                                            3.     a los servicios de la CE que proporcionen respuesta s  oficiales urgentes a esas preguntas.    Hay   que   agradecer   que   se   obtuviese   respuesta  positiva,  aunque  no  completa,  y  que  con  ese  motivo  se haya publicado un conjunto de respuestas a 12 de   las  citadas  preguntas  en  el  sitio  web  de  la  CE  que  han sido traducidas en todos los idiomas oficiales  de  la  UE,  de  modo  que  puedan  ser  útiles  a  la  hora  de  defender  las  posibles  discrepancias  entre  empresas  de  transporte  y  autoridades  en  cualquier  país.  La  versión   en   español   de   dicho   documento   puede  encontrarla  usted  en  nuestra  web  haciendo  click  en  este  enlace:  http://www.astic.net/slides/slide/preguntas-y- respuestas-sobre- el -paquete- de - la -movilidad-1- 3447     Como  algunas  de  las  preguntas  iniciales  aún  no  han  sido    respondidas,    esperamos    verlas    aclaradas  también  lo  antes  posible  y  le  daremos  a  usted  y  al  resto     de     miembros     de     esta     asociación     la  correspondiente información.    Desde ASTIC hemos seguido aportando a IRU, y esta  organización  ha  seguido  recopilando  otros  puntos  poco  claros  con  respecto  a  la  interpretación  de  las  reglas  de  conducción  y  tiempo  de  descanso.  Con  el  fin de  enviar  una nueva  carta a  las  autoridades  de  Bruselas con “Preguntas Clave” en est e asunto de los  tiempos  de  conducción  y  descanso  y,  además,  pedir  a    los    servicios    de    la    CE    que    proporcionen  urgentemente  respuestas  oficiales  a  esas  preguntas.   Esta     colección     de     nuevas     cuestiones     puede  encontrarla,   si   tiene   interés   en   consultarla,   en  nuestra     web     a     través     del     siguiente     enlace:  http://www.astic.net/slides/slide/preguntas-sobre- las-nuevas-reglas- de -conduccion-y-tiempo- de - descanso-3448    Si  antes  del  mediodía  del  viernes  próximo  quiere  usted realizar  alguna  aportación a dicho conjunto d e  preguntas,  por  favor,  hágalo  enviando  un  email  a  [email protected]  y  procuraremos  que  se  incluya  en  la   carta   que,   como   decíamos,   se   va   a   enviar   con  urgencia a la CE.    
                                        
                                            4.     Además  de  las  preguntas  y  respuestas,  pediremos  que  incluyan  en  su  respuesta  pública  oficial  varios   ejemplos    sobre    cómo    hacer    uso    de    la    nueva  derogación  que  permite  dos  descansos  semanales  reducidos     consecutivos     para     el     transporte  internacional  de  mercancías  por  carretera .  Para  facilitar   esto,   se  le   propondrán   varios   escenarios  (véase     documento     adjunto     a     este     email)     y  solicitaremos  la  validación  de  la  legalidad  por  par te  de la CE a través de la respuesta oficial.    La   interpretación   común,   el   cumplimiento   y   la  aplicación   armonizada   en   toda   Europa   son   clave  para   una   implementación   exitosa   de   las   nuevas  reglas    de    conducción    y    tiempos    de    descanso.  Teniendo en cuenta la urgencia de la situación, dad o  que   esta   parte   del   Paquete   de   Movilidad   ya   es  aplicable  desde  agosto  de  2020,  se  va  a  pedir,  de  nuevo,  que  la  CE  pueda  proporcionar  urgentemente  las  aclaraciones  y  orientaciones  necesarias  a  todas   las   partes   interesadas   relevantes:   operadores   de  transporte,  conductores  y  autoridades  encargadas  de hacer cumplir la ley.    Además  de  las  cuestiones  de  interpretación  legal,  existe la  necesidad de seguridad jurídica también  con  respecto  al  tipo  de  infracción  y  las  sanciones  previstas     por    infracciones    de    las    normas    de  conducción  y  tiempos  de  descanso.  Dado  que  estas  disposiciones  son  nacionales,  difíciles  de  encontra r  y,  a  menudo,  no  están  disponibles  en  los  idiomas  comúnmente   comprendidos   por   los   conductores  internacionales,  pediremos  a  la  CE  que  recopile  y  publique  en  su  sitio  web  la  lista  de  infracciones,  su  clasificación  y  las  multas  aplicables  en  cada  Estado miembro de la UE.

Nº 32.21     Madrid,  10  de marzo de 2021    AC LARACIONES PAQUETE MOVILIDAD     Como  seguramente  conoce,  a  raíz  de  la  aprobación  del  llamado  “Mobility  Package”  el  pasado  verano,  desde   esta   asociación   se   emitieron   una   serie   de  informaciones  específicas  acerca  de  los  extremos  que   se   podían   considerar   de   mayor   relevancia  dentro de las muy amplias modificaciones que dicho  “paquete”  normativo  introduce  en  la  regulación  europea  del  transporte  por  carretera.  Puede  usted  encontrarlas         en         el         siguiente         enlace:  http://www.astic.net/slides/paquete- de -movilidad- 11     Quedan,  no  obstante,  numerosos  extremos  que  aún  requieren  aclaración  por  parte  de  las  autoridades  europeas. Hay que lamentar que esto sea así dado el  enorme lapso de tiempo consumido en la tramitación  del famoso “paquete de carretera”, pero lo cierto e s  que,  tras  tantas  negociaciones  a  todos  los  niveles  y  con  tantos  intereses  y  actores  en  juego  (desde  los  propios  Estados  miembros  de  la  Unión  Europea,  su  Consejo, la misma Comisión, los Europarlamentarios  de   distintas   procedencias   y   especialidades,   los  sindicatos     y,     naturalmente,     los     representantes  empresariales   del   sector),   finalmente   hubo   que  co njugar   tantas    facetas   que   el   texto   definitivo  adolece  de  bastantes  “indeterminaciones”  que  hay  que    solventar    ahora  para    otorgar    seguridad  jurídica  a  todos  los  afectados ,  desde  las  empresas  a  los  conductores,  pasando  por  los  agentes  y  hasta  los clientes.    En  este sentido, a través del órgano CAS (Comité de  Asuntos  Sociales) de  IRU, del  cual  es  Vicepresident e  nuestro  Director  Técnico,  José  Manuel  Pardo ,  ya  el  pasado  octubre  de  2020  se  envió  una  carta  a  la  DG  Move de la CE, en la que se le presentaba un primer  conjunto       de  preguntas       clave       sobre       la  interpretación      de      las      nuevas      reglas      de  conducción y tiempo de descanso en el marco del  Paquete  de  Movilidad  1 ,  solicitando  en  dicha  carta
