(notified under document C(2012) 9358)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2013/21/EU) (repealed)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on driving licences(1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 13(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 2006/126/EC provides that all driving licences issued by Member States should be mutually recognised, including those issued before the date of application of the principle of mutual recognition.

(2) The principle of mutual recognition of driving licences entails full recognition of all entitlements which have been granted to a licence holder in accordance with national provisions in force at the time.

(3) Directive 2006/126/EC provides that the Member States should establish equivalences between the categories of driving licences issued before the implementation of that Directive and those defined in Article 4 thereof. Those equivalences should have the agreement of the Commission in a legally binding form.

(4) The tables of equivalences between the categories of driving licences established by Commission Decision 2008/766/EC of 25 August 2008 on equivalences between categories of driving licences(2) should be updated.

(5) Decision 2008/766/EC should therefore be repealed,
