European Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/95, as amended by Council regulation (EC) No 2135/98, provides for the installation and use of recording equipment or tachographs in vehicles which are used for the carriage of passengers or goods by road. Agricultural tractors and dump trucks are not designed to be used for the carriage of goods on public roads and, therefore, do not come within the scope of the Council regulations.
