EU: the new form of registration of truck drivers’ activities that aren’t justified by tachograph records was published in the OJ

New form. The European Commission published, in its decision 2007/230/EC, a new standard assessment form, which turned out to not be enough to cover all cases where the driver couldn’t record their activity with a tachograph. This form used the elements of article 11 of the 2006 directive setting minimum standards for the harmonization of truck drivers’ working conditions. The provision notably mentions sick leaves, annual leaves or even cases where the driver drives a vehicle which isn’t included in the scope of the existing legislation. The form annexed to the decision of December 14 adds the case where the driver “performed work other than driving” or “was available.”
