Minimum requirements on minimum breaks and daily and weekly rest periods in the occasional passenger transport sector
This dossier sets minimum requirements on breaks and daily and weekly rest periods in the occasional passenger transport sector. Amendments address the sector's seasonality, the splitting of breaks and postponement of daily rest periods within limits, while insisting flexibility must not jeopardise road safety or working conditions; checks by national authorities and the European Labour Authority feature, and one amendment rejects the Commission proposal.

Plenary votes
5 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
