The myriad models and types of licences that allow a citizen of the Member States to drive a motor vehicle may, in a Community in which freedom of movement is the norm, place worrying constraints on the ability of the Member States’ authorities to exercise control, at the inevitable expense of legal certainty and road safety.
The European driving licence information network and the mutual recognition of sanctions may be valid ways to help to address the situation.
Fighting fraud, free movement for motorists and road safety are, in fact, the main issues involved here, and we need to move towards the harmonisation of criteria in order to achieve the same degree of reliability from Lisbon to Nicosia. In my view, such harmonisation must take account of the principles of subsidiarity, suitability and proportionality so as to avoid duplicating bureaucracy and creating obstacles to the free movement of people and goods.
I believe the step-up approach, or progressive access to certain types of vehicle, particularly motorcycles, may have a positive effect in cutting the number of road accidents among young people, and it is worth examining the possibility of introducing it.
All things considered, I voted for the proposal."@en1
