Ústne vysvetlenia hlasovania

  Seán Kelly (PPE). – A Uachtaráin, I voted in favour of these new rules defining the minimum rest periods for tour bus drivers, as these reforms will put agency back in the hands of the service providers and service users of the industry. Flexibility is a key part of the service-user experience, and with this reform the differences between those who drive tourist coaches and those who drive freight trucks no longer go ignored.

The impetus it places on increased digitalisation to optimise the work of both the operators and the authorities in carrying out the new reforms is a welcome one. This reform does not compromise on road safety or proper working conditions, but simultaneously places the driver’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances and passenger requirements at the forefront.

Dá bhrí sin, bhí áthas orm vótáil ar a shon.
