REPORT on the proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the interoperability of electronic road toll systems and facilitating cross-border exchange of information on the failure to pay road fees in the Union (recast) PDF (1013 KB) DOC (159 KB)
Amendments (6)
Amendment 21 #
(5) Artificial barriers to the operation of the internal market should be removed, while still allowing the Member States and the Union to implement a variety of road- charging policies for all types of vehicles at local, national or international level. The equipment installed in vehicles should allow such road-charging policies to be implemented in accordance with the principles of non-discrimination between the citizens of all Member States. The interoperability of electronic toll systems at Union level therefore needs to be ensured as soon as possible in order to reduce financial outlay and the administrative burden.

(10) Electronic tolling and co-operative ITS (C-ITS) applications use similar technologies and neighbouring frequency bands for short range vehicle-to- vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. In the future, the potential for merging electronic tolling with C-ITS in the 5.9 GHz band, currently used by C- ITS, should be explored, after a thorough assessment of the costs, benefits, technical barriers and possible solutions thereto.
