The shortcomings of the current Directive – in particular its lack of effectiveness – can only be addressed by an action at EU level. Only an EU instrument can bring about consistent and efficient EU-wide cross-border enforcement of road-safety-related traffic rules.
1.5.3.Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
The evaluation of the current Directive found that it had a positive impact on removing the anonymity of offenders who committed a road-safety-related traffic offence abroad, as an increasing number of road-safety-related traffic offences committed by non-residents have been investigated over time. However, the measures of the current Directive were inadequate to remove their impunity. In 2015, around 50% of detected road-safety-related traffic offences committed by non-residents were not investigated and around 50 % of the financial penalties for those offences that had been investigated were not successfully enforced. Almost all offences where offenders refused to pay financial penalties were not enforced, i.e. successfully enforced penalties were essentially due to voluntary payments.
The difficulties in cooperation between Member States in investigating road-safety-related traffic offences and enforcement of sanctions after exchanging vehicle registration data, especially where different legal liability regimes are applied, is the main explanation for this. Nevertheless, such cooperation appeared successful between Member States which concluded bilateral or multilateral agreements complementing EU law.
1.5.4.Compatibility with the Multiannual Financial Framework and possible synergies with other appropriate instruments
The proposed revision of the CBE Directive is consistent with other EU road safety legislation. It refers to Council Directive 1999/37/EC on the registration documents for vehicles in what concerns the classification of vehicle registration data elements; it extends the scope of the CBE Directive to the offence of using overloaded vehicle, therefore having a close link to the application of Council Directive 96/53/EC on maximum authorised weights and dimensions of vehicles; it complements the Driving Licence Directive by allowing the use of personal data from driving licence registers for the cross-border investigation of road-safety-related traffic offences, informing offenders on applied sanctions affecting their right to drive and identifying the person liable for road-safety-related offences. The proposal is also consistent with a wider set of existing legal instruments and ongoing initiatives at Union level in the field of police and justice cooperation, which have to be taken into account in relation to this initiative, such as existing cross-border investigation procedures under the Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between the Member States of the European Union, the European Investigation Order and the Prüm Decisions which are currently being revised.
To ensure a consistent approach in the cross-border enforcement of road-safety-related traffic rules, a negotiating package is established, which consists of three initiatives – besides this proposal for a directive amending the CBE Directive, it also contains a proposal for a new driving licence directive (replacing Directive 2006/126/EC on driving licences and a proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Union-wide effect of certain driving disqualifications.
1.5.5.Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for redeployment
The one-off costs in 2025 and ongoing adjustment costs of the Commission until 2050 are mainly related to the establishment of the IT system to support interactions between governmental authorities/organisations, natural and legal persons in cross-border administrative and criminal proceedings. The information functionality of the dedicated IT portal will build on the existing portal managed by the Commission (Going Abroad) and the upgrade of this system would present the best use of the current organisation and invested resources up to now. The establishment of the IT system does not require an increase of human resources.

Comments
The implementation of the proposal requires the establishment and maintenance of a new IT system. This system should connect existing networks of national IT systems and interoperable access points, operating under the individual responsibility and management of each Member State, to ensure a secure and reliable cross-border exchange of information on road-safety-related traffic offences. The Commission will define appropriate IT solutions in implementing acts, including the design/architecture and technical specifications for a dedicated digital portal and electronic systems (interface platform(s)) to inter-connect national systems to exchange the information, which Member States can choose to use. The adjustment costs for the Commission are expected to consist of three main cost elements (calculated in present net value), as follows:
- the non-recurring adjustment (one off) costs in 2025 incurred by the exchange of information between Member States concerning the verification of the information letter and follow-up documents through the dedicated IT portal estimated at 405 000 €;
- non-recurring adjustment (one-off) costs of 70 000 € are foreseen in 2025 incurred by the establishment of the dedicated IT portal;
- ongoing adjustment costs (development, maintenance and support of the dedicated IT portal) estimated at approx. 50 000 € per year intended for more interactive exchange of information between Member States enforcement and citizens/road users authorities not just about applicable road-safety-related traffic rules in place (existing Going Abroad website of the Commission), but also about applicable sanction schemes and appeal procedures.
2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES
2.1.Monitoring and reporting rules
Specify frequency and conditions.
The tasks directly implemented by DG MOVE will follow the annual cycle of planning and monitoring, as implemented in the Commission and the executive agencies, including reporting the results through the Annual Activity Report of DG MOVE.
The Commission will monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the application of the initiative/intervention through reporting of specific indicators (Article 6 of the proposal) that includes for example the number of automated outgoing/inbound requests conducted by the Member State in which the offence was committed and addressed to the Member State of the vehicle registration, or the number of registered road-safety-related traffic offences which are detected automatically or without the identification of the liable person on the spot and committed with vehicles registered abroad, or on the number of automatic checking equipment (e.g. speed cameras), or on voluntarily paid financial penalties by non-residents.
The new reporting period of Member States is extended from current two years to four years aligning it with the Commission’s evaluation calendar and reducing the administrative burden on national authorities. The IT platform(s) are intended to facilitate automatic compilation of data by specific reporting features.
2.2.Management and control system(s)
2.2.1.Justification of the management mode(s), the funding implementation mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed
The unit within DG MOVE in charge of the policy field will manage the implementation of the Directive, in cooperation with other relevant units and DGs.
The expenditure will be implemented under direct management, in full application of the provisions of the Financial Regulation. The control strategy for procurements and grants in DG MOVE includes specific ex-ante legal, operational and financial controls on the procedures (including, for procurements, a review by the advisory committee for procurement and contracts) as well as on the signature of contracts and agreements. In addition, expenditure made to procure goods and services is subject to ex-ante and, when necessary, ex-post and financial controls.
2.2.2.Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them
Very low risk. The dedicated IT portal will build on the existing Going Abroad website ( https://ec.europa.eu/transport/road_safety/going_abroad/index_en.htm ) and will be upgraded to become more interactive and provide additional functionalities. The identified risks are linked to the use of procurement procedures: delay, availability of data, timely information to the market, etc. These risks are covered under the Financial Regulation and mitigated by the set of internal controls deployed by DG MOVE for procurement of this value.
2.2.3.Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio of "control costs ÷ value of the related funds managed"), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)
The requested budgetary increase applies to the establishment and maintenance of the IT system. Concerning the control activities related to the IT systems developed or managed by the directorate responsible for the proposal, the IT steering committee is regularly monitoring the directorate databases and progress made, taking into account the simplification and cost-efficiency of the Commission IT resources.
DG MOVE reports annually, in its Annual Activity Report, on the cost of control of its activities. The risk profile and cost of controls for procurement activities are in line with the requirements.
2.3.Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.
The regular Commission prevention and protection measures would apply, specifically:
- payments for any services are checked by the Commission staff prior to payment, taking into account any contractual obligations, economic principles and good financial or management practice. Anti-fraud provisions (supervision, reporting requirements, etc.) will be included in all agreements and contracts concluded between the Commission and recipients of any payments;
- to combat fraud, corruption and other unlawful activities the provisions of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 883/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 concerning investigations conducted by the European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF) shall apply without restriction.
DG MOVE adopted a revised Anti-fraud Strategy (AFS) in 2020. The MOVE AFS is based on the Commission Antifraud Strategy and a specific risk assessment carried out internally to identify the areas most vulnerable to fraud, the controls already in place and the actions necessary to improve DG MOVE’s capacity to prevent, detect and correct fraud.
The contractual provisions applicable to public procurement ensure that audits and on-the-spot checks can be carried out by the Commission services, including OLAF, using the standard provisions recommended by OLAF.
