UNECE / 21-22 October 2009CORTE-AETR 005 2009 slides Geneva meeting 21 & 22 October 09

Brief presentation of CORTE

Genesis of CORTE

Setting up of an informal group of experts (called for some yearsthe EU Enforcers Group) initiated by the EC DG Tren in 1997 todeal with enforcement of commercial vehicles

From 1997 to 1999 : definition of control officers needs as far as digital tachograph was concerned

From 1999 to 2004 : analysis of the different ways of enforcing Drivers Hours Rules throughout Europe and proposals for amending the existing EU texts

2 Setting up of CORTE

In 2004, Member States enforcement authorities decided to transform their unofficial group of experts into an official one in order:

to develop more formal activities together with the EC, the UNECE (AETR) and national authorities

to enlarge their activities so that as to cover road safety issues as well

An international association has been set up in April 2005

with statutes and rules of order

a Board and a General Assembly

based in Brussels

submitted to Belgian law

expected at mid-term to gather all AETR enforcement authorities

opened to NGOs and industry

Founding members:

Hans DRIJER CORTE / Vehicle Inspectorates (NL)

Agenda

We will address:

1) The legal framework

2) Implementing the digital tachograph system: the logical steps to follow

3) Which support can the AETR countries benefit from?

The legal framework

1-1: EU rules and their evolution

1-2: AETR rules

1-3: Practicalities

1-4: Consequences of not meeting the AETR deadlines

Considering the constant increase of:

registration of passenger cars registration of commercial vehicles

as a consequence of this, the constant increase of:

road traffic congestion road traffic accidents fatalities and injuries the number of heavy vehicles involved in fatalities

the EU legislator has decided in 1969 to regulate the professional drivers activities for the very first time.

Regulation (EEC) n 543/69, Official Journal L 77, page 49 (see http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/lex/en/index.htm)

First generation of recording equipment In the EUThis Regulation aimed mainly at:

limiting driving time allowed by day and by week obliging professional drivers to record their activities through a recording equipment called tachograph or, alternatively, to use a kind of booklet

In the meantime, the EU signed in 1970 under the auspices of the United Nations an agreement called AETR extending the use of the recording equipment to the European but non EU Members (former Eastern countries, former Soviet republics, Balkan countries, etc)

For EU drivers, the use of recording equipment became mandatoryincluding outside the EU whilst for non EU AETR drivers, the use of recording equipment became mandatory for international journeys only

The AETR agreement foresees that each change of the recordingequipment decided by the EU has to be implemented at AETR level so that each generation of recording equipment, as presented hereinafter, has also been the one used at AETR level

This Regulation changed considerably the drivers behaviour

But the recording equipment was not yet mandatory in the sense that booklets could be used instead

Therefore, to avoid any distortion of competition between transport operators, the EU legislator decided to amend the 1969 Regulation in 1985 and to introduce a recording equipment on a mandatorily basis for every professional driver

Except for very few exceptionsRegulation (EEC) n 3821/85, Official Journal L 370, page 8See http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLEG:1985R3821:20070411:EN:PDF

This new Regulation:

was much more demanding with drivers (in terms of driving, working, availability and rest times)

increased the number of data collected by the tachograph through the charts used to record data (speed, time, distances, names of drivers/ co-drivers, locations, vehicle registration numbers, etc have to be recorded and stored)

introduced new obligations for transport operators (in terms of breakdown or faulty operation of their tachograph)

introduced more stringent requirements for the repair workshops to ensure a proper calibration of these recording equipments

First generationSecond generationOver the time, the recordingequipment evolved and frommechanical became electronic

But both generationsare anyway working with paper discs

Nevertheless, it became rapidly clear that analogue tachographs were tampered (paper discs not used, destroyed, withdrawn during journeys, parameters mechanically or electromagnetically altered, etc).

