During this period flights will continue as now. We have also agreed a Political Declaration on the broad terms of our future relationship with the EU.

This is intended to provide an enforceable and proportionate set of rules, based on harmonised administrative requirements for drivers and operators and on information exchange between Member State authorities. The Government\u2019s assessment is that this will reduce administrative burdens that can be placed on UK-based drivers operating abroad. It is also proposed to introduce a limited exemption from posting rules for bilateral international operations. UK-based drivers may therefore in some circumstances be exempt from the prevailing local minimum wage rate while working in other Member States, although this would not be expected to entail a change to their contractual entitlement.<\/p> <\/p> The latest proposals in the EU Mobility Package are that the driving and rest time rules would be modified to enable a driver to return to their base at least once every four weeks. In this context, to enable more of a driver\u2019s rest time to be taken at home, it is proposed to enable drivers to take two consecutive reduced weekly rests, provided the reduction is compensated for. The Government considers that these rules would have a very limited effect on UK-based drivers, whose working patterns do not normally entail multiple weeks away from home.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
