COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2018/1926
of 19 November 2018
on the position to be taken, on behalf of the European Union, in the Group of Experts on the European Agreement concerning the work of crews of vehicles engaged in international road transport of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 91, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The European Agreement concerning the work of crews of vehicles engaged in international road transport (AETR) (1) entered into force on 5 January 1976. |
(2) |
A Group of Experts on AETR has been established by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in the framework of the AETR. That group is a body empowered to develop and submit proposals for amending the AETR to the UNECE Working Party on Road Transport. |
(3) |
The Group of Experts on AETR is currently discussing amendments to the AETR, based on a Union proposal following, to that effect, a position on behalf of the Union adopted by Council Decision (EU) 2016/1877 (2). A further amendment to the AETR appears necessary in order to ensure that non-EU Contracting Parties to the AETR can participate in data exchange on driver cards based on harmonised security and data protection standards. |
(4) |
Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) requires Member States to interconnect their national electronic registers on driver cards through the Telematics Network for the Exchange of Information Concerning the Issuing of Tachograph Cards (TACHOnet) messaging system or, when using a compatible system, to ensure that exchange of electronic data with all other Member States is possible through the TACHOnet messaging system. TACHOnet is a platform for the exchange of information on driver cards between Member States, in order to ensure that drivers do not hold more than one driver card. |
(5) |
In order to achieve a pan-European harmonisation in the field of electronic exchange of information on driver cards, it is necessary that TACHOnet be used as the single platform by all Contracting Parties to the AETR. |
(6) |
The connection to the TACHOnet messaging system is currently carried out either directly through a Trans-European Services for Telematics between Administrations (TESTA) connection or indirectly through a Member State already connected to TESTA. As TESTA are services restricted to Member States and institutions of the Union, non-EU Contracting Parties to the AETR can only connect to TACHOnet indirectly. |
(7) |
The Commission has recently assessed the indirect connections to the TACHOnet messaging system and concluded that they do not provide the same level of security as TESTA. In particular, there is not a sufficient guarantee about the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of the information exchanged through indirect connections. Indirect connections to TACHOnet should therefore be replaced by a secure connection. |
(8) |
eDelivery is a network of connection nodes for digital communications developed by the Commission, where every participant at national level becomes a node using standard transport protocols and security policies. eDelivery is a flexible tool that may be customised to each specific service. |
(9) |
eDelivery makes use of widely implemented security technologies, such as public key infrastructure (PKI), in order to ensure the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of the information exchanged. Access to TACHOnet of non-EU Contracting Parties to the AETR... |
