Parliament's position at first reading on a regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 on minimum breaks and daily and weekly rest periods in the occasional passenger transport sector.¶¶¶ The amended regulation also covers member states' power to impose penalties for infringements of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 committed in another member state or in a third country. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.¶ As an agreement was reached between Parliament and Council, Parliament's position corresponds to the final legislative act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1258.¶
