8a. The Commission may assess whether a third country has professional driver training and/or certification rules and examination procedures that are wholly or partially comparable to those of the Union, as well as a level of road safety, which would justify allowing the holder of a Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), or equivalent issued by the third country to be exchanged for a new CPC, issued by a Member State. On the basis of the assessment, the Commission may adopt an implementing act allowing this exchange on condition that the holder of the CPC completes additional competence training up to 35 hours to be conducted in the most practicable language, with, if necessary, appropriate language support, in line with the provisions of the EU Driver Training Directive (EU) 2022/2561, to ensure high level of competence and road safety. Member States shall have six months to provide their opinion on the Commission assessment regarding a third country. The implementing act shall not apply until the Commission has received an opinion from all Member States or until six months from the entry into force of the implementing act concerned, whichever is the earlier.
