"Madam President, this piece of legislation exemplifies the flawed realities of the EU by creating overlapping legislation on something that just does not work. Years after the implementation of the Prüm Decision, the majority of Member States are still not able to exchange any of the three types of data deemed necessary for dealing with cross-border information exchange.
This demonstrates that this legislation simply is not plausible. UK police need the ammunition to be able to track and enforce drivers who ignore the law on our highways, but it is our own UK border control that needs to store data on the vehicle registration on entry, with the driver’s appropriate legal licence, not the EU’s. At least this way, anyone who leaves the UK can be stopped at our own border control and dealt with appropriately.
The need for EU expenditure to standardise cross-border technologies to implement this legislation is beyond belief. The language barriers between States that allow the system to operate effectively are unpractical and unsafe. The realities of this report pose more problems than solutions. Robert Goodwill, the British Road Minister, has stated that cross-border information exchanges on penalty points are inappropriate. It will be interesting to see if his party’s MEPs will agree that this is a matter better dealt with by individual Member States. It is certainly only the UKIP MEPs who wish to protect the UK interest, not like some other UK MEPs quoting mixed messages."@en1
