REGULATION (EU) No 165/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 4 February 2014
on tachographs in road transport, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport and amending Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport.
When does the obligation of manual recording of border crossing start applying?
Article 34(6), point (f) and Article 34(7) of Regulation 165/2014
Articles 34(6) point (f) and (7) of Regulation (EU) 165/2014 provide that drivers shall manually record the symbol of the country that they enter after having crossed a border of a Member State. The obligation applies from 20 August 2020 in respect of vehicles equipped with an analogue tachograph and from 2 February 2022 in respect of vehicles equipped with a digital tachograph.
The driver must stop at the nearest possible stopping place at or after the border. Where the crossing of the border of a Member State takes place on a ferry or train, the driver must enter the symbol of the country at the port or station of arrival.
It is also important to note that, since 20 August 2020, drivers of vehicles fitted with an analogue tachograph are required to record the symbol of the countries in which the daily working period started and finished, as was already the case for vehicles fitted with a digital tachograph.
