The Trans­Fair Policy Brief high­lights key fin­dings and pro­ject out­co­mes, pro­vi­des good prac­tice input for inspec­tion aut­ho­ri­ties and makes pro­po­sals for an effec­tive and prac­ti­ca­ble regu­la­tive frame­work to tackle labour law infrin­ge­ments in cross-bor­der road transport.
 
 
The Bel­gian trade union and Trans­Fair pro­ject part­ner BTB-ABVV publis­hed a book­let in 10 lan­guages assis­ting dri­vers to use the vehicle’s tacho­graph to docu­ment their working, avai­la­bi­lity and dri­ving time.

 

A news­let­ter briefly resu­mes the Trans­Fair fin­dings and actions. The news­let­ter is avail­able in Eng­lish, Ger­man, Slo­ve­nian, Czech and Polish.
