Samenvatting
Today the Council of Ministers reached a political agreement on a European Commission proposal from 2003 regarding a European driving licence (COM(2003)621 – IP/03/1435, http://europa.eu.int/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/03/1435&…). Common European rules will facilitate the free movement of EU drivers, prevent fraud when driving licences are used as identification documents and improve road safety, particularly where motorcycles are concerned. A single model in credit card format will replace the more than 110 different models currently in circulation. (Author/publisher)
