Article 1Subject matterThis Directive lays down minimum conditions for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 561/2006Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport and amending Council Regulations (EEC) No 3821/85 and (EC) No 2135/98 and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 (OJ L 102, 11.4.2006, p. 1). and (EU) No 165/2014Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 February 2014 on tachographs in road transport, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport and amending Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport (OJ L 60, 28.2.2014, p. 1). of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive 2002/15/EC of the European Parliament and of the CouncilDirective 2002/15/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2002 on the organisation of the working time of persons performing mobile road transport activities (OJ L 80, 23.3.2002, p. 35)..
Article 2Checking systems1.Member States shall organise a system of appropriate and regular checks on correct and consistent implementation, as referred to in Article 1, both at the roadside and at premises of undertakings of all transport categories.These checks shall cover each year a large and representative cross-section of mobile workers, drivers, undertakings and vehicles falling within the scope of Regulations (EC) No 561/2006 and (EU) No 165/2014 and of mobile workers and drivers falling within the scope of Directive 2002/15/EC. Roadside checks on compliance with Directive 2002/15/EC shall be limited to aspects that can be checked efficiently through the tachograph and related recording equipment. A comprehensive check on compliance with Directive 2002/15/EC may only be carried out at the premises.Member States shall ensure that a coherent national enforcement strategy is applied on their territory. For this purpose, Member States may designate a body for the coordination of actions taken under Articles 4 and 6, in which case the Commission and the other Member States shall be informed thereof.2.In so far as this is not already the case, Member States shall, not later than 1 May 2007, provide authorised inspecting officers with appropriate legal powers to enable them correctly to discharge their inspection obligations as required by this Directive.3.Each Member State shall organise checks in such a way that at least 3 % of days worked by drivers of vehicles falling within the scope of Regulations (EC) No 561/2006 and (EU) No 165/2014 are checked. During the roadside check, the driver shall be allowed to contact the head office, the transport manager or any other person or entity in order to provide, before the end of the roadside check, any evidence which is found to be missing on board; this is without prejudice to the driver’s obligation to ensure the proper use of tachograph equipment.From 1 January 2012 the Commission may, by means of an implementing act, increase the minimum percentage to 4 %, provided that the statistics collected pursuant to Article 3 show that, on average, more than 90 % of all vehicles checked are equipped with a digital tachograph. In making its decision, the Commission shall also take into account the effectiveness of existing enforcement measures, in particular the availability of digital tachograph data at the premises of undertakings. That implementing act shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 12(2).Not less than 15 % of the total number of the working days checked shall be checked at the roadside and not less than 30 % at the premises of undertakings. From 1 January 2008 not less than 30 % of the total number of the working days checked shall be checked at the roadside and not less than 50 % shall be checked at the premises of undertakings.3a.Each Member State shall organise checks on compliance with Directive 2002/15/EC, taking into account the risk rating system provided for in Article 9 of this Directive. Those checks shall be targeted at an undertaking if one or more of its drivers have been continuously or seriously infringing Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 or (EU) No 165/2014.4.The information submitted to the Commission in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 and Article 13 of Directive 2002/15/EC shall include the number of drivers checked at the roadside, the number of checks at the premises of undertakings, the number of working days checked and the number and type of infringements reported, and shall indicate whether passengers or goods were transported.
Article 3StatisticsMember States shall ensure that statistics collected from the checks organised in accordance with Article 2(1) and (3) are broken down into the following categories:(a)for roadside checks:(i)type of road, namely whether it is a motorway, a national or a secondary road, and country of registration of the vehicle inspected, in order to avoid discrimination;(ii)type of tachograph: analogue or digital;(b)for checks at the premises:(i)type of transport activity, namely whether the activity is international or domestic, passenger or freight, own account or for hire or reward;(ii)size of company fleet;(iii)type of tachograph: analogue or digital.These statistics shall be submitted biennially to the Commission and shall be published in a report.The competent authorities in the Member States shall keep a record of the data collected for the previous year.Undertakings responsible for drivers shall keep, for a period of one year, the documents, records of results and other relevant data passed to them by the enforcement authorities concerning checks carried out on them at their premises and/or on their drivers at the roadside.The Commission shall, if required, further clarify, by means of implementing acts, the definitions of the categories mentioned under points (a) and (b) of the first paragraph. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 12(2).
Article 4Roadside checks1.Roadside checks shall be organised in various places and at any time and shall cover a sufficiently extensive part of the road network to make it difficult to avoid checkpoints.2.Member States shall ensure that:(a)sufficient provision is made for checkpoints on or nearby existing and planned roads and, if necessary, that service stations and other safe locations along motorways can function as checkpoints;(b)checks are carried out following a random rotation system, with an appropriate geographical balance.3.The points to be verified at roadside checks are set out in Part A of Annex I. Checks may focus on a specific point if the situation so requires.4.Without prejudice to Article 9(2), roadside checks shall be carried out without discrimination. In particular, enforcement officers shall not discriminate on any of the following grounds:(a)country of registration of vehicle;(b)country of residence of driver;(c)country of establishment of undertaking;(d)origin and destination of journey;(e)type of tachograph: analogue or digital.5.Enforcement officers shall be provided with:(a)a list of the principal points to be checked, as set out in Part A of Annex I;(b)standard checking equipment, as set out in Annex II.6.If, in a Member State, the findings of a roadside check on the driver of a vehicle registered in another Member State afford grounds for believing that infringements have been committed which cannot be established during the check owing to a lack of necessary data, the competent authorities of the Member States concerned shall assist each other in clarifying the situation.
