It shall enter into force three months after the date of notification to Contracting Parties. 3. Appendix 1B, adapted for the present Agreement from Annex IB1 of Regulation (EEC) 3821/85 as cited in article 10 of the present Agreement, depending directly on evolutions introduced into this Annex by the European Union, any amendment made to this Annex shall be applicable to Appendix 1B under the following conditions: − the secretariat of the Working Party on Road Transport of the Economic Commission for Europe will officially inform the competent authorities of all Contracting Parties of the publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities of the amendments introduced to Annex IB of the Community Regulation and at the same time will communicate this information to the Secretary-General accompanied by a copy of the relevant texts. − these amendments shall enter directly into force for Appendix 1B three months after the date of communication to Contracting Parties of the information. 4. When a proposal to amend the Annex to the present Agreement also implies an amendment to Appendix 1B, the amendments concerning the Appendix may not enter into force before those concerning the Annex. When, in this framework, amendments to Appendix 1B are presented at the same time as amendments to the Annex, their date of entry into force shall be determined by the date resulting from application of the procedures outlined in article 21.” * * * 1 As last amended by Commission Regulations (EC) No.1360/2002 of 13 June 2002 (OJ L 207 of 5 August 2002 (corrigendum OJ L 77 of 13 March 2004)) and No. 432/2004 of 5 March 2004 (OJ L 71 of 10 March 2004). Part two Amendments to the Annex to the AETR Replace the Annex to the AETR by the following: “ANNEX Control device GENERAL PROVISIONS Chapter I: Type approval Article 1 For the purposes of this Chapter, the words “control device” shall mean “control device or its components”. Applications for the approval of a type of control device or of a model record sheet or memory card shall be submitted, accompanied by the appropriate specifications, by the manufacturer or his agent to a Contracting Party. No application in respect of any one type of control device or of any one model record sheet or memory card may be submitted to more than one Contracting Party. Article 2 A Contracting Party shall grant its type approval to any type of control device, to any model record sheet or memory card which conforms to the requirements laid down in Appendix 1 or 1B to this Annex, provided that the Contracting Party is in a position to check that production models conform to the approved prototype. The control device referred to in Appendix 1B may not be granted type approval until the whole system (the control device itself, driver card and electrical gearbox connections) has demonstrated its capacity to resist attempts to tamper with or alter the data on driving times. The tests necessary to establish this shall be carried out by experts familiar with up-to-date tampering techniques. Any modifications or additions to an approved model must receive additional type approval from the Contracting Party which granted the original type approval. Article 3 Contracting Parties shall issue to the applicant an approval mark, which shall conform to the model shown in Appendix 2, for each type of control device or model record sheet or memory card which they approve pursuant to article 2. Article 4 The competent authorities of the Contracting Party to which the application for type approval has been submitted shall, in respect of each type of control device or model record sheet or memory card which they approve or refuse to approve, either send within one month to the authorities of the other Contracting Parties a copy of the approval certificate accompanied by copies of the relevant specifications, or, if such is the case, notify those authorities that approval has been refused; in cases of refusal they shall communicate the reasons for their decision. Article 5 1. If a Contracting Party which has granted type approval as provided for in article 2 finds that a certain control device or record sheet or memory card bearing the type approval mark which it has issued does not conform to the prototype which it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production models conform to the approved prototype. The measures taken may, if necessary, extend to withdrawal of the type approval. 2. A Contracting Party which has granted type approval shall withdraw such approval if the control device or record sheet or memory card which has been approved is not in conformity with this Annex or its Appendices or displays in use any general defect which makes it unsuitable for the purpose for which it is intended. 3. If a Contracting Party which has granted type approval is notified by another Contracting Party of one of the cases referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, it shall also, after consulting the latter Contracting Party, take the steps laid down in those paragraphs, subject to paragraph 5. 