When the EU's new truck regulations were adopted four years ago, they included requirements for trucks to return to the countries where they are registered at regular intervals.
It's to get rid of this system with a low-wage proletariat driving around Europe and only being formally registered in a country with low wages and low taxes, says Danielsson.
He calls it "bloody awful" that the EU court now believes that the rule must be removed, since the legislators have not been able to show that the measure is proportionate.
It's outrageous that the EU court is once again supporting wage dumping. If you only drive traffic in Sweden and the Nordic countries, you should register the truck here, thinks Danielsson.
The other parts of the truck regulations will remain in place – despite several countries in Eastern Europe having turned to the EU court to stop the entire package. Danielsson is still critical.
If we're going to open up a system where the EU court goes in and rejects all substantial changes that the European Parliament makes to legislation, we're on a very slippery slope, he says.
The EU's so-called "mobility package" was finally approved in the summer of 2020, aiming to modernize the rules for truck traffic within the EU.
The package includes, among other things, updated rules for driving and rest times, drivers' home travel when working abroad, and not least the debated temporary domestic transports – the so-called cabotage rules.
