Until Belgium's central register of driving licences becomes sufficiently reliable, the Belgian authorities will share information only on vehicles. They will therefore enter a general reservation concerning the EUCARIS treaty's provisions on driving licences until Belgium joins the European Vehicle and Driving Licence Information System.

Designation of a national central authority

(Article 23 of the Treaty)

Le Service public fédéral Mobilité et Transports / Federale Overheidsdienst Mobiliteit en Vervoer

— Directorat général Mobilité et Sécurité routière / Directoraat-generaal Mobiliteit en Verkeersveiligheid.

The German public authority responsible for managing registers under article 23 of the EUCARIS treaty is the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). Address: Foerderstrasse 16, 24944 Flensburg.

The minister responsible for transport in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is also the competent authority responsible for implementing the EUCARIS treaty. The minister may entrust the day-to-day management of the European Vehicle and Driving Licence Information System to the Société Nationale de Contrôle Technique (SNCT) according to rules to be laid down by Luxembourg law.

The national central authority responsible for the management of the central database of vehicles and drivers licenses of the Grand-Duchy of Luxemburg is:

In accordance with article 18 of the EUCARIS Treaty, Romania designates the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing as its national supervisory authority, and in accordance with article 23, designates the Directorate for Driving Licenses and Vehicle Registration Certificates of the Ministry of Administration and the Interior as its national central registration authority responsible for managing the central registers of vehicles and driving licences.

In compliance with Article 24, paragraph 1 of the EUCARIS Treaty, every state that implements the dispositions of data protection according to the directive 95/46/CE of the European Parliament and the Council of 24 October 1995, can request accession to the Treaty.

Albania as an official candidate to accession to the European Union doesn't however belong to the third countries for which the European Commission has certified the appropriate level of data protection.

Therefore, from the German point of view, at first it is necessary that the European Commission certifies the level of data protection determined by the communal directive 95/46/EC for Albania. Accession of Albania to the EUCARIS Treaty is not admissible until this condition has been fulfilled.

The Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs has informed the Albanian authorities of this objection and has not yet received a response from them.

According to the second paragraph of Article 24 of the Treaty, requests for membership, in order to be accepted, have to receive unanimous agreement from the contracting Parties.
