6. IRU 4/5 Humanitarian Transport – simplification measures, goods transport Sunday and public holiday driving ban for lorries: The Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport (BMDV) has asked federal states to grant exemptions from the ban on HGVs driving on Sundays and public holidays. The exemptions are to apply to transports in the direction of the Ukrainian border for direct or indirect humanitarian support to Ukraine (including any directly required empty runs). The German authority Bundesamt für Güterverkehr (BAG) has now published a list of the federal states that are granting exemptions from the driving ban for humanitarian transports towards the Ukrainian border runder the headline „Lkw Sonn- und Feiertagsfahrverbot:“ https://www.bag.bund.de/SharedDocs/Standardartikel_Buehne/Infobox_Hilfsguetertransporte_Ukraine.html Community licence / market access: Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009 provides in its Article 1(5)(e) that the carriage of medicines, medical supplies and equipment and other goods intended for the relief of urgent emergencies (in particular natural disasters), as well as empty journeys made in connection therewith, shall not be subject to a Community licence and shall be exempt from any requirement for a transport authorisation. Driving and rest times (social legislation in road transport): According to Art. 3(d) of the relevant EU Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, vehicles - including vehicles used for non- commercial transport for humanitarian aid - used in emergency or rescue operations are exempted from the application of the rules on driving times and rest periods. The above-mentioned conditions of the exemption must all be met, in particular the specific journey must not tolerate any postponement or delay due to compliance with the prescribed rest periods. The BMDV as well as the BAG expressly support the diverse offers of help that are currently being made by companies, citizens and aid organisations. These offers, which have been made in such a short time, show great solidarity with the citizens of Ukraine. However, we ask all drivers to pay careful attention while on the road in road traffic, especially in this emergency situation. The risk of road accidents increases when drivers are overtired. The use of the exemption must not impair general road safety. Every entrepreneur and driver must - irrespective of any relevant exemption regulations - check whether the driver is physically fit and able to carry out the journey safely before starting the actual journey.
