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 astic@astic.net 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.

2. 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