4. A Contracting Party which ascertains that one of the cases referred to in paragraph 2 has arisen may forbid until further notice the placing on the market and putting into service of the control device or record sheets or memory card. The same applies in the cases mentioned in paragraph 1 with respect to control devices or record sheets or memory cards which have been exempted from the initial verification, if the manufacturer, after due warning, does not bring the equipment into line with the approved model or with the requirements of this Annex. In any event, the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall notify one another within one month, of any withdrawal of type approval or of any other measures taken pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 and shall specify the reasons for such action. 5. If a Contracting Party which has granted type approval disputes the existence of any of the cases specified in paragraphs 1 or 2 notified to it, the Contracting Parties concerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute. Article 6 1. An applicant for type approval of a model record sheet shall state on his application the type or types of control device on which the sheet in question is designed to be used and shall provide a suitable device of such type or types for the purpose of testing the sheet. 2. The competent authorities of each Contracting Party shall indicate on the approval certificate for the model record sheet the type or types of control device on which that model sheet may be used. Article 7 No Contracting Party may refuse to register any vehicle fitted with a control device, or prohibit the entry into service or use of such vehicle for any reason connected with the fact that the vehicle is fitted with such device, if the control device bears the approval mark referred to in article 3 and the installation plaque referred to in article 9. Article 8 All decisions pursuant to this Annex refusing or withdrawing approval of a type of control device or model record sheet or memory card shall specify in detail the reasons on which they are based. A decision shall be communicated to the party concerned, who shall at the same time be informed of the remedies available to him under the laws of the Contracting Party and of the time limits for the exercise of such remedies. CHAPTER II – INSTALLATION AND INSPECTION Article 9 1. The control device may be installed or repaired only by fitters or workshops approved by the competent authorities of Contracting Parties for that purpose after the latter, should they so desire, have heard the views of the manufacturers concerned. The period of administrative validity of approved workshop and fitter cards shall not exceed one year. If a card issued to an approved workshop or fitter is to be extended, is damaged, malfunctions, is lost or stolen, the authority shall supply a replacement card within five working days of receiving a detailed request to that effect. Where a new card is issued to replace an old one, the new card shall bear the same “workshop” information number, but the index shall be increased by one. The authority issuing the card shall maintain a register of lost, stolen or defective cards. Contracting Parties shall take any measure necessary to prevent the cards distributed to approved fitters and workshops from being falsified. 2. The approved fitter or workshop shall place a special mark on the seals which it affixes and, in addition, shall enter for a control device in conformity with Appendix 1B, the electronic security data for carrying out, in particular, the authentication checks. The competent authorities of each Contracting Party shall maintain a register of the marks and electronic security data used and of approved workshop and fitter cards issued. 3. The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall send each other their lists of approved fitters and workshops and the cards issued to them and also copies of the marks and of the necessary information relating to the electronic security data used. 4. For the purpose of certifying that installation of the control device took place in accordance with the requirements of this Annex an installation plaque affixed as provided in Appendix 1 or 1B shall be used. 5. Seals may be removed by fitters or workshops approved by the competent authorities in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this article or in the circumstances described in Appendix 1 or 1B of this Annex. CHAPTER III – USE OF EQUIPMENT Article 10 The employer and drivers shall ensure the correct functioning and proper use of, on the one hand, the control device and, on the other, the driver card where a driver is required to drive a vehicle fitted with a control device in conformity with Appendix 1B. Article 11 1. The employer shall issue a sufficient number of record sheets to drivers of vehicles fitted with the control device in conformity with Appendix 1, bearing in mind the fact that these sheets are personal in character, the length of the period of service, and the possible obligation to replace sheets which are damaged, or have been taken by an authorized inspecting officer. The employer shall issue to drivers only sheets of an approved model suitable for use in the control device installed in the vehicle. Where the vehicle is fitted with a control device in conformity with Appendix 1B, the employer and the driver shall ensure that, taking into account the length of the period of service, the printing on request referred to in Appendix 1B can be carried out correctly in the event of an inspection. 2. The undertaking shall keep the record sheets in good order for at least a year after their use and shall give copies to the drivers concerned who request them. The sheets shall be produced or handed over at the request of any authorized inspecting officer. 