COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/68
of 21 January 2016
on common procedures and specifications necessary for the interconnection of electronic registers of driver cards
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 February 2014 on tachographs in road transport (1), and in particular Article 31(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 provides for the obligation of Member States to exchange data electronically in order to ensure the uniqueness of the driver cards issued. |
(2) |
In order to facilitate the exchange of electronic data on driver cards by Member States, the Commission set up the messaging system TACHOnet, which allows Member States to request information to the other Member States on the issuance of driver cards, as well as on their status. |
(3) |
Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 makes mandatory the interconnection of electronic national registers on driver cards throughout the Union, either using the TACHOnet messaging system or a compatible system. However, in case of a compatible system, the exchange of electronic data with all other Member States must be possible through the TACHOnet messaging system. |
(4) |
It is necessary therefore to lay down the compulsory common procedures and specifications for TACHOnet, including the format of the data exchanged, the technical procedures for electronic consultation of the national electronic registers, access procedures and security mechanisms. |
(5) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 42(3) of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
