Article 6 of the Convention. Driving times. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that the reference period of one month to be used to calculate hours of work on average is provided in section 6 of Order No. 138/2006. It also notes that sections 3.1 and 3.4 of Order No. 340/2010, which set the limits to total driving times, apply to all drivers covered by the Order.

Article 8(2). Limits to the possible reduction of daily rest. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that section 5.3 of Order No. 340/2010 allows the duration of daily rest to be reduced from ten to eight consecutive hours in certain cases without limiting this reduction to two consecutive days.
