THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community(1), and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Section 2.2 of the Annex to Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for pursuant to Article 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC(2) describes the implementation of the European global architecture for national vehicle registers (NVRs) and provides for an update of the Decision, if appropriate, following the evaluation of a pilot project by the European Railway Agency. Moreover, it provides for a decision to connect national vehicle registers to the central Virtual Vehicle Register (VVR). The European Railway Agency has implemented and evaluated the pilot project. On 26 March 2010, it delivered to the Commission recommendation ERA/REC/01-2010/INT proposing an update of the Annex to Decision 2007/756/EC. Decision 2007/756/EC should therefore be amended.
(2) Article 33(2) of Directive 2008/57/EC provides that the NVR is to contain, among other compulsory information, the identification of the owner of the vehicle and the entity in charge of maintenance. A transition period is therefore needed for adapting non-standard NVRs to contain Field 9.2 ‘registered business number’ and updating the information on the owner and entity in charge of maintenance for vehicles already registered in the NVR.
(3) The transition periods for existing vehicles described in Section 4.3 of the Annex to Decision 2007/756/EC have expired or are expiring. The former registration entity responsible for vehicle registration should have made all required information available under an agreement between itself and the registration entity designated according to Article 4 of Decision 2007/756/EC. This information should have been transferred by 9 November 2008. The registration entity of each Member State should have entered vehicles used in international traffic in its NVR by 9 November 2009. The registration entity of each Member State should have entered vehicles used in domestic traffic in its NVR by 9 November 2010.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,
