COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/480

of 1 April 2016

establishing common rules concerning the interconnection of national electronic registers on road transport undertakings and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1213/2010

(Text with EEA relevance)

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/EC(1), and in particular Article 16(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 establishes the obligation for Member States to keep a national electronic register of road transport undertakings which have been authorised by a competent authority to engage in the occupation of road transport operator. The relevant data contained in the national electronic registers should be made accessible to all the competent authorities of the other Member States. Article 16(5) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 require the national electronic registers to be interconnected by 31 December 2012, mandating the Commission to adopt common rules concerning such interconnection. On the basis of this mandate, the Commission adopted Regulation (EU) No 1213/2010(2), in order to facilitate the interconnection of the national electronic registers through a message exchange system called ERRU (European Registers of Road Transport Undertakings). The latter became operational on 31 December 2012.

(2) During the last 3 years of operation of ERRU, the Commission, along with experts from Member States, has identified a certain number of aspects related to the practical use of ERRU that do not fully correspond to the administrative processes set up in Member States.

(3) It is therefore necessary to address the shortcomings that have been identified in the daily operation of ERRU, aligning it with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009, Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3) and Regulation (EC) No 1073/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council(4), as well as guaranteeing that ERRU is used in a uniform manner by competent authorities throughout the EU. Moreover, it is necessary to adapt the existing rules to the technical and scientific progress.

(4) Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/403(5) with regard to the classification of serious infringements of the Union rules, sets out a new list of categories, types and degrees of seriousness of serious infringements of Union rules, which in addition to those set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009, may lead to the loss of good repute of the road transport undertaking or the transport manager. It is therefore necessary to enable ERRU to transmit information on the new list of infringements.

(5) The provisions on personal data protection, as laid down in particular by Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(6), apply to the processing of any personal data pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009. In particular, Member States must implement appropriate security measures to prevent misuse of personal data.

(6) Where applicable, the provisions on personal data protection, as laid down by Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council(7) apply to the processing of any personal data pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009.

(7) Due to substantial amount of changes which should be made to the common rules for the implementation of the interconnection of the national electronic registers, it is necessary to replace Regulation (EU) No 1213/2010 by a new act. Regulation (EU) No 1213/2010 should therefore be repealed.

(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council(8),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

ANNEX I

GENERAL ASPECTS OF ERRU

1. ARCHITECTURE

ERRU shall be composed of the following parts:

1.1.

A central hub, which shall be able to receive a request from the requesting Member State, validate it and process it by forwarding it to the responding Member States. The central hub will wait for each responding Member State to answer, consolidate all the answers and forward the consolidated response to the requesting Member State.

1.2.

A national system per Member State, which shall be fitted with an interface capable of both sending requests to the central hub and receiving the corresponding replies. National systems may use propriety or commercial software to transmit and receive messages from the central hub.

1.3.

As an alternative to 1.1, Member States may choose to use a compatible commercial network to exchange messages amongst themselves. In that case, each competent authority will provide statistics on the messages exchanged within that network to the central hub.

2. MANAGEMENT

2.1. The central hub shall be managed by the Commission, which shall be responsible for the technical operation and maintenance of the central hub.

2.2. The central hub shall not store data for a period exceeding 6 months, other than the logging and statistical data set out in Annex VII.

2.3. The central hub shall not provide access to personal data, except for authorised Commission personnel, when necessary for the purpose of maintenance and troubleshooting.

2.4. Member States shall be responsible for:

2.4.1.

The setup and management of their national systems, including the interface with the central hub.

2.4.2.

The installation and maintenance of their national system, both hardware and software, whether proprietary or commercial.

2.4.3.

The correct interoperability of their national system with the central hub, including the management of error messages received from the central hub.

2.4.4.

Taking all the measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information.

2.4.5.

The operation of the national systems in accordance with the service levels set out in Annex VI.

2.5. MOVEHUB web portal

The Commission shall provide a web based application with secured access, referred to as ‘MOVEHUB web portal’, providing at least the following services:

(a) Member State availability statistics

(b) Notification of maintenance on the central hub and Member State national systems.

(d) Contact management

(e) XSD schemas

2.6. Contact management

The contact management functionality will provide each Member State with the ability to manage the contact details regarding policy, business, operational and technical users of that Member State, being each Member State's competent authority responsible for the maintenance of its own contacts. It will be possible to view, but not edit, the contact details of the other Member States.

ANNEX II

ERRU FUNCTIONALITIES

The following functionalities shall be provided through ERRU:

1.1.

Check Good Repute (CGR): allows the requesting Member State to send a query to one or all responding Member States, to determine the fitness of a transport manager and so the authorisation to operate a transport undertaking.

1.2.

Infringement Notification (INF): allows the Member State of infringement to notify the Member State of establishment that the transport undertaking has committed a serious infringement as referred to in Article 6(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009. It also allows the Member State of infringement to request that penalties be applied to the transport undertaking in the Member State of establishment.

1.3.

Check Community Licence (CCL): allows the requesting Member State to send a query to the responding Member State (i.e. the Member State of establishment) to determine if a transport undertaking is operating with a valid Community licence.

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

ANNEX III

ERRU MESSAGE PROVISIONS

1. GENERAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

1.1. The central hub will provide both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces for the exchange of messages. Member States may choose the most suitable technology to interface with their own applications.

1.2. All messages exchanged between the central hub and the national systems must be UTF-8 encoded.

1.3. Member States will ensure that their national systems can receive and process messages containing Greek or Cyrillic characters.

2. XML MESSAGES STRUCTURE AND SCHEMA DEFINITION (XSD)

2.1. The general structure of XML messages shall follow the format defined by the XSD schemas installed in the central hub.

2.2. The central hub and the national systems shall transmit and receive messages that conform to the message XSD schema.

2.3. National systems will be capable of sending, receiving and processing all messages corresponding to any of the functionalities set out in Annex II.
