EU: ROAD SAFETY: European Commission: Response to Council of the European Union 1st reading position
01 March 2011
EU: ROAD SAFETY: European Commission:
Response to Council of the European Union 1st reading position (pdf). See also:
Council's 1st reading position (pdf),
Council statement of reasons (pdf) and European Parliament:
Draft 1st reading position (pdf).
Note: The European Parliament's 1st reading position does not deal with data protection: Vehicle registration data will be gathered by "automated searches" (an online access procedure for consulting the databases of one, several, or all of the Member States or of the participating countries) using the Prum VRD (Vehicle Registration Data). Data protection will be in compliance with the procedures in the Prum Decision and Chapter 3 of the Annex to Decision 2008/616/JHA - a much criticised measure: See:
