| (3) To facilitate the checking and verification of vehicle registration certificates, further harmonisation of the form and content of those certificates is required. | deleted |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3a) The safety of vehicles is a core element of the Union's Safe System approach and a core principle of the 2020 United Nations Stockholm Declaration on Road Safety. Reliable, complete and interoperable vehicle registration data constitute an essential element for ensuring safe vehicles throughout their lifecycle and for supporting effective enforcement and cross-border cooperation. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (4a) Vehicle registration documents and data recorded in national vehicle registers are essential for the effective enforcement of road safety, environmental and market rules, in particular in cross-border situations. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (5) To take account of the need for digitalisation, to strengthen Union competitiveness and to reduce administrative burdens, both physical and mobile registration certificates should be harmonised. Such certificates should be fully equivalent and contain exactly the same information. | (5) To take account of the need for digitalisation, to strengthen Union competitiveness and to reduce administrative burdens, both physical and mobile registration certificates should be harmonised. Such certificates should be fully equivalent and contain exactly the same information. Member States should ensure that the transition towards the use of mobile registration certificates does not discriminate against citizens without adequate digital access or skills, including people with disabilities, the elderly, low-income individuals and those with low education. |

| (5) To take account of the need for digitalisation, to strengthen Union competitiveness and to reduce administrative burdens, both physical and mobile registration certificates should be harmonised. Such certificates should be fully equivalent and contain exactly the same information. | (5) In order to ensure legal certainty, operational efficiency and genuine mutual recognition across the Union, vehicle registration certificates should be fully harmonised in both physical and mobile format. This will simplify re-registration procedures, reduce administrative burdens and enhance the effectiveness of cross-border enforcement. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (5a) Differences in the content, structure and quality of vehicle registration data across Member States weaken enforcement, hinder efforts to combat fraud and affect the functioning of the internal market. Harmonised and up-to-date registration data are therefore needed to ensure legal certainty and fair cross-border circulation of vehicles. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (6) To make it easier and faster to check information on physical certificates, Member States should be able to include a QR code on registration certificates, including those in smart card formats. It should also be possible to issue physical registration certificates in smart card format with a microchip, provided that certain technical specifications are followed. | deleted |

| (7) The digital transformation is one of the Union’s priorities. It is important to remove the remaining barriers, including the administrative burden associated with the re-registration of vehicles. This can impede the free movement of people, and their right to circulate freely within the Union and to take up residence in a Member State other than the one where their vehicle is currently registered. Therefore, as from [date of entry into force + 4 years], mobile registration certificates should be issued by default without affecting the applicant’s right to also request a physical registration certificate. To ensure interoperability of mobile registration certificates across the Union, technical specifications for those certificates should be set out. This will also make it possible to ensure vehicle registration certificates can be checked and verified. | (7) The digital transformation is one of the Union’s priorities.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (11) Roadworthiness testing is a part of a wider regime that ensures vehicles are kept in a safe and environmentally acceptable condition during their use. That roadworthiness regime requires that a vehicle’s authorisation to be used in road traffic be suspended where the vehicle constitutes a risk to road safety. To reduce the administrative burden resulting from suspension, it is not necessary to go through a new registration process when the suspension is lifted. In order to ensure that registers are accurate and up to date, where the authorisation of a vehicle for use on public roads has been suspended following a roadworthiness test, the suspension should also be recorded electronically in the register until the vehicle has passed a new roadworthiness test. | (11) Roadworthiness testing is a part of a wider regime that ensures vehicles are kept in a safe condition during their use.

|---|---|
| (11a) Certain vehicle characteristics, including dimensions relevant for visibility and impact severity, such as vehicle width, length and bonnet leading edge height, are increasingly relevant for road safety, in particular for vulnerable road users. Including such information in vehicle registration documents contributes to transparency and informed enforcement. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (12) To ensure that vehicle registers are accurate and up to date, when a vehicle has been treated as an end-of-life vehicle in accordance with Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council5 , the registration of that vehicle should be cancelled permanently and that information added to the electronic register. | deleted |

| (19a) In order to combat fraud and ensure fair competition, legal clarification regarding toll collection is required for heavy duty vehicles whose emission systems have been deliberately manipulated by their holders. Currently, heavy-duty vehicles with tampered exhaust emission control systems must be granted toll benefits due to their formal classification under EURO norms in motor vehicle law according to (EU) 2022/362. However, this fraud of unjustified toll benefits cannot be retrospectively sanctioned with traffic fines within the legal framework of technical roadside controls. |

