I fundamentally welcome the report on digital tachographs in trucks. However, I believe that the principles of the directive should only be applied to trucks (with an unladen weight of more than 3.5 tonnes).
In contrast, tradesmen who only occasionally transport materials should not be covered by the directive, because it is not aimed at them, but at commercial transport companies. This ultimately concerns the different types of tradesmen who work on building sites. However, certain forms of transport (for example, perishable goods such as milk, food or concrete) should be subject to special regulations.
