A joint operation on the A12 in the Austrian Tyrol on 8 and 9 September found 617 breaches of the driving and rest time rules. The European Labour Authority published the results on 11 September.

230 vehicles were inspected and 188 drivers checked. The total number of offences is not the number of offending drivers: a single check can record several.

The operation targeted heavy goods vehicles in international transport and looked at tachographs, posting of workers, road safety and other obligations. Austrian authorities took part along with specialists from six other Member States, supported by the ELA.

189 technical defects were also identified. The report documents a completed operation; it does not announce a new traffic restriction on the A12.

France to cut diesel prices from 1 November using strategic reserves

The French government will release 10 million barrels of diesel from its strategic reserves, bought at around €0.28/litre before the Middle East war escalated, to cut pump prices between 1 November and 31 January 2027. The planned cut is 12 to 18 cents per litre for road diesel. Meanwhile, French hauliers'' associations are asking for administrative, not criminal, penalties for shippers who fail to index the price to diesel.

Spain: September's decree brings two different fuel aids — don't mix up the figures

The Real Decreto-ley 25/2026, de 29 de septiembre, bundles together two separate measures: a general cut to the Hydrocarbons Tax for all drivers (20, 13 and 6 cents/litre in October, November and December) and the already-known extraordinary aid for professional diesel, which rises in the opposite direction (5, 12 and 19 cents/litre). Fenadismer challenges how the cut is managed through filling stations.
