella tornata di giugno, il Parlamento non ha approvato i mandati. Pertanto, in ...
