(2)Pursuant to Article 2(3), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, the provisions of the AETR should be aligned with those of that Regulation. Regulations (EU) 2020/1054note and (EU) 2024/1258note of the European Parliament and of the Council amended Regulation (EC) No 561/2006. In addition, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1012note supplemented Article 8a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, which is one of the provisions introduced by Regulation (EU) 2020/1054. Therefore, the Union should propose to amend the AETR to reflect the amendments introduced by Regulations (EU) 2020/1054 and (EU) 2024/1258 and supplemented by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1012. Those amendments cover new provisions relating to the scope of the AETR, the conditions under which it is possible to take consecutive reduced weekly rests, a ban on taking the regular weekly rest in the cabin, the rules under which the driver is to return to the employer’s establishment or to the drivers’ place of residence, the conditions under which it is possible to have rest periods on a ferry or train, other possible derogations for drivers engaged in the occasional transport of passengers, and the principle and specifications of safe and secure parking areas.
