Recital 22 а (new)
(22а) Following the harmonisation of equipment and procedures, and the follow-up checks on and qualifications of the workers responsible for carrying out the roadworthiness tests, the test certificates issued in the various Member States should be mutually recognised. This would enable the tests to be carried out periodically in any Member State of the European Union, thus eliminating the requirement for the vehicle to be returned for this purpose to the country in which it was registered. This would also cut unnecessary costs to the economy and the consumer and reduce not only the adverse environmental impacts of road traffic but also the accident risk..

(25) Roadworthiness testing is part of a wider regulatory scheme, governing vehicles throughout their lifetime from approval via registrations, inspections until scrapping. The development and interconnection of national and manufacturers' electronic vehicle databases should in principle contribute to improve the efficiency of the whole vehicle administrative chain and reduce costs and administrative burdens. The Commission should therefore carry out a study on the feasibility, costs and benefits of setting-up a European electronic vehicle information platform for this purposeoptimisation and adaptation to this legislative act of already existing electronic platforms containing information about vehicles, such as the European Registers of Road Transport Undertakings (ERRU).
