"This report proposes that a special electronic system be set up for the exchange of information on drivers between Member States. This will allow anyone who drives too fast, drives without a seat belt or goes through a red light, to be asked in a simple and efficient manner to pay a fine in the country in which the traffic offence took place. The idea behind this proposal is undoubtedly a good one. Unfortunately, however, the proposal leaves a lot to be desired.
The European Parliament would like to see the amounts of the fines harmonised, something that is difficult when levels of income vary between Member States. It is also proposed that the technical equipment and methods used in road safety checks be harmonised. In addition, there is also a question mark regarding the legal basis for this proposal, which is something that Sweden, among others, has pointed out in the Council. The June List has therefore voted against this proposal."@en1