Article 5Concerted checksMember States shall, at least six times per year, carry out concerted roadside checks on drivers and vehicles falling within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 or (EU) No 165/2014. Member States shall, in addition, endeavour to organise concerted checks at premises of undertakings.Such concerted checks shall be carried out at the same time by the enforcement authorities of two or more Member States, each operating in its own territory.
Article 6Checks at the premises of undertakings1.Checks at premises shall be planned in the light of past experience in relation to the various types of transport and undertakings. They shall also be carried out if serious infringements of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 or (EU) No 165/2014 or Directive 2002/15/EC have been detected at the roadside.2.Checks at premises shall cover the points listed in Part A and Part B of Annex I.3.Enforcement officers shall be provided with:(a)a list of the principal points to be checked, as set out in Parts A and B of Annex I;(b)standard checking equipment, as set out in Annex II.4.Enforcement officers in a Member State shall, in the course of the check take into account any information provided by the designated liaison body of another Member State, as referred to in Article 7(1), concerning the activities of the undertaking in question in that other Member State.5.For the purposes of paragraphs 1 to 4, checks carried out at the premises of the competent authorities, on the basis of relevant documents or data handed over by undertakings at the request of the said authorities, shall have the same status as checks carried out at the premises of undertakings.
Article 7Intracommunity liaison1.Member States shall designate a body which shall have the following tasks:(a)to ensure coordination with equivalent bodies in the other Member States concerned as regards actions taken under Article 5;(b)to forward the biennial statistical returns to the Commission under Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006;(c)to be primarily responsible for assisting the competent authorities of other Member States pursuant to Article 4(6);(d)to ensure exchange of information with the other Member States pursuant to Article 8 of this Directive with regard to the application of national provisions transposing this Directive and Directive 2002/15/EC.The body shall be represented on the Committee referred to in Article 12(1).2.Member States shall notify the Commission of the designation of this body and the Commission shall advise the other Member States accordingly.3.The exchange of data, of experience and of intelligence between Member States shall be actively promoted, primarily, but not exclusively through the Committee referred to in Article 12(1) and any such body as the Commission may designate by way of implementing acts. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 12(2).
Article 8Exchange of information1.Information made available bilaterally under Article 22(3) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 shall also be exchanged between the designated bodies notified to the Commission in accordance with Article 7 of this Directive:(a)at least once every six months after the entry into force of this Directive;(b)upon reasoned request by a Member State in individual cases.2.A Member State shall provide the information requested by another Member State pursuant to point (b) of paragraph 1 within 25 working days from the receipt of the request. A shorter time limit may be mutually agreed between the Member States. In urgent cases or in cases requiring only a simple consultation of registers, such as registers of a risk rating system, the requested information shall be provided within three working days.Where the requested Member State considers that the request is insufficiently reasoned, it shall inform the requesting Member State accordingly, within 10 working days from the receipt of the request. The requesting Member State shall further substantiate the request. Where the requesting Member State is unable to further substantiate the request, the requested Member State may reject the request.Where it is difficult or impossible to comply with a request for information or to carry out checks, inspections or investigations, the requested Member State shall inform the requesting Member State accordingly within 10 working days from the receipt of the request and provide reasons to duly justify that difficulty or impossibility. The Member States concerned shall discuss with one another with a view to finding a solution.In the event of persistent delays in the provision of information to the Member State to whose territory the worker is posted, the Commission shall be informed and shall take appropriate measures.3.The exchange of information provided for in this Article shall be implemented through the Internal Market Information System ("IMI"), established by Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) No 1024/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on administrative cooperation through the Internal Market Information System and repealing Commission Decision 2008/49/EC ("the IMI Regulation") (OJ L 316, 14.11.2012, p. 1).. This does not apply to information which Member States exchange through direct consultation of national electronic registers referred to in Article 16(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EC) No 1071/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing common rules concerning the conditions to be complied with to pursue the occupation of road transport operator and repealing Council Directive 96/26/EC (OJ L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 51)..
Article 9Risk rating system1.Member States shall introduce a risk rating system for undertakings based on the relative number and gravity of any infringement of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 or of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 or of national provisions transposing Directive 2002/15/EC that an individual undertaking has committed.By 2 June 2021 the Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, establish a common formula for calculating the risk rating of an undertaking. That common formula shall take into account the number, gravity and frequency of occurrence of infringements and the results of controls where no infringement has been detected, as well as whether a road transport undertaking has been using the smart tachograph, pursuant to Chapter II of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014, on all its vehicles. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 12(2) of this Directive.2.Undertakings with a high risk rating shall be checked more closely and more often. The criteria and detailed rules for implementing such a system shall be discussed in the Committee referred to in Article 12, with a view to establishing a system for the exchange of information on best practices.3.An initial list of infringements of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 and Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 and their weighting of gravity is set out in Annex III.With a view to establishing or updating the weighting of gravity of infringements of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 or (EU) No 165/2014, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 15a of this Directive to amend Annex III to take account of regulatory developments and road safety considerations.The category for the most serious infringements should include those in which failure to comply with the relevant provisions of Regulations (EC) No 561/2006 and (EU) No 165/2014 creates a serious risk of death or serious personal injury.4.In order to facilitate targeted roadside checks, the data contained in the national risk rating system shall be accessible to all the competent control authorities of the Member State concerned at the time of control.5.Member States shall make the information contained in their national risk rating system directly accessible through interoperable national electronic registers as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 to competent authorities of other Member States in accordance with Article 16(2) of that Regulation.
