IRU and ETF agree to work on the 12-day derogation in coach tourism

Brussels – The International Road Transport Union (IRU) and the European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) as committed social partners favouring social dialogue recognise the importance of finding through a number of meetings an urgent joint solution for the 12 day derogation in EU driving and rest rules.

This must be a satisfactory solution for all parties ensuring road safety as well as the social and business needs of drivers and companies.

To achieve this within the current legislative process the ETF and IRU undertake to provide at the latest by mid May, an input to the European Institutions’ current drafting of the legislation needed to introduce an improved 12 day derogation.
