IRU welcomes the European Parliament transport committee’s strong backing of the revised EU vehicle registration rules. This is a major step towards simpler and more efficient procedures for operators.
The European Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) has adopted, by a large majority, its position on the revision of EU rules setting common requirements for vehicle registration documents, marking an important step in the legislative process.
The proposed update supports the digitalisation of registration documents and greater harmonisation of vehicle data across the EU. For operators, this is expected to reduce administrative burden, facilitate cross-border operations and make procedures more predictable when managing and verifying vehicle information.
IRU EU Director Raluca Marian said, “This vote is an important milestone towards a more efficient and secure vehicle registration system in Europe.
“Harmonised and reliable vehicle data and their exchange support fair competition across borders.
“At the same time, digital solutions must remain accessible and practical for all users.”
More consistent and accessible vehicle data across Member States should help reduce delays, duplication and legal uncertainty, particularly for operators active across borders. This will support more efficient fleet management and smoother interactions with national authorities. (....)
