INTRODUCTION
I
ArticLe 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 lays clown that  
"each year the Commission shall present to the Council a general report on  
the implementation of this Regulation by Member States" and that "... Member  
States shall co(pmunicate to the Commission the necessary information using  
a standard form of report...". ,
.  I
This report covers 1981 and as in the past gives an overall view  
of the implementation of Regulations (EEC) Nos 543/69 and 1463/70 in nine of  
the Member States. (Regulation (EEC) No 543/6?;has applied to Greece with  
respect to international transpprt only from 1 January 1982 and in respect  
of national transport from 1 January 198^).
Ip this report the Commission has sought to present a very brief  
account. The Commission departments fear that if the report were presented in  
the form it has taken in the past it would be likely to degenerate into a  
routine exercise of little interest. Accqrdingly, comments that wouLd merely  
have reiterated past reports fiaye been eliminated; for the attentive reader  
the figures speak for themselves and need no comment.
The Commission plans.to. examine this report with the Member  
States as soon as possible.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY THE MEMBER STATES
I. ORGANIZATION OF CONTROL
1. Administrative organization of inspection
The only new development of note is that up to 1979 France had limited  
inspection to firms carrying out transport operations on behalf of  
others; in 1980, these checks were extended on a limited trial basis  
to firms carrying out transport operations on their own account, and  
from 1981 checks were extended to all firms carrying out transport  
operations on their own account.

2) Authorized inspecting officers and their powers
The Commission received figupes from only the following Member States:
BELGIUM (**) 200
47inspectors and assistant inspectors
Transport Department personnel  
-  (traffic exan»}h*rs and inspectors)
DENMARK 300
251police officer?
'  '  I?factory inspectors, around 30 of whom deal  
specifically wjth Regulation 543/69
GERMANY
Ï2.500 (*)  
250/300 (.*)police, BAG, factory inspectors
public services of the Factory Inspectorate'  ;  ·  .  ‘  . i
NETHERLANDS 173 Officials of the Ministry of Transport  
and Water Çontpol
UNITED KINGDOM 204 traffic examiners
FRANCE <**> 353

deputy factory inspectors
(*) As part of wider powers. 1
(**) To this should be added:
(a) in respect of Belgium
- officials of the Gendarmerie Nationale
- custpms officials
(£) in respect of France
- employees of the poljce and the gendarmerie whose role is limited  
to roadside checks
- inspectors of social legislation in agriculture
- labour inspectors under the Ministry of labour
- customs offiçers

-  6 -
In France the use of four semi-automatiedisc-reading machines (known as SABINE)  
in operation in 1980 enabled 334 881 tachograph discs to be analysed in 1981.
3. Methods of inspection (place and frequency)
(a) Roadside checks
'In the United Kingdom in 1981 some 34 000 "silent checks" (*) were carried  
out - about half the number carried out in 1980 (80 000). The United  
Kingdom Government gives no explanation for this sharp fall in the number  
of checks which had seemed to be valid and effective.
(b) Quantitative analysis of checks
To assess the scope of checks carried out in the Member States, an attempt  
has been made to draw up a comparative table reflecting the situation on  
the basis of the information supplied.
1
(*) The system of "silent checks" involves observation of the movement of vehicles  
and checking such movement subsequently at the operator's premises.

(1) To judge the extent to which checks are cpmparable see Annexes 1,2 and 3.
(2) This figure includes. 8 100 checks carried out by Transport Department officials  
and checks m; ade by the Gendarmerie/ customs apd other departments, figures for  
which have not been supplied. It is not clear whether the figure refers to
the number of crews checked or the number of inspections,
(3) Nuipber of checks carried out,
(4) The figure given is ap estimate based op the nuipber of fines imposed, warnings  
issued and infringements detected.
It is difficult to compare the figures for the number of checks carried out,  
mainly because in most cases it js not specified whether the figures relate to  
the number of "inspections" Oir the number of, crews .checked.

