34That interpretation is borne out in particular by recital 27 of Regulation No 561/2006, according to which it is desirable in the interests of clear and effective enforcement to ensure uniform provisions on the liability of transport undertakings and drivers for infringements of the regulation, and this liability may result in penal, civil or administrative penalties, as the case may be, in the Member States. It is clear unequivocally from the wording of that recital that the Member States are entitled to lay down a system of liability of drivers for infringements of the regulation, and that they have a broad discretion as regards the nature of the applicable penalties.
