AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The text establishes an EU system for sharing information and recognising driving disqualifications across member states for major offences such as drink or drug driving, excessive speeding, or causing death or serious injury.

Parliament approved the Council's position, meaning the directive will be adopted as agreed, ending impunity for drivers committing such offences outside the country that issued their licence.

Parliament instructs its President and Secretary-General to sign the act and arrange its publication in the Official Journal.