Whereas experience has shown that the economic pressures and competition in road transport have led some drivers employed by road haulage companies to flout certain rules, particularly those concerning the driving and rest times laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) n 3820/85 of 20 December 1985 on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport;

Whereas blatant infringements and fraud present a road safety hazard and are unacceptable for reasons of competition for the individual driver who does respect the rules;

[]

Whereas to put an end to the most common abuses of the present system, it is therefore necessary to introduce new advanced equipment [];

Whereas the total security of the system and its components is essential if recording equipment is to function efficiently;

Recitals 2, 3, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) n 2135/98

The EU legislator decided therefore to introduce a new kind of recording equipmentEncryption of data

In short:Regulation (EEC) n 543/69

Regulation (EEC) n 3821/85

Regulation (EC) n 2135/98

Commission Regulation .

2nd generation of digital tachograph system 2011 in the EU

The legal framework


1-2: AETR rules

1-3: Practicalities


Persons and goods are transported everywhere in Europe

To cover these situations, an international agreement has been signed under the auspices of the United Nations on 1 July 1970, known under the acronym AETR.

European Agreement concerning the Work of Crews of Vehicles engaged in International Road Transport

See http://www.unece.org/trans/main/sc1/sc1doc_2004.html

Legislative texts applicable at EU and AETR level:

EUAETRRegulation (EC) n 561/2006Drivers Hours rules

Regulation (EEC) n 3821/85Tachograph rules

Annex 1B to Regulation (EEC) n 3821/85Digital tachograph and tachograph cards technical specificationsAETRAnnex to the AETRAppendix 1B to the AETR

At AETR levelFor the core of the agreementunanimity is required for any amendment to be adopted

At AETR levelThe new Article 22 bis of the AETR states for the technical specifications that:

Article 22 bis - Procedure for the amendment of Appendix 1B1. Appendix 1B of the Annex to the present Agreement shall be amended according to the procedure defined in the present article.

2. Any amendment proposal to the introductory articles of Appendix 1B shall be adopted by the Working Party on Road Transport of the Economic Commission for Europe by a majority of the Contracting Parties present and voting. Any amendment thus adopted will be transmitted by the secretariat of the Working Party to the Secretary-General for notification to all Contracting Parties. It shall enter into force three months after the date of notification to Contracting Parties.

At AETR level3. Appendix 1B, adapted for the present Agreement from Annex IB of Regulation (EEC) 3821/85 as cited in article 10 of the present Agreement, depending directly on evolutions introduced into this Annex by the European Union, any amendment made to this Annex shall be applicable to Appendix 1B under the following conditions:

the secretariat of the Working Party on Road Transport of the Economic Commission for Europe will officially inform the competent authorities of all Contracting Parties of the publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities of the amendments introduced to Annex IB of the Community Regulation and at the same time will communicate this information to the Secretary-General accompanied by a copy of the relevant texts.

these amendments shall enter directly into force for Appendix 1B threemonths after the date of communication to Contracting Parties of the information.

When do non EU-AETR countries have to introduce the digital tachograph system?

Article 13 - Transitional provisions

1. All the new provisions of the present Agreement, including its Annex and Appendices 1B and 2, relating to the introduction of a digital control device, shall become mandatory for countries which are Contracting Parties to this Agreement at latest four years after the date of entry into force of the relevant amendments resulting from the procedure specified in article 21.

In consequence, all vehicles covered by this Agreement, put into service for the first time after the expiry of this period, shall be equipped with a control device conforming to these new requirements.

()

Date of adoption of these amendments: 16 June 2006Date of entry into force in the non EU-AETR countries: 16 June 2010

Article 13 - Transitional provisions

2. (a) The Contracting Parties shall take the necessary steps to be able to issue the driver cardsreferred to in the Annex to the present Agreement, as amended, at latest three months before the expiry of the four-year deadline referred to in paragraph 1.

This minimum period ofthree months shall also be complied with in the event of the implementation by a Contracting Party of the provisions relating to the digital control device in conformity with Appendix 1B to this Annex before the expiry of the four-year deadline.

()

Deadline for the introduction of the digital tachograph in the non EU-AETR countries = 16 June 2010Deadline to issue tachograph cards = 16 March 2010

What are the transitional measures foreseen in between today and the deadlines by which non EU-AETR countries have to introduce the digital tachograph system on their territory?

