Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Regulation (EC) 561/2006 establishes the common rules on driving times, breaks and rest periods for road transport in the European Union. However, the regulation itself empowers each Member State to set stricter requirements (such as longer rests or shorter driving times) on one indispensable condition: that the transport is carried out entirely within its national borders. If the service involves international transport or crossing borders, the general Community regime must be complied with without fail to ensure equal working and competition conditions.
