Sveiki, ļautiņi!

Tas brīdis nu ir pienācis un tuvāko 2 gadu laikā tiks ieviests mehānisms, lai dalībvalsts operatīvi noskaidrotu, kurš ir tas ārvalstnieks, kas ir izdarījis kādu no 4 veidu CSN pārkāpumiem. Potenciāla "haļava" gan vēl saglabāsies DK un Latvijas satelītrepublikās UK un IRL...

COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

</div>
<div>
Brussels, 29 September 2011
</div>
<div>
14413/11
</div>
<div>
PRESSE 316
</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
Directive on cross-border exchange of information on road
</div>
<div>
safety offences adopted
</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
The Council today adopted, on the basis of a text agreed with the European Parliament in
</div>
<div>
second reading, a directive on cross-border exchange of information on road traffic
</div>
<div>
offences (44/11, 14251/11 ADD 1 + ADD 2). Member states will have two years following
</div>
<div>
the publication of the directive in the EU's Official Journal to transpose it into their
</div>
<div>
national legislation.
</div>
<div>
The objective of this directive is to combat road traffic offences that considerably
</div>
<div>
jeopardise road safety, by facilitating cross-border exchange of information. A member
</div>
<div>
state in which an offence has been committed with a vehicle registered in another member
</div>
<div>
state will be able to identify the holder of the vehicle and investigate who is personally
</div>
<div>
liable for the offence, so that sanctions can be enforced. This will also help ensure equal
</div>
<div>
treatment of drivers irrespective of their country of residence. According to an impact
</div>
<div>
assessment carried out by the Commission, up to 5 000 lives could be saved every year by
</div>
<div>
the application of such a measure.
</div>
<div>
The directive covers the four traffic offences which cause the most road casualties in
</div>
<div>
Europe, namely speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, non-use of a seat
</div>
<div>
belt and failing to stop at a red light. According to the Commission's impact assessment
</div>
<div>
study completed in 2007, which gives estimates for the year 2004, 30% of road deaths
</div>
<div>
were caused by speeding, 25% by drink-driving, 17% by non-use of seat belts, and around
</div>
<div>
4% by failing to stop at a red traffic light. In other words, some 75% of all road deaths are
</div>
<div>
caused by one (or more) of these four traffic offences. Three further offences also fall
</div>
<div>
within the scope of the directive: failing to wear a safety helmet, use of a forbidden lane
</div>
<div>
(such as emergency or public transport lanes), and illegally using a mobile phone while
</div>
<div>
driving. The list may be extended in the future through a revision of the directive.
</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
Under the new legislation, member states will allow each other access to vehicle
</div>
<div>
registration data for identification of the holder or owner of the vehicle with which the
</div>
<div>
offence has been committed. Once that person is identified, the member state in which the
</div>
<div>
traffic offence took place will send him or her a letter setting out the details of the offence
</div>
<div>
committed and the fine imposed in accordance with its law. In any case, it will depend on
</div>
<div>
the member state in which the offence has been committed and on its national law to
</div>
<div>
determine whether and how the offence will be prosecuted.
</div>
<div>
The United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark, due to their special position under the Lisbon
</div>
<div>
treaty with regard to policy cooperation, do not participate in this measure, but may decide
</div>
<div>
to join in later.
</div>
<div>
Currently, traffic offences are often not punished if they are committed with a vehicle
</div>
<div>
which is registered in a member state other than the member state where the offence has
</div>
<div>
been committed, in particular if the offences are automatically registered using road-side
</div>
<div>
cameras without direct contact between the driver and the police. Public acceptance of a
</div>
<div>
general legal enforcement is vital if casualties are to be reduced. Such acceptance, though,
</div>
<div>
may be undermined if there is a general feeling that non-resident drivers are not held
</div>
<div>
responsible for the offences they commit. While non-residents represent around 5% of the
</div>
<div>
road users in the EU countries for which such data are available, the proportion of nonresident
</div>
<div>
drivers committing speeding offences is in the range of 2.5% to 30% (2.5% in Denmark, 4% in Finland,
</div>
<div>
6% in the Netherlands, 8% in Catalonia (Spain), 14% in Belgium, 15% in France,
</div>
<div>
and 30% in Luxembourg). These figures suggest that non-resident drivers are relatively more
</div>
<div>
involved in speeding offences than resident drivers (In France, for instance, their share in traffic
</div>
<div>
is 5.5%, but their share in offences 15%).