Article 14

1. Pursuant to article 13, paragraph 2 (b) of the Agreement, drivers who are driving a vehicle registered in a Contracting Party and to whom the competent authorities have not yet been able to issue the driver cards and who, during the transitional period referred to in paragraph 1 of this article, drive in international traffic with a vehicle fitted with a digital control device in accordance with Appendix 1B to the Annex, must be able to produce, whenever an inspecting officer so requests, the printouts and/or the record sheets for the current week and, in any event, the printout and/or record sheet for the last day on which he drove during the previous week.

If a driver has his normal residence in a non EU-AETR country where cards are not availableand that he has to drive a vehicle fitted with a digital tachographhe can lawfully do it as long as that he can produce printouts

BUT printouts are of some use only if:

the digital tachograph is activated

the digital tachograph is properly calibrated

WHILST both activation and calibration are operations requiring the useof a workshop card

which in the present situation is not available since this Article addresses cases where:

a driver is living in a country where cards are not availablebut where he has to drive a vehicle fitted with a digital tachograph

See printouts

The legal framework


1-2: AETR rules

1-3: Practicalities


Practical approach proposed (see ECE/TRANS/SC.1/2006/8)

In practise (1):

vehicle manufacturers are supposed to NOT deliver vehicles with inactivated digital tachographsWould they comply with this requirement, digital tachographsshould at least be ready to record (inaccurate?) drivers activities For various reasons, they often do They have been duly informed to do some special efforts towards countries where cards are not yet available

In practise (2):

Even if activated, digital tachographs need to be calibrated so as, among others, to measure speed and distances accurately

Calibration, like activation, requires the use of a workshop card

Proposal: tolerate that the first calibration (and activation ?) is (are) undertaken during the first journey to or through a country where approved workshops have been issued with workshop cards

- Idem in case of tachograph breakdown

Expected placefor the (activation and) calibration to take place

Unexpected place for the (activation and) calibration to take place

The legal framework


1-2: AETR rules

1-3: Practicalities


The two main problems are as follows:

1) Transport operators would use illegal recording equipments

Data not available for enforcement purposesDrivers not controllableThreat for road safety and fair competition throughout EuropeProhibition of their vehicles after 16 March/16 June 2010 in the EU/EEA countries?

2) Data inaccessible for freight and fleet management

Data potentially stored in the tachograph internal memory for one yearCannot be downloaded without company cardsPrintouts would produce anonymous data if anyPotential overall management problems for transport companies

2-2: Approving and auditing workshops

2-3: Enforcing the use of the digital tachograph system

Card issuing

By Armand BIBERICH (SNCT Luxembourg) Birgit SV (STA Sweden) Marja VAN DER WELLE (Vehicle Inspectorates Netherlands)

Legal bases for issuing cards:

Council Regulation (EEC) n 3821/85 of 20 December 1985 on recording equipment in road transport as amended by Council Regulation (EC) n 2135/98 of 24 September 1998

Commission Regulation (EC) n 1360/2002 of 13 June 2002 adapting for the seventh time to technical progress Council Regulation (EEC) n 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport commonly called Annex IB

AETR

But: What happens in between??

How may a Digital Tachograph card issuing system be implemented?Its caracteristics are as follows:

1) Some steps are unique processes

2) Other steps have to be repeated occasionally on a regular basis

3) Finally, some steps have to be repeated for every card issued

The implementation of a Card issuing system is a multi-step process !

The aim of this presentation is threefold:

to give an overview about the process steps involved to set up a Digital Tachograph Card Issuing System, to indicate their chronological order and their frequency

and to show the responsibility of the actors involved

1st Step: Implementing Legislation

ActionResponsibleFrequencyCreation and introduction of international legislation.EC & AETRUnique *)Transpose international legislation in national legislation including identification of the Countrys Responsible Authority for card issuing (CRA = MSA in EU-MS).Countrys competent authoritiesUnique *)Informing the EC AETR accordingly and designating the competent persons .CRA (MSA)Unique *)*) Unless political circumstances cause changes in legislation

1st Step: Implementing Legislation

2nd Step: Designation of Key players

ActionResponsibleFrequencyAppointment of competent laboratory acting as European Root Certification Authority (ERCA).ECUnique *)Appointment of the organization in charge of the practical aspects of card issuing (CIA). It is not excluded that the CRA (MSA) takes the role of the CIA.CRA (MSA)Unique *)*) Eventually within the term of the contract of the two contracting parties

