Brief presentation of CORTE

Genesis of CORTE Setting up of an informal group of experts (called for some years the “EU Enforcers Group) initiated by the EC – DG Tren in 1997 to deal 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: - Denmark : National Police Ireland : Department of Transport Sweden: Swedish Road Administration (SRA) UK : Vehicle & Operator Service Agency (VOSA)

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

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

This 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 First generation of recording equipment In the EU

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 mandatory including 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 recording equipment 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 exceptions Regulation (EEC) n° 3821/85, Official Journal L 370, page 8 See

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

Over the time, the recording equipment evolved and from
mechanical became electronic First generation Second generation

But both generations are 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 equipment Encryption of data

Commission Regulation ….
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

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

Legislative texts applicable at EU and AETR level:
Regulation (EC) n° 561/2006 Drivers’ Hours’ rules Regulation (EEC) n° 3821/85 Tachograph rules Annex 1B to Regulation (EEC) n° 3821/85 Digital tachograph and tachograph cards technical specifications AETR Annex to the AETR Appendix 1B to the AETR

At AETR level For the core of the agreement…
unanimity is required for any amendment to be adopted

At AETR level The new Article 22 bis of the AETR states for the technical specifications that: “Article 22 bis - Procedure for the amendment of Appendix 1B 1. 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 level 3. 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 three months after the date of communication to Contracting Parties of the information. (…)

At AETR level In conclusion: AETR agreement unanimity
Annex to the AETR Appendix 1B Sub-appendices Regulation (EC) n° 561/2006 unanimity Regulation (EEC) n° 3821/85 unanimity Annex 1B / 3821/85 Majority of those present and voting Appendices / 3821/85 Automatically adopted at UNECE level once adopted at EU level

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 2006 Date 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 cards referred 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 of three 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 2010 Deadline 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?

If a driver has his normal residence in a non EU-AETR
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 available and that he has to drive a vehicle fitted with a digital tachograph he 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 use of 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 available but where he has to drive a vehicle fitted with a digital tachograph

See printouts

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

In practise (1): vehicle manufacturers are supposed to NOT deliver vehicles with inactivated digital tachographs Would they comply with this requirement, digital tachographs should 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 place for the (activation and) calibration to take place

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

The two main problems are as follows:
1) Transport operators would use illegal recording equipments Data not available for enforcement purposes Drivers not controllable Threat for road safety and fair competition throughout Europe Prohibition 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 year Cannot be downloaded without company cards Printouts would produce anonymous data if any Potential overall management problems for transport companies

1) The legal framework 2) Implementing the digital tachograph system: the logical steps to follow 3) Which support can the AETR countries benefit from?

2) Implementing the digital tachograph system: the logical steps
to follow 2-1 : Issuing cards 2-2: Approving and auditing workshops 2-3: Enforcing the use of the digital tachograph system

Card issuing By Armand BIBERICH (SNCT – Luxembourg)
Birgit SÄÄV (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 74

But: What happens in between??

The implementation of a Card issuing system is a multi-step process !
How may a Digital Tachograph card issuing system be implemented? The implementation of a Card issuing system is a multi-step process ! 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 76

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 77

Country’s competent authorities
1st Step: Implementing Legislation Action Responsible Frequency Creation and introduction of international legislation. EC & AETR Unique *) Transpose international legislation in national legislation including identification of the Country’s Responsible Authority for card issuing (CRA = MSA in EU-MS). Country’s competent authorities Informing the EC –AETR accordingly and designating the competent persons . CRA (MSA) *) Unless political circumstances cause changes in legislation 78

1st Step: Implementing Legislation
79

2nd Step: Designation of Key players
Action Responsible Frequency Appointment of competent laboratory acting as European Root Certification Authority (ERCA). EC Unique *) 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) *) Eventually within the term of the contract of the two contracting parties 80

2nd Step: Designation of Key players
81

3rd Step: Implementing Card issuing structure and defining security policy
Action Responsible Frequency Defining ERCA Security policy. JRC/ERCA Unique *) Drafting country’s national Certificate Authority policy to be approved against the ERCA Security policy. CRA/MSA - JRC Unique **) Designates manufacturer of the raw tachograph cards. In general, this step is subject to a tendering procedure. CIA Appoint a Card personalizer (CP) and a Country Certification Authority (CCA) within or outside the MSA (tendering procedure) MSA/CIA Implementing the Card issuing structure in CIA, e.g.: <see next slide> *) Eventually within the term of the contract of the two contracting parties **) Subject to a periodical revision 82

Action Responsible Frequency Implementing 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). CIA Unique *) *) Eventually within the term of the contract of the two contracting parties 83

84

National type approv. body
4th Step: Type approval of tachograph cards Action Responsible Frequency Arrange for functional and security testing of the card model. Card manuf. Unique *) Execute functional tests according to the legislation and issue functional certificate. Laboratory appointed Execute security tests according to the legislation and issue security certificate. ITSEC - Body Execute interoperability tests according to the legislation and issue interoperability certificate. JRC Issues type approval certificate. National type approv. body *) For a given technical version of the card model 85

