SOUNDBITE (English), Wim van de CAMP (EPP, NL), Rapporteur, At this moment we have a very liberalised market in Europe. And we see a lot of rules which are not in force. For example, where do the drivers sleep? Do they sleep in a hotel, do they sleep in a safe parking place? Or do they sleep along the highways? These consequences but also in the posting of drivers with respect to when a driver is posted and when a driver is not posted is quite a mess. And with this mobility package, we tried to regulate it better. But in the meantime, we tried to respect the rules of the internal market.
