1. HEARING Working conditions of mobile workers in transport
Brussels
October 16th 2017

2. ROAD PACKAGE – POSTING OF DRIVERS
EU PROPOSAL:
Minimum wage and minimum paid annual holidays applicable in case of posting
Definition of posting: + 3 days in host MS driver no longer than 3 days in host MS ≠ posting
Clarification needed:
Transit = never posting. Should explicitly be mentioned
Minimum wage – daily allowances?

3. ROAD PACKAGE – POSTING OF DRIVERS
UETR VISION
Positive element: definition of posting
Clear rules for counting days
However: 3-day rule is disadvantage for mainly SME in small MS; companies in peripheral MS drivers pass through several MS in one month.
Will lead to huge administrative burden for company
Will lead to uncertainty for drivers.

4. ROAD PACKAGE – POSTING OF DRIVERS
Journey Spain – Netherlands:
Spanish law (home country)
France: transit
Belgium: transit
Netherlands: 0,5day posting

5. ROAD PACKAGE – POSTING OF DRIVERS
Return journey Netherlands – Spain:
Netherlands: posting (= dutch minimum wage)
Belgium: unloading = posting (Belgian minimum wage)
France: unloading=posting (French minimum wage)
Return Spain: Spanish law

6. ROAD PACKAGE – POSTING OF DRIVERS
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN
Positive: no more representative needed
UETR pleads for:
One single European registration platform
Possibility to upload documents instead of in cabin

7. ROAD PACKAGE – POSTING OF DRIVERS
REMARK Current problems are caused by enormous differences in labour cost, due to differences in social security Current proposals will not fundamentally modify labour cost differences
