Statements

concerning Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2010 on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in the field of road transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport

Statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on Article 290 TFEU

‘The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission declare that the provisions of this Directive shall be without prejudice to any future position of the institutions as regards the implementation of Article 290 TFEU or individual legislative acts containing such provisions.’

Commission statement on the deployment of ITS priority actions

‘1.

Article 6(2) of the text of the Council position at first reading is worded as follows:

2.

The Commission shall aim at adopting specifications for one or more of the priority actions by … (1).

At the latest 12 months after the adoption of the necessary specifications for a priority action, the Commission shall, where appropriate, after conducting an impact assessment including a cost-benefit analysis, present a proposal to the European Parliament and the Council in accordance with Article 294 of the TFEU on the deployment of that priority action.

2.

On the basis of the information currently available, the Commission takes the view that for the adoption of the necessary specifications for the priority actions as referred to in Article 3, the following indicative time table could be envisaged:

Table 1:   Indicative time-table for the adoption of specifications for priority actions

Specifications for:

No later than end of:

the provision of EU-wide multimodal travel information services as set out in Article 3(a)

2014

the provision of EU-wide real-time traffic information services as set out in Article 3(b)

2013

the data and procedures for the provision, where possible, of road safety related minimum universal traffic information free of charge to users as set out in Article 3(c)

2012

the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall as set out in Article 3(d)

2012

the provision of information services concerning safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles as set out in Article 3(e)

2012

the provision of reservation services concerning safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles as set out in Article 3(f)

2013

This indicative timetable is based upon the assumption that agreement on the ITS Directive between the EP and the Council is reached through early second reading at the beginning of 2010.’

Commission statement on liability

‘The deployment and use of ITS applications and services may raise a number of liability issues that can be a major barrier to wide market penetration of some ITS services. Addressing these issues constitutes one of the priority actions put forward by the Commission in its ITS Action Plan.

Taking into account existing national and Community legislation on liability, and notably Directive 1999/34/EC, the Commission will carefully monitor the developments in the Member States concerning the deployment and use of ITS applications and services. If necessary and appropriate, the Commission will elaborate guidelines on liability, notably describing the stakeholders’ obligations in relation to the implementation and use of ITS applications and services.’

Commission statement concerning the notification on delegated acts

‘The European Commission takes note that except in cases where the legislative act provides for an urgency procedure, the European Parliament and the Council consider that the notification of delegated acts shall take into account the periods of recess of the institutions (winter, summer and European elections), in order to ensure that the European Parliament and the Council are able to exercise their prerogatives within the time limits laid down in the relevant legislative acts, and is ready to act accordingly.’

(1)  Please insert the date: 30 months following the date of entry into force of this Directive.
