Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

speaks out ptocesut, THE GREEK government faces legal action by the European Commission (EC) for failing to make hauliers use digital tachographs.

Eli legislation made digitachs mandatory for all new LGVs from 1 May last year, but the EC says: "To date Greece has still to establish the necessary legal and practical arrangements, including the issue of tachograph cards for drivers,companies,workshops and control officers."

The EC has given Greece two months to say how it will implement a digitach system. Failing this, the EC could ask the European Court of Justice (EC,T) to order the Greeks to comply.

The EC adds: "The introduction of the tachograph is a significant step forward in road transport in terms of safety."

It has also threatened the Greek government with legal action for failing to make Greek hauliers follow EU rules on experience and professional qualifications.