2nd Step: Designation of Key players

3rd Step: Implementing Card issuing structure and defining security policy

ActionResponsibleFrequencyDefining ERCA Security policy.JRC/ERCAUnique *)Drafting countrys national Certificate Authority policy to be approved against the ERCA Security policy.CRA/MSA - JRCUnique **)Designates manufacturer of the raw tachograph cards. In general, this step is subject to a tendering procedure.CIAUnique *)Appoint a Card personalizer (CP) and a Country Certification Authority (CCA) within or outside the MSA (tendering procedure)MSA/CIAUnique *)Implementing the Card issuing structure in CIA, e.g.: CIAUnique *)*) Eventually within the term of the contract of the two contracting parties**) Subject to a periodical revision


ActionResponsibleFrequencyImplementing the Card issuing structure in CIA, e.g.:

Setting up a frontdesk and a card distributing system,Implementing working procedures (See Best Practice Guidelines issued by MIDT),Connect to national driving licences database and create tachograph card database,Connect to the tachograph card databases of the participating countries (e.g. TACHONET).CIAUnique *)*) Eventually within the term of the contract of the two contracting parties

4th Step: Type approval of tachograph cards

ActionResponsibleFrequencyArrange for functional and security testing of the card model.Card manuf.Unique *)Execute functional tests according to the legislation and issue functional certificate.

With digital tachographs

Data can be downloaded by control officers if issued with control cards Control card ConnectorCable

Alternative for the control officers to get access to the recording equipments and cards data : printouts

6 types of print-outs, which can be selected through the recording equipment :

2 relate to the drivers activities: one comes from the recording equipment, the other one from the driver card;

2 relate to the events and faults: one from the recording equipment, the other one from the driver card;

1 concerns the technical data (vehicle, recording equipment, etc);

1 concerns the over speeding.

Data analysis

Control officers need therefore to know with the digital tachograph at least as much as they know with the analogue tachograph:

drivers name vehicle registration number start and end of the journey time speed distance odometer drivers activities

If the digital tachograph is activated and calibrated, control officerscan at least base their checks on print-outs

Used without driver cards, digital tachographs produce nevertheless anonymous print-outs which can easily be used to defeat the system

Transitional measures (i.e. use of digital tachographs without driver cards) should therefore be implemented for a limited period of time

See examples of print-outs

Control officers also need to check the validity of the driver card produced by the driver is any

The driver may have flouted the rules and be using a non-valid card(previously declared lost or stolen for example)

Thank you for your attention

*****************Need to have a process in place for approving workshops in order to meet the legislation. Here are the basic requirements which need to be considered by AETR countries when approving workshops that comply with AETR rulesa suitable Approval Process looking at 2-7.When approving sites, a suitable application form which assists them in navigating through the Approval Process is useful. Key elements of the tachograph scheme are that the centre and staff have to be of good repute as they are sealing and calibrating legally required systems which are used as evidence of Drivers Hours infringements. This level of trust/ repute can be dealt with in the Approval stage.If the AETR countries adopt a detailed procedure looking at site plans, equipment, staff training etc it is often useful having a preliminary visit to the site to advise the owner of the rules and to check whether the site is likely to be approved. It is common practice to ensure that the workshop has specific minimum equipment that meets the authorising bodys standards. The equipment is best dealt with as a separate entity which can be approved to an individual AETR countrys requirements. List of basic equipment that is required by a centre.So, by this point, we have a site, equipment that is approved, but no one to use it.so the next step is to have trained technicians. The options are as above depending on whether the government body is looking to be closely involved or defer some responsibility.

Good repute/technician skills etcSecurity requirements for issuing cards are essential as the cards give access to all calibration facilities and would allow an unauthorised person the ability to calibrate a tachograph, if it wasa lost and found by an unscrupulous operator.Periodic INTERNAL audit required to ensure standards are maintained. External annual audit to check they confirm with original approval.Facility to remove/discipline centres and technicians
