• Since 2000 the number of people killed or injured onEuropean roads has been reduced by 25% while the

number of km driven by trucks increased by 20%

• The European Directive EC59/2003 on professionaldriver qualification is in place from September 08/09

for respectively Cat. D and C drivers

• Whilst this shall help increase the knowledge andskills of professional drivers and therefore positivelyimpact road safety, its implementation is complex

and there is a lack of harmonisation

Results

Page 27 (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2010

• There is a strong need to harmonise, at the EU level,the qualification of road transport professionals

• The road transport industry needs high standardinfrastructure. A focus should be placed on improvedSafe Parking Areas in order to comply with regulation

EC 561/2006 on Drive and Rest Time rules

• There is a need to harmonise enforcement rules &infringements

• The industry doesn’t need more regulations anddirectives but it need the incentives in order that thecurrent legal requirements can be fulfilled efficientlyand quickly
