“Maratonröstning on trucks in the EU-parliament”
“the New rules on cabotage and truckers’ working conditions in the EU have long been on the way in the EU machinery. After many if and but have now also the EU parliament’s members started to vote on their view of the matter – and it’ll take a while.”
“Over 1 200 amendments to be reviewed during today’s session in Brussels, since the proposal’s opponents, mainly from Eastern europe, once again failed to get the whole package is suspended.”
“The new rules are designed, among other things, to allow drivers in international transport subject to the same social rules as in the country they run. When it comes to cabotage transport – when the trucks are running domestic services in a country other than their own – want the EU parliament to allow unlimited number of journeys for three days, after which the vehicle must leave the country for at least five days.”
“the Disagreement is, however, considerable between the member states and political groups.”
“If parliament says yes to the proposal in the day waiting for ilsnabba compromise negotiations with the council of ministers in the hope of a complete agreement before the EUROPEAN elections.”
