Artikel 11

1. The undertaking shall organize road transport operations and properly instruct crew members so that they are able to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.
2. It shall make a regular check of driving periods, hours of other work and rest periods by referring to all documents at its disposal such as the individual control books. Should it discover any breach of this Agreement it shall take prompt action to end it and to avoid its repetition, for example by changing hours of work and routes.
3. Payments to wage-earning drivers, even in the form of bonuses or wage supplements, related to distances travelled and/or the amount of goods carried shall be prohibited, unless these payments are of such a kind as not to endanger road safety or encourage breaches of this Agreement.
4. A transport undertaking shall be liable for infringements committed by drivers of the undertaking, even if the infringement was committed in the territory of another Contracting Party or a non-Contracting Party.
Without prejudice to the right of Contracting Parties to hold transport undertakings fully liable, Contracting Parties may make this liability conditional on the undertaking’s infringement of paragraphs 1 and 2. Contracting Parties may consider any evidence that the transport undertaking cannot reasonably be held responsible for the infringement committed.
5. Undertakings, consignors, freight forwarders, tour operators, principal contractors, subcontractors and driver employment agencies shall ensure that contractually agreed transport time schedules respect this Agreement.