3. The driver card as defined in Appendix 1B shall be issued, at the request of the driver, by the competent authority of the Contracting Party where the driver has his normal residence. A Contracting Party may require any driver subject to the provisions of the Agreement and normally resident on its territory to hold a driver card. (a) For the purposes of this Agreement ‘normal residence’ means the place where a person usually lives, that is for at least 185 days in each calendar year, because of personal and occupational ties, or, in the case of a person with no occupational ties, because of personal ties which show close links between that person and the place where he is living. However, the normal residence of a person whose occupational ties are in a different place from his personal ties and who consequently lives in turn in different places situated in two or more Contracting Parties shall be regarded as being the place of his personal ties, provided that such person returns there regularly. This last condition need not be met where the person is living in a Contracting Party in order to carry out a fixed-term assignment. (b) Drivers shall give proof of their place of normal residence by any appropriate means, such as their identity card or any other valid document. (c) Where the competent authorities of the Contracting Party issuing the driver card have doubts as to the validity of a statement as to normal residence made in accordance with point (b), or for the purpose of certain specific controls, they may request any additional information or evidence. (d) The competent authority of the issuing Contracting Party shall, as far as this can be done, ensure that the applicant does not already hold a valid driver card. 4. (a) The competent authority of the Contracting Party shall personalize the driver card in accordance with the provisions of Appendix 1B. The period of administrative validity of the driver card shall not exceed five years. The driver may hold one valid driver card only. The driver is authorized to use only his own personalized driver card. The driver shall not use a driver card which is defective or which has expired. When a driver card is issued replacing an old one, the new card shall bear the same driver card issue number but the index shall be increased by one. The issuing authority shall keep records of issued, stolen, lost or defective driver cards for a period at least equivalent to their period of validity. If the driver card is damaged, malfunctions or is lost or stolen, the authority shall supply a replacement card within five working days of receiving a detailed request to that effect. In the event of a request for the renewal of a card whose expiry date is approaching, the authority shall supply a new card before the expiry date provided that the request was sent to it within the time limits laid down in the fourth subparagraph of article 12 (1). (b) Driver cards shall be issued only to applicants who are subject to the provisions of the Agreement. (c) The driver card shall be personal. It may not, during its official period of validity, be withdrawn or suspended for whatever reason unless the competent authority of a Contracting Party finds that the card has been falsified, or the driver is using a card of which he is not the holder, or that the card held has been obtained on the basis of false declarations and/or forged documents. If such suspension or withdrawal measures are taken by a Contracting Party other than the Contracting Party of issue, the former shall return the card to the authorities of the Contracting Party which issued it and shall indicate the reasons for returning it. (d) Driver cards issued by Contracting Parties shall be mutually recognized. Where the holder of a valid driver card issued by a Contracting Party has established his normal place of residence in another Contracting Party, he may ask for his card to be exchanged for an equivalent driver card; it shall be the responsibility of the Contracting Party which carries out the exchange to verify if necessary whether the card produced is actually still valid. Contracting Parties carrying out an exchange shall return the old card to the authorities of the Contracting Party of issue and indicate the reasons for so doing. (e) Where a Contracting Party replaces or exchanges a driver card, the replacement or exchange, and any subsequent replacement or renewal, shall be registered in that Contracting Party. (f) Contracting Parties shall take all the necessary measures to prevent any possibility of driver cards being falsified. 5. Contracting Parties shall ensure that data needed to monitor compliance with the present Agreement which are recorded and stored by the control device in conformity with Appendix 1B to this Annex can be stored for 365 days after the date of their recording and that they can be made available under conditions that guarantee the security and accuracy of the data. Contracting Parties shall take any measures necessary to ensure that the resale or decommissioning of a control device cannot detract, in particular, from the satisfactory application of this paragraph. Article 12 1. Drivers shall not use dirty or damaged record sheets or driver card. The sheets or driver card shall be adequately protected on this account. In case of damage to a sheet or driver card bearing recordings, drivers shall attach the damaged sheet or driver card to