EUCARIS Introduction

What is EUCARIS? The basics EUropean CAR and driving licence Information System Infrastructure Initiative of 5 EU registration authorities in early nineties Organisation Application

What is EUCARIS? Aims of the system Original aims of the system: Prevention of fraud and crime related to import / export of stolen vehicles Facilitation of the registration process of imported vehicles Facilitation of the exchange of driving licences Accurate records in national databases Nowadays: General exchange mechanism for all transport related data between all registration authorities of Europe System is used by registration authorities, police, customs, etc

EUCARIS at the moment Technical information of vehicles 18 participants 6.6 million enquiries per year 16.000 refused re-registrations 3.000 stolen vehicles found per year Driving licence information 7 participants Treaty / Council Decision Prüm, in 2011 all 27 Member States connected Bilateral Agreements on Traffic Fines

Members are Parties to the Treaty Members are Third Parties to EUCARIS What is EUCARIS Legal basis Legal basis Prüm Treaty / Council decision EUCARIS Treaty Bilateral agreements Members are Parties to the Treaty Members are Third Parties to EUCARIS Registration autorities Including technical data Also driving licence information Traffic fines, toll, etc Any information possible Police cooperation Owner / holder Insurance information Limited technical data

What is EUCARIS? Organisation > Registration Authority as the national contact point > System is used by Registration Authorities, Police, Customs, Inspection authorities, tax offices, (enforcement) … > Highest Authority is Participant’s Board of participating Countries > Nominated parties for central tasks: - Depositary - Operational system management - Helpdesk ICT - Monitoring - Secretariat - Finances > Annual cost sharing between the participants No profit // only governmental // no private organisations involved

What is EUCARIS? Budget Our annual costs for EUCARIS include four elements: Connection to sTESTA: Costs are € 40.000 yearly, but these costs are only applicable for direct connections. One connection per member state is free, so if you connect via this connection point (e.g. via your national network), you will not have any costs at all. Within RDW the sTESTA costs are shared between TACHOnet, EUCARIS Vehicles and Driving Licences, and Prüm. So costs for Prüm are € 10.000. Hardware: We operate two production servers (automated fail-over for 99% availability) and one permanent test-acceptation server. Costs for each server are € 10.000 yearly, including depreciation, maintenance and general ICT overhead. Costs are to be shared by EUCARIS Vehicles, Driving Licences and Prüm. So costs for Prüm are € 30.000/3 = € 10.000 Personnel: We yearly spend 300 man-hours on system administration for EUCARIS Vehicles, Driving Licences and Prüm, so 100 hours for Prüm. Costs for Prüm are 100 * € 100 = € 10.000 Yearly fee for EUCARIS: For 2011 the basic contribution is around € 8.000. In NL these costs are shared by Prüm, EUCARIS Vehicles, EUCARIS Driving Licences and Traffic Fines (bulk exchange of Owner/Holder info via EUCARIS). Costs for Prüm: € 2000. So our total costs for Prüm are € 32.000 yearly. Please be aware of the following: We only refer to the costs at the Registration Authority (provision of information). Costs at our Police Organisation (users) are not included. In NL costs for Prüm are low because we use different EUCARIS services and share the costs. If you only use the Prüm functionality you still need a sTESTA connection and two or three servers and you will have to pay the yearly fee for EUCARIS alone. EUCARIS countries pre-finance new functionalities, e.g. for ERRU Basic contribution for all connections

New functionalities In cooperation with the EC the technology (system) of EUCARIS is also introduced for: 3rd Directive on Driving Licences (project RESPER) EU Directive on cross border enforcement eCall project of DG INFSO Exchange of mileage information – Bilateral between B and NL Tachograph cards (project TACHOnet) Modernisation and data providing about periodical technical vehicle inspections (PTI project)

EUCARIS Main characteristics Information exchange on vehicles, driving licences and other tranport related items No central system: Each MS responsible for its own data Registration authority is gateway to other MS and its own users No dependence on availibility of a central system Shared costs for application development Easy to deploy in the member states

EUCARIS ERRU

ERRU – How Based on the proposed Regulation  two sorts of information exchange Infringements – Member States communicate information on infringements committed by operators (+ sanctions) to the Member State which issued their licence Good repute - Member States consult relevant information held by all other States to assist them in deciding whether or not to issue or renew an operator’s licence. Messages Infringement notification Infringement response Search request regarding the fitness of transport manager Search response

Serious Infringements Infringement Notification Acknowledgement Infringement Response

Advantages of one interface via one NCP One standardised interface between Europe and national organisations - One time installation of generic functionality - No interoperability issues (all MS use the same interface) - Resulting in reduction of costs Increased service levels - Investment in a cluster of servers shared by different stakeholders - Fail-over guarantees higher availability - Load balancing guarantees better performance - National monitoring and support concentrated Possibilities for integrated client applications: vehicle, owner/holder, DL, Tachograph card, transport undertakings ……….
