AETR Contracting Parties
The European Agreement concerning the work of Crews of Vehicles engaged in International Road Transport (AETR), of 1st July 1970 is commonly referred to as ‘AETR Agreement’. It aims at improving road safety and regulating drivers’ hours’ rules for working and rest times. Today, 42 Contracting Parties have signed and ratified the AETR Agreement.


The negotiation to incorporate the EU Legislation on digital tachograph into the AETR agreement started in 2000. The UNECE Inland Transport Committee adopted the AETR Amendments in 2004. However, the ratification process was delayed by a Communication from the Netherlands stating that it intends to accept the AETR Amendments once its internal legal system is adapted. On 16 March 2006, the Netherlands notified the UN Secretary General that it accepted the Amendments to the AETR Agreement. According to the UN procedure, these Amendments will enter into force three months after the date of acceptance, namely on 16 June 2006, which will also mark the starting date of the 4-year transition period before the mandatory introduction of digital tachograph into AETR contracting parties, namely on 16 June 2010.

Introduction of digital tachograph in non-EU AETR Contracting Parties
Presentation made at the 4th Ad hoc Group on the AETR (Geneva 14 May 2007), as well as guidelines and recommendations established by MIDT concerning the different aspects of the implementation of the control device are available on the following UNECE website.