II. INFRINGEMENTS AND PENALTIES
D  Number of infringements of the Regulation
To make the figures more comparable/ they have been grouped/ as far as  
possible/ in the same form/ in the tables in annexes 1, 2 and 3/ leaving  
blanks where no information was supplied/ or the information received was  
inadequate or could not be used.
The table on goods transport (Annex I) shows the lack of figures concerning  
Ireland and the lack of information on infringements committed by foreigners  
in Luxembourg and Denmark.
The contributions which are the most detailed and most in line with the  
standard form of report are those supplied by the Federal Republic of  
Germany/ the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (Annexes 5, 6 and 9).
Comments made in previous years concerning this chapter on infringements  
and penalties still apply.
2) Penalties imposed
To present a clearer picture of the way in which Member States prosecute  
infringements the following table has been drawn up in which although the  
figures are not comparable/ they speak for themselves.

III. MULTILATERAL MUTUAL ASSISTANCE BETWEEN MEMBER STATES AND  
NOTIFICATION OF INFRINGEMENTS
In Belgiupiy .  the Transport Department too|< note of 621 official reports on  
Belgian grew members by German, Dutch, Luxppbourg and French inspecting  
officers. Lists of official reports on crew members of’vehicles registered‘■l:
in other Member States were sent to the relevant authorities for information
purposes but no information was received with respect to penalties applied,  · »  · .  ' '
in the other Member St^jtSS·
(  :  i
Denmark received notification of five infringements cpmmitted by Danish  
national? in the Netherlands and an unspecified number of notices of fines  
paid by Danish drivers in the Federal Republic of Germany.
I
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany held regular bilateral  
talks with representatives of the Governments of neighbouring countries  
with a view to ensuring compliance with Regulations (EEC) Nos 543/69,
1463/70 and the AETR.
France reported that it had sent its partners a list of their nationals  
who had committed infringements of Regulations (EEC) Nos 543/69 and 1463/70  
on French territory.
?
On the other hand, the French Government stated that it had received  
notification of ipfringements committed by French drivers on the territory  
of the Federal Republic of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Ireland reported that it had exchanged information on this question with the  
United Kingdom.
Italy is still waiting to finalize a system of recording the information  
in the form of statics.

-  10  -
Luxembourg simply reported that it had notified several serious infringements  
to the other Member States.
The Netherlands reported that they had notified 108 infringements to Belgium,  
one to Denmark, 14 to the Federal Republic of Germany, eight to France and had  
received notification of 111 infringements from Belgium and some 350 from  
Germany.
The United Kingdom reported infringements by foreign crews to the authorities of  
the Member States concerned every three months and stated that it had received  
occasional reports concerning United Kingdom crews from the other Member States.
As in the past there are certain obvious contradictions in these reports, for  
example where a Member State reported that it had sent a list of infringements  
committed by foreigners to all the Member States in question while at the same  
time the other Member States or at least some of them maintain that they received  
nothing.

IV. SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS BY THE MEMBER STATES
Belgium consented on the difficulties encountered ijy firms endeavouring to meet  
the demands set out ffj contracts concluded with clients who totally disregard  
Regulations (EEC) Nos 543/69’ apd 1463/70 with respect to transporters, and  
would like to see thqse firms lender the same obligations as the transporters  
and the driyers. ^
'  '  :  I
Denmark wished to extend the scope of the standard report to include infringe­
ments of Regulations (EEC) Nos 1463/70 and the AETR.
' ' V . ·. !
Having noted that most of the Infringements Ipy foreigners concerned driving  
time and rest periods, the Federal Republic of Germany suggested that this  
was due to a lack of knowledge of the provisions and suggested the publication  
of a booklet briefly outlining the main social provisions concerning road  
transport.
A second point raised by Germany concerns the difficulty of observing the  
required rest time after continuous houps driving on roads with heavy  
traffic due to the lack of space on parking areas, particularly during holiday  
periods and suggested that Regulation (EÉÇ) No 543/69 include the provision  
set out in Article S(1)(a) of^he AETR.
v '  .  ÿ  -I.
With a view to improving inspection at operators' premises, Italy was in  
favour of a $ystem for the authentication and numbering of the tachograph  
record sheets and considered ithat it shquld be compulsory to keep an inspection  
booklet in reserve im case the tachograph was out of order.
Italy would like changes to the standard report that would make the questions  
clearer and lead to.?more efficient processing of the data contained in the  
replies.
The Netherlands considered that the information on penalties imposed served  
no purpose. Given that, i , n g  this dat^ fciPUld lead to considerable  
expenditure the Netherlands proposed they vhou.ld be eliminated.
