THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing common rules concerning the conditions to be complied with to pursue the occupation of road transport operator and repealing Council Directive 96/26/EC1, and in particular Article 16 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 requires that each Member State keeps a national electronic register of road transport undertakings which have been authorised by a competent authority designated by it to engage in the occupation of road transport operator. The national electronic registers should include at least the elements set out in Article 16(2) of the Regulation. Additional elements such as the date and place of birth of natural persons have also to be included in order to ensure correct identification of the individuals concerned.

(2)
Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 on common rules for access to the international road haulage market2 and Regulation (EC) No 1073/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 on common rules for access to the international market for coach and bus services3 also require certain data to be entered in these national electronic registers.
(3)
The provisions on personal data protection, as laid down in particular by Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data4, apply to the processing of any personal data pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009.
(4)

In order to facilitate the interconnection of the national electronic registers as required by Article 16(5) of the Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009, the Commission has to adopt according to Article 16(1) of this Regulation a decision on minimum requirements for the data to be entered in the national electronic register,
