The European Labour Authority (ELA) published recently the first two information leaflets for drivers and operators in the road transport sector. The language versions encompassing all EU languages as well as Albanian, Macedonian, Turkish, Russian and Ukrainian of both leaflets are now published. The leaflets form a part of ELA’s Framework for Actions on Road Transport, and they will be widely distributed in Member States during road transport inspections and information activities.

The first leaflet ‘posted drivers – know your rights and obligations’ covers information on the complex topic of posting of workers, in particular drivers.

The second leaflet ‘driving and resting time rules’ explains more in depth the key elements of legislation of the Mobility Package.

ELA announced a number of activities planned for 2022, including the set-up of co-ordinated information and awareness raising campaign on road transport. ELA’s campaign activities are currently being prepared in close co-operation with EU social partners and the Member States. The campaign will be launched in Fall 2022.
