FAIR MOBILITY - CLEAR AND BALANCED RULES FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT Clear and more balanced rules for posted workers is needed. Also in the transport sector. The new rules on posted workers and the Mobility Package proposed by the European Commission are important steps in the right direction towards better working conditions and fair competition. As the trade union representing drivers in Denmark, we agree with the Commission, and a number of important stakeholders in the transport sector, that the rules for posted workers must be adapted to fit the highly mobile and cross-border nature of international transport whilst maintaining the aim of ensuring clear, fair and enforceable rules. In this context 3F Transport proposes a new approach to bridging the posting of workers directive to the transport sector. 3F Transport believes that this proposal accommodates the various concerns and needs that have been voiced in the debate since May 2017. The proposal targets international transport. But it cannot stand alone. Clear and balanced rules for international drivers must be backed by rules on driving time and rest periods, tachographs, cabotage and combined transports, which all facilitate better enforcement in the Member States not least digitally. Yours sincerely, Jan Villadsen, President of 3F Transport 2 Fair Mobility Clear and balanced rules for international transport FAIR MOBILITY - CLEAR AND BALANCED RULES FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT Clear and more balanced rules for posted workers is needed.
