A disadvantage for foreign freight forwarders

In March the German parliament gave a green light to a law, according to which drivers aren’t allowed to stay in their truck for their 45-hour rest period. MEP Andor Deli (EPP Group) is of the opinion that this step doesn’t serve the interest of drivers, it is simply a protectionist measure. At the EP’s plenary session the MEP asked member states to revise this law, so that foreign shipping service providers aren’t punished in Germany until the proper infrastructural conditions are created for keeping the law.
