".
I voted in favour of the report by Mr Grosch on driving licences.
Protection against fraud, the free movement of drivers and road safety are key factors in the defence of freedom of movement in the EU.
This positive idea should not be spoilt by excessive regulation leading to more obligations and obstacles for the drivers concerned.
If we are to enjoy the benefits of greater freedom of movement, we must accept the harmonisation of the basic rules intended to foster safety on the roads, to prevent fraud and to punish offenders.
When it comes to beneficial and entirely justified measures such as this one, we must avoid increasing regulatory and bureaucratic constraints, creating additional limitations for those learning to ride motorcycles or creating more restrictive conditions concerning the period of validity or renewal date of driving licences.
Although the amendments that I endorsed did not secure majority support in this House, I feel that the balance of the text is positive, hence my vote in favour."@en1
