(2) The use of hired vehicles can reduce the costs of undertakings carrying goods on their own account or for hire and reward and at the same time increase their operational flexibility. It can therefore contribute to an increase in the productivity and competitiveness of the undertakings concerned. Moreover, as hired vehicles tend to be younger than the average fleet, they are alsomay often be safer and less polluting.

(5) The level of road transport taxation still differs considerably within the Union. Therefore, cCertain restrictions, which also indirectly affect the freedom to provide vehicle hiring services, remain justified to achieve legitimate objectives such as road safety, taxation policy, protection of the environment or improvement of the welfare or employment rights and conditions of drivers in order to avoid fiscal distortions. Consequently, for example, Member States should have the option to limit the length of time a vehicle hired in another Member State other can be used withain the one of establishmentir respective territories, and to restrict the use of the undertaking hiring it can be used within their respective territorieavier or older hired vehicles for own account transport operations.

(7) The implementation and effects of this Directive should be monitored by the Commission and be documented by it in a report. Any future action in this area should be considered in light of that report. This should include whether additional requirements to consolidate and safeguard traceable links between undertakings and vehicles should be introduced, such as mandatory declaration of vehicle number plates of hired vehicles in national electronic registers and anti-avoidance provisions against so-called ‘letterbox’ companies.