4th Step: Type approval of tachograph cards
86

Country Certification Authority
5th Step: Issuing and signing country’s national certificate Action Responsible Frequency Issuing of the country’s national certificate. Country Certification Authority Biennial Signing country’s national certificate JRC/ERCA 87

5th Step: Issuing and signing country’s national certificate
88

6th Step: Start issuing tachograph cards
Action Responsible Frequency Application validation (see also Best Practice Guidelines issued by MIDT). CIA Every card Identify the card holder Ensure uniqueness of every driver card Produce card certificate CCA Produce and personalize cards CIA / CP Distribute and hand over cards CIA - applicant Revok card certificate Every card being invalidated *) *) lost, stolen, malfunctioning, confiscated etc. 89

Approval of workshops By Neil BARLOW (VOSA – UK)

Content Tachograph Scheme Purpose Workshop Approval Procedures
Workshop Technician Authorisation Workshop Equipment Workshop Card Issuing Workshop Audit Workshop Discipline Record of Workshop Information

Purpose of the Tachograph Scheme
Ensure Infrastructure in place to enable tachographs to be installed and accurately maintained in vehicles Ensure correct issue and secure use of workshop smart cards Ensure correct inspection and accurate calibration of tachographs in accordance with AETR Monitor performance of workshops

Workshop Approval Procedures
Approval process Facilities and equipment requirements Security requirements Technician training standards Inspection/Calibration procedures Disciplinary procedures Funding 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 rules……a suitable Approval Process looking at 2-7….

Workshop Approval Procedure
Application form Site plan (safe, inspection pit, rollers..etc..) Evidence of permission to modify/use the site by owner Sound financial standing References Good repute: declaration of non-conviction Evidence to show technical support, training, equipment and periodic inspection of equipment. 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 Driver’s Hours infringements. This level of trust/ repute can be dealt with in the Approval stage.

Workshop Approval Procedure (cont.)
Site visit to discuss plan Does it meet the requirements of the manual? In order to gain approval: Site completed in accordance with plans Trained technician Quality Control system in place 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.

Facilities and Equipment
Building containing: Reception Secure safe for storage of cards Calibration Bay (contains equipment for determining “W” and “L”. e.g. rollers) Inspection pit Separate and secure workshop adjacent to the calibration bay External 20m track (as described in the ATCM) It is common practice to ensure that the workshop has specific minimum equipment that meets the authorising body’s standards. The equipment is best dealt with as a separate entity which can be approved to an individual AETR country’s requirements.

Required Equipment Roller test rig (including Roller Brake Test conversions) Programmer / Pulse counter Downloading equipment Additional equipment Chart reader Portable drive unit PC and software List of basic equipment that is required by a centre.

Approve Training Options: Train internally, contract it out, or have 3rd party training approved by and audited by government body e.g. Course Content agreed with VOSA Examination at the end VOSA Approved Training Organisation Training Facilities Assessments of course delivery by VOSA Co-operative arrangements for regular reviews of training VOSA notified by Training Organisation when a technician has been trained. 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.

Approve Technicians Nominated Technicians must : Be of Good Repute
Provide a signed declaration of suitability Have appropriate skills and technical background Have a current tachograph training certificate – renewed every 3 years Good repute/technician skills etc…

Workshop Card Issue Controlled issue, due to security risks associated with the card. PIN protected PIN issued to home address of the technician Workshop card issued to the technician’s work address Card to be stored securely in a safe overnight Slam box storage available for card during the day Security 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.

Workshop Quality Control/Internal Audit
Designated quality manager Routine Quality Control Checks Routine Audit Checks Ensuring secure use of smart cards Ensuring staff remain properly trained Periodic INTERNAL audit required to ensure standards are maintained.

Workshop Annual Audit Government examiner will visit the site annually
Check for record of plaques issued Record of tampering Seals, pliers, workshop card etc…securely stored Notices displayed Technicians are up to date with training Equipment has been calibrated External annual audit to check they confirm with original approval.

Workshop Disciplinary Procedures
Inability to calibrate tachographs Fraud or deliberate incorrect calibration of tachographs If bribes accepted by technicians Found guilty of a violent/intimidating crime Failure to keep suitable records and comply with the security requirements of the ATCM Calibrations performed by unauthorised staff Facility to remove/discipline centres and technicians

Workshop Disciplinary Procedures
Options: Advice A formal warning Letter of Contemplated Withdrawal Additional Training Disqualification Suspension

Record of Workshop Information
A Database Containing: Centre address Nominated technicians Designated site manager Seal number for the site-provided to European Commission periodically Workshop card numbers Annual reports completed by Traffic Examiners Copies of communication with the workshop

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

Alternative for the control officers to get access to the recording
equipment’s and card’s 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: driver’s 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 officers
can 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) At EU-EEA level, exchange of data between card issuing authorities through TACHOnet

TACHOnet Business Actors
Clerks working for National Card Issuing Authorities (CIA) Control officers working for National Enforcement Authorities CIA Applies for a card, asks for exchange, declare card status modification Issues, Checks, Modifies TACHOnet XML Messaging System Owns & uses Checks, Modifies Truck driver Controls during road checks Control officer Hans DRIJER

At enforcement level, what is needed for your control officers is them:
to be trained to be issued with control cards to be equipped to have access to drivers’ and workshops’ cards data
