1.Under Article 17ofCouncil Regulation (EEC ;nc543/69?■*25March
1969 theCommission isrequired topresent totheCouncil aiicumual repci s
ontheapplication oftheRegulation bytheMember StateB .TheCommission
herewith presents thefifth general report (oovering theperiod 1January
to31December 1974 )•
2.Asstated inthereport fortheyear 1973 ,thenecessary implementing
regulation permitting normal application oftheCommunity Regulation in
Denmark forinternational transport wasnotadopted until 21February 1975 ;
asaresult this report contains noinformation relating toDenmark forthe
year 1974# Similary Ireland didnotadopt implementing regulations for
international transport until 1December 1975 snd .noinformation regarding
theyear 1974 istherefore available .
3.The information received from theother Member States continues tobe
supplied with varying degrees ofdetail .Inaddition non-uniform presentation
ofstatistical data makes acomparative presentation bytheCommission
extremely difficult .Some Member States supply extensive statistical infor­
mation whereas others provide very little .
4.TheCommission hasattempted toreduce thevolume ofthereport byno
longer reproducing thedetailed individual data provided byeach Member
State butrather byasumrrary ofthis information intabular form .This
summary iscontained inthe annex tothereport .
5.Part Bofthereport contains asummary ofcomments andremarks made
bythe individual Member States intheir reports totheCommission aswell
aslisted details ofthestatistical information supplied bythat Member
State andnot reproduced inthe Annex tothis report .Part Ccontains the
appreciations andconclusions drawn bytheCommission from thereports
made byindividual Member States .
B.SUMMARY OFINFORMATION SUPPLIED BYTHE MEMBER STATES
Federal Republic ofGermany
Controls continue tobeeffected asdescribed inthe report for 1973 .
Details ofagents charged with control operations andthenumber ofcontrols
effected are shown inAnnex Table 1.
TheGerman Federal Republic makes special reference todifficulties
encountered with vehicles from third countries which itissaid –in
contrast tomost German vehicles –arenot equipped with atachograph or
where thecrew members areeither not inpossession oforhave incorrecc'J.j
completed theindividual control bock .These breaches totheprovisions
concerning thecontrol book continue toform themajority oftheinfringe­
ments totheRegulation .

-2-
Mutualassistance continues to"beTendered "between theFederal
Republic andtheneighbouring oountrieo toensurecompliance withthe
Regulation 'sprovisions andtoavoiddifficulties intransport flows.
Initsconclusions ,theFederalRepublic emphasizes thatdespite
numerous employers andcrewmembersrespecting themostimportant
provisions oftheRegulation thishasnotbeenenoughtoshowany-
markedimprovement incompliance .Information andexplanation arestill
necessary particularly inthirdcountries .Reference isalsomadeto
complaints fromtheroadhaulageindustrythatcontrols andfinesin
otherMemberSts.teseitherdonottakeplaceorononlyamuchsmaller
scale.Suchdistortion ofcompetition hasledtheindustry toprotest
actions atthefrontiers .
TheFederalRepublio furtherconsiders thatcommonmeasures in
respectofth-3breaches oftheprovisions oftheRegulation shouldbe
drawnupbytheMemberStates.

France
Anewlaw,drasmupin1973andadoptedbytheSenatein1974*aimed
atextending controlauthority ,inrespectoftheRegulation ,totransport
inspectors androadcontrollers (some340innumber)auwellastocustoms
officials ,hadnot,inthereportperiod,beenpassedbytheNational
Assembly.Thiswidening ofauthority andclosecoordination withthe
Industrial Inspection Board'sinspectors willinfuturepermitmore
effective controls tobecarried out.
Francefurtherstatesthat,inthereportperiod,roadcontrols
haveonlyconcentrated ontheverification ofcertainnormssuchas-installation andproperuseofcontrolequipment (tachograph ),continuous
anddailydrivingperiodsanddailyrestperiods.In1974thecontrol
efforthasconcentrated onindepthandsystematic controls atcompanypremises ,
theefficacity ofwhichhasbeenenhacedbythecompulsory introduction of

TheIndustrial Inspection Eoardseffectednearlyalltheircontrols

andtherefore in1974themaincontroltaskfortheRegulation wasleftto
theTransport Administration andtheGendarmerie .
Thedisproportion betweenthenumberofbreaches (AnnexTable2(a))
andnumberofchargesbrought (AnnexTable3(c))isaccounted forbythe
factthattheinspectors areauthorised toissuewarnings andnotobliged

ITALY
Controls were carried outonly atcomp^iy premises "bytheinspecting
officers oftheMinistry ofLabour and Social Security .Regular inspections
were delayed inthe first eight months ofthereport period byastrike of
these officers .AGaresult only spot checks were effected atcompanies
having rr.ore the 20employees .
Breaches generally stem from inaccurate keeping ofregisters byemployers
andfailure towrite uptheindividual control bocks bythecrew members .The
inspecting officers considered itnecessary toprovide clearer explanations
andinstructions ontheproper keeping ofthese documents .
The Italian Ministry iscurrently examining thepossibility ofharmonising
theduties ofinspecting officers with similar activities cairied outbythe
traffic police .
Inconclusion Italy considers that ingeneral theprovisions ofthe
Regulation areadequately applied andthat better implementation might be
achieved through close collaboration between road traffic control authorities
and theinspecting officers oftheMinistry ofLabour and Social Security .

Controls were effected asdescribed inthereport for theyear 1973 .
Thecompulsory introduction ofthetaohograph in1974 forcertain vehicles

CONCLUSIONS
Itremainsextremely difficult fortheCommission todrawanyconcrete
conclusions concerning theharmonised application oftheRegulation inall
MemberStates;firstlytheRegulation appliedintheUnitedKingdomonly
tointernational transport duringthereportperiodandneither Denmark
orIrelandhadadoptedthenecessary implementing regulations andsecondly
thelack,fromseveralStates,ofsufficient comparable datamakessuch
conclusions oflittlevalue.
