The Italian Ministry of the Interior has revised its position on= the interpretation of the new provisions introduced by Regulation (= EU) 1054/2020 (driving and rest times), regarding in particular the new= provisions introduced in Article 12 of the revised Reg= ulation (EC) N=C2=B0 561/2006, allowing the driver to exceed the driving ti= mes in the event of exceptional circumstances to reach the company headquar= ters or place of residence. Such conditions could be, for example,= weather conditions, traffic congestion, delays in the loading and unloadin= g points of goods, etc. One of the exceptions consists in the possibility f= or the driver to =E2=80=9Cexceed the daily and weekly driving time by up to= two hours, provided that an uninterrupted break of 30 minutes was taken im= mediately prior to the additional driving, in order to reach the employer= =E2=80=99s operational centre or the driver=E2=80=99s place of residence fo= r taking a regular weekly rest period=E2=80=9D.
In March 2021, the Ministry had interpreted this provision as it was not= possible to take advantage of the derogation to complete a new daily rest.= On 22 September, the Ministry revised its position. According to t= he new interpretation, therefore, in the presence of the exceptional circum= stances, drivers can exceed the maximum daily and weekly driving limit for = up to two hours, also derogating from the rules relating to daily rest, thu= s being able to conclude it within a maximum of 26 hours from the end of th= e previous daily or weekly rest period.

The current state of health emergency has been extended to 31 Janu= ary 2021 (previously 15 October 2020). This means that the containment meas= ures under law decrees nos 19/2020 and 33/2020 will also be extended until = 31 January (such as the limitation of the movement of people, the limitatio= n or suspension of business activities or professional activities and self-= employment, as well as the provision that the permitted activities in line = with measures avoiding gatherings of people and ensuring compliance with so= cial distancing measures).
In the workplace the obligation to carry out activities in complia= nce with the protocol on measures to combat Covid-19 signed on 24 April 202= 0 between the government and the social partners remains unaffected, as wel= l as compliance with specific sector protocols. For transport and logistics= companies, the protocol signed between the government and the social partn= ers on 20 March 2020 applies.

On 18 August 2020, new entry requirements for Italy were published. The = requirements depend on from where a person has travelled (see details= here).
Special restrictions (recent COVID-19 test or quarantine) have been intr= oduced for persons entering Italy after having stayed or transited, in the = last 14 days, in one of the following countries: Croatia, Greece, Malta, an= d Spain. Professional road freight transport drivers who have stayed or tra= nsited in one of these countries are exempt from the limitations if:
- They prove that they are entering Italy for work purposes. An EC certi= ficate should be sufficient proof.
- They complete the self-declaration <= /span>(English version) before they enter Italy (in addition to holding an EC certificate).
However, professional drivers can only stay in Italy for a maximum of 12= 0 hours (36 hours if in transit), after which they will have to leave the c= ountry or go into quarantine.
Note that our Greek association OFAE reported that all ferry agents at t= he Greek ports of Patras and Igoumenitsa are requesting truck drivers (of a= ll nationalities) to fill in the self-declaration form before they embark a= ship.