a spare sheet or a temporary sheet used to replace it. If the driver card is damaged, malfunctions or is lost or stolen, the driver shall apply within seven calendar days for its replacement to the competent authorities of the Contracting Party in which he has his normal residence. Where a driver wishes to renew his driver card, he shall apply to the competent authorities of the Contracting Party in which he has his normal residence not later than 15 working days before the expiry date of the card. 2. Drivers shall use the record sheets or driver card every day on which they are driving, starting from the moment they take over the vehicle. The record sheet or driver card shall not be withdrawn before the end of the daily working period unless its withdrawal is otherwise authorized. No record sheet or driver card may be used to cover a period longer than that for which it is intended. When, as a result of being away from the vehicle, a driver is unable to use the control device fitted to the vehicle, the periods of time indicated in paragraph 3, second indent (b), (c) and (d) below shall be entered on the sheet, either manually, by automatic recording or other means, legibly and without dirtying the sheet. Drivers shall amend the record sheets as necessary should there be more than one driver on board the vehicle, so that the information referred to in paragraph 3 second indent (b), (c) and (d) below is recorded on the record sheet of the driver who is actually driving. 3. Drivers shall: − ensure that the time recorded on the sheet agrees with the official time in the country of registration of the vehicle, − operate the switch mechanisms enabling the following periods of time to be recorded separately and distinctly: (a) under the sign or 1 driving time; (b) under the sign or 1 all other periods of work; (c) under the sign or 1 other periods of availability, namely: − waiting time, i.e. the period during which drivers need remain at their posts only for the purpose of answering any calls to start or resume driving or to carry out other work, − time spent beside the driver while the vehicle is in motion, − time spent on a bunk while the vehicle is in motion; 1 Symbols used for the digital tachograph. (d) under the sign or 1 breaks in work and daily rest periods. 4. Each Contracting Party may permit all the periods referred to in paragraph 3, second indent (b) and (c) to be recorded under the sign on the record sheets used on vehicles registered in its territory. 5. Each crew member concerned shall enter the following information on his record sheet: (a) on beginning to use the sheet – his surname and first name; (b) the date and place where use of the sheet begins and the date and place where such use ends; (c) the registration number of each vehicle to which he is assigned, both at the start of the first journey recorded on the sheet and then, in the event of a change of vehicle, during use of the sheet; (d) the odometer reading: − at the start of the first journey recorded on the sheet, − at the end of the last journey recorded on the sheet, − in the event of a change of vehicle during a working day (reading on the vehicle to which he was assigned and reading on the vehicle to which he is assigned); (e) if relevant, the time of any change of vehicle. 5 bis. The driver shall enter in the control device in conformity with Appendix 1B the symbols of the countries in which he begins and ends his daily work period. The above data entries shall be activated by the driver, and may be entirely manual or automatic if the control device is linked to a satellite tracking system. 6. The control device defined in Appendix 1 shall be so designed that it is possible for an authorized inspecting officer, if necessary after opening the equipment, to read the recordings relating to the nine hours preceding the time of the check without permanently deforming, damaging or soiling the sheet. The device shall, furthermore, be so designed that it is possible, without opening the case, to verify that recordings are being made. 7. (a) Where the driver drives a vehicle fitted with a control device in conformity with Appendix 1, he must be able to produce, whenever an inspecting officer so requests: − the record sheets for the current week and, in any event, the sheet for the last day on which he drove during the previous week, − the driver card if he holds one, and − print-outs from the control device defined in Appendix 1B relating to the periods of time indicated in paragraph 3, second indent, (a), (b), (c) and (d) if he drove a vehicle fitted with such a control device during the period referred to in the first indent of this paragraph. (b) Where the driver drives a vehicle fitted with a control device in conformity with Appendix 1B, he must be able to produce, whenever an inspecting officer so requests: − the driver card of which he is the holder and, − the record sheets corresponding to the same period as the one referred to in the first indent of subparagraph (a) during which he drove a vehicle fitted with a control device in conformity with Appendix 1. (c) An authorized inspecting officer may check compliance with the Agreement by analysis of the record sheets, of the displayed or printed data which have been recorded by the control device or by the driver card or, failing this, by analysis of any other supporting document that justifies non-compliance with a provision, such as those laid down in article 13
