Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/68Show full title

ANNEX II Functionalities of TACHOnet messaging system

1. The following functionalities shall be provided through TACHOnet messaging system:

1.1.

Check Issued Cards (CIC): allows the requesting Member State to send a Check Issued Cards Request to one or all responding Member States, to determine if a card applicant already possesses a driver card issued by the responding Member States. The responding Member States shall reply to the request by sending a Check Issued Cards Response.

1.2.

Check Card Status (CCS): allows the requesting Member State to ask the responding Member State about the details of a card issued by the latter by sending a Check Card Status Request. The responding Member State shall reply to the request by sending a Check Card Status Response.

1.3.

Modify Card Status (MCS): allows the requesting Member State to notify the responding Member State, through a Modify Card Status Request, that the status of a card issued by the latter has changed. The responding Member State shall reply with a Modify Card Status Acknowledgement.

1.4.

Issued Card Driving License (ICDL): allows the requesting Member State to notify the responding Member State, through an Issued Card Driving Licence Request, that a card has been issued by the former against a driving licence issued by the latter. The responding Member State shall reply with an Issued Card Driving Licence Response.

2. Other message types deemed suitable for the efficient functioning of TACHOnet shall be included, for instance error notifications.

3. National systems shall recognize the card statuses listed in the Appendix to this Annex, when using any of the functionalities described in point 1. However, Member States are not required to implement an administrative procedure that makes use of all of the listed statuses.

4. When a Member State receives a response or notification giving a status that is not used in its administrative procedures, the national system shall translate the status on the received message to the appropriate value in that procedure. The message shall not be rejected by the responding Member State, as long as the status in the message is listed in the Appendix of this Annex.

5. The card status listed in the Appendix to this Annex shall not be used to determine if a driver card is valid for driving. When a Member State queries the register of the card issuing Member State via the CCS functionality, the response shall contain the dedicated field ‘valid for driving’. The national administrative procedures shall be such that CCS responses always contain the appropriate ‘valid for driving’ value.
