Drivers might also face administrative issues when travelling to Member States that are not contracting parties of the Vienna Convention, for example the requirement to hold an international driving permit. Finally, when changing residence in the EU, holders of EU driving licences would have to obtain a new driving licence issued by their new country of residence, either by means of an administrative exchange or by passing the driving test like any other applicant.
In addition, the conditions to obtain a driving licence would vary, resulting in an unequal treatment of EU citizens and less effectiveness in terms of road safety.
1.5.3.Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
As mention in point 1.5.1 the revision of the Driving Licence Directive will result in the adoption of a fourth act addressing this topic. The first three Directives have already contributed significantly to an improvement of road safety and of the free movement of people, resulting in drivers who are more skilled and knowledgeable and better fit to drive. In addition, the impunity of traffic offenders has been reduced with the introduction of a single driving licence in the EU and the establishment of the RESPER network.
1.5.4.Compatibility with the Multiannual Financial Framework and possible synergies with other appropriate instruments
The proposed revision of the Driving Licence Directive is consistent with other EU instruments and relevant EU policies, as well as international obligations (UNECE conventions on road traffic Geneva 1949 and Vienna 1968). The Directive governs driving rights according to vehicle categories. Certain categories are defined by reference to EU rules namely:
–Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles 68 , allowing to identify the types of mopeds, motorcycles, motor tricycles and quadricycles.
–Council Directive 96/53/EC laying down the maximum authorised dimensions in national and international traffic and the maximum authorised weights in international traffic 69 , allowing to identify the types of alternatively fuelled vehicles;
The Directive also determines the minimum ages to obtain a driving licence for (future) professional drivers, which are subject to Directive (EU) 2022/2561 on the initial qualification and periodic training of drivers of certain road vehicles for the carriage of goods or passengers 70 .
In addition, rules on protection of personal data also apply to the exchange of information related to driving licences, in particular:
–Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the European Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data 71 ;
–Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation) 72 ; and Directive (EU) 2016/680 of the European Parliament and of the Council 73 .
Finally, the Commission has adopted on 3 June 2021 a proposal 74 for the revision of the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 75 as regards establishing a framework for a European Digital Identity. This new framework provides building blocks relevant to the mobile driving licences. In particular, the electronic identity and, potentially, the electronic wallet features can be used to develop an interoperable solution for EU mobile driving licences.
To ensure the consistency of the Driving Licence Directive with the other legal instruments concerning the aspects of enforcement of road traffic rules, a negotiating package is established, which consists of three initiatives – besides this new proposal on Driving Licences Rules, it also contains a proposal for a directive amending Directive (EU) 2015/413 on facilitating cross-border exchange of information on road-safety-related traffic offences and a proposal for a Directive on the application of the principle of the mutual recognition on 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 setting an expert group to allow authorities to share information and best practices in relation to physical and mental fitness to drive and the development of an online training programme on fitness to drive for general practitioners. The establishment of those two initiatives does not require an increase of human resources.
1.6.Duration and financial impact of the proposal/initiative
limited duration
– in effect from [DD/MM]YYYY to [DD/MM]YYYY
– Financial impact from YYYY to YYYY for commitment appropriations and from YYYY to YYYY for payment appropriations.
X unlimited duration
–Implementation with a start-up period from YYYY to YYYY,
–followed by full-scale operation.
1.7.Method(s) of budget implementation planned 76
X Direct management by the Commission
– by its departments, including by its staff in the Union delegations;
– by the executive agencies
Shared management with the Member States
Indirect management by entrusting budget implementation tasks to:
– third countries or the bodies they have designated;
– international organisations and their agencies (to be specified);
– the EIB and the European Investment Fund;
– bodies referred to in Articles 70 and 71 of the Financial Regulation;
– public law bodies;
– bodies governed by private law with a public service mission to the extent that they are provided with adequate financial guarantees;
– bodies governed by the private law of a Member State that are entrusted with the implementation of a public-private partnership and that are provided with adequate financial guarantees;
– bodies or persons entrusted with the implementation of specific actions in the CFSP pursuant to Title V of the TEU, and identified in the relevant basic act.
–If more than one management mode is indicated, please provide details in the ‘Comments’ section.
The implementation of the proposal requires the establishment and maintenance of an expert group to allow authorities to share information and best practices in relation to physical and mental fitness to drive and the development of an online training programme on fitness to drive for general practitioners. The establishment of those initiatives does not require an increase of human resources.
- the recurring adjustment costs between 2025-2028 incurred by the establishment of the expert group to allow authorities to share information and best practices in relation physical and mental fitness to drive are estimated at 30.000€ per year.
- the non-recurring adjustment (one-off) costs of 80.000 € are foreseen in 2025 incurred by the establishment and the development of an online training programme on fitness to drive for general practitioners;
- ongoing adjustment costs (update of the online training programme on fitness to drive for general practitioners) estimated at approx. 80.000€ every 5 years.
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.
According to article Article 20 of the Driving Licence Directive, Member States shall inform the Commission on a yearly basis about the number of driving licences issued, renewed, replaced, withdrawn and exchanged, for each category, including data on the issuance and use of mobile driving licences.
The Commission will also assess the correct transposition of the Directive by the Member States.
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.
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
As regards the implementation of the tasks related to the setup of the mechanism, the risks identied are linked to 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)
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.
The requested budgetary increase applies to the establishment and maintanence of an information platform for authorities to exchange on physical and mental fitness to drive and the development of an (online) training programme for general practitioners. 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.
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.

(4) The first Directive on driving licences (Directive 80/1263/EEC) introduced the very first set of rules in the EU as regards harmonisation of the national driving licence schemes, in particular through the introduction of a Community model of the licence, the preliminary definition of vehicles’ categories and by laying down the conditions under which driving licences can be issued or exchanged across the EU. These rules were further refined and extended in the second driving licence Directive (Directive 91/439/EEC). Most importantly, the mutual recognition of driving licences issued by Member States was established and requirements for a minimum age to obtain a driving licence were introduced. The third driving licence Directive (Directive 2006/126/EC) was approved in December 2006 and has been amended eleven times between 2009 and 2020, mainly to improve the harmonisation of common standards and requirements, as well as to adapt it to technological developments.

(67) The first Directive on driving licences (Directive 80/1263/EEC) introduced the very first set of rules in the EU as regards harmonisation of the national driving licence schemes, in particular through the introduction of a Community model of the licence, the preliminary definition of vehicles’ categories and by laying down the conditions under which driving licences can be issued or exchanged across the EU. These rules were further refined and extended in the second driving licences Directive (Directive 91/439/EEC). Most importantly, the mutual recognition of driving licences issued by Member States was established and requirements for a minimum age to obtain a driving licence were introduced. Directive 2006/126/EC was approved in December 2006 and has been amended eleven times between 2009 and 2020, mainly to improve the harmonisation of common standards and requirements, as well as to adapt to technological developments