| (20) To facilitate the exchange of data, Member States should interconnect their vehicle registers and electronic systems on roadworthiness certificates with the Commission’s MOVE-HUB system, so that competent authorities are able to consult the register of another Member State in real time. | (20) The purpose of this Directive is to exchange data in such a way that competent authorities can consult the register of another Member State in real time. To protect service availability to citizens and enforcement professionals at Member States level, the introduction of single points of failure at union level as well as confusion about ICT specifications must be avoided. Solutions must take into account the existing systems and related investments already made by the Member States. To facilitate such data exchange, Member States should interconnect their vehicle registers and electronic systems containing information on the last roadworthiness certificate, using a peer-to-peer data exchange system such as EUCARIS. To support compliance monitoring, any data exchange system, including EUCARIS, will make any necessary statistical data available in periodic intervals to the Commission. |

| (2a) ‘temporary de-registration’ refers exclusively to situations in which a vehicle remains identifiable in the national register and its legal status continues to be traceable during the period in which it is not authorised for use on public roads. A procedure whereby a vehicle is fully deregistered at the request of the holder and subsequently re-registered shall not be considered a ‘temporary de-registration’ within the meaning of Article 8, where, during the period of deregistration, no data may be collected or recorded concerning changes in ownership or legal status of the vehicle. |

| (7a) ‘temporary de-registration’ means a limited period of time to be defined by the Member State in which a vehicle is not authorised by a Member State to be used in road traffic. |
In order to streamline EU legislation, particularly coherence with the registration documents with the end-of-life-vehicles regulation and to ensure traceability of vehicles, a new definition for temporary de-registration is introduced.

Traceability will be the key to keep electric vehicles in the EU, to organise recycling, retract valuable materials and foster a European EV second hand market. This amendment (together with the re-enforced Article 6(e)) prevents an important loophole. Deregistration and later re-registration do not fall under temporary deregistration, but in practice amount to the same thing without any conditions attached. Without knowing the owner, vehicles can disappear from the system as missing vehicles during the period between deregistration and new registration.

L'objectif initial de la Commission européenne dans le cadre de la directive 1999/37/CE a été dénaturé et a ouvert la voie à un arbitrage réglementaire conduisant au contournement des règles de l'UE. Cela conduit à une situation où certains véhicules et constructeurs (y compris des équipementiers de pays tiers) utilisent cette faille juridique pour immatriculer des véhicules qui n'ont reçu aucune homologation de l'UE. Cette faille juridique permet d'envoyer un véhicule dans un autre pays de l'UE, de l'immatriculer via une immatriculation allégée (c'est-à-dire une immatriculation d'un jour) avant de le réimporter. Cela conduit à la vente et à la circulation de véhicules dangereux dans les États membres, sans que les consommateurs aient conscience du danger que représentent ces véhicules. De même, cela crée un arbitrage réglementaire qui favorise les véhicules dangereux et les équipementiers frauduleux au détriment des équipementiers légitimes de l'UE qui soumettent leurs véhicules aux procédures traditionnelles d'homologation de l'UE, en vertu du règlement (UE) 858/2018.

|---|---|
| (C.1.4) electronic address (e-mail), where available, | deleted |
While the inclusion of an e-mail address can be a useful tool for communication, it should not be treated as a fully reliable or universal means of contact. E-mail addresses may be outdated, incorrect, or no longer actively used, and relying on them as a mandatory data element could create a false expectation of guaranteed reachability. In addition, not all vehicle owners or holders have, or wish to provide, an e-mail address.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| odometer information: | |
| – last recorded odometer reading (in km); | |

| (M.2) length (in mm), | |
| (M.3) total vehicle height (in mm), | |
| (M.4) bonnet leading edge height (in mm), |
Consumers across the EU need more detailed information on vehicle dimensions, as these have important road safety implications. Some member states already now mandate them, but this should apply on Union level. The Commission's impact assessment is clear: “The existing divergence between vehicle registration documents and the information included and quality of the data stored in the vehicle registers creates challenges in coordinating enforcement actions ... the non-recognition of roadworthiness certificates among EU Member State creates additional trade barriers for cross-border operation or sale of vehicles, hindering the efficient functioning of the internal market... All policy options are expected to have a positive impact on the functioning of the internal market.”
