Amendment 121 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) As fraud and misuse in relation to driving licences is less likely to occur than with driver cards,It is desirable to assess whether the recording equipment system would be more reliable and effective if drivers’ work-related cards were in future incorporated into driving licences. This approach wouldmight also reduce the administrative burden for drivers who would no longer need to apply for, receive and hold twoa number of different documents. An amendment to Directive 2006/126/EC should accordingly bbe envisaged on the basis of a comprehensive impact assessment demonstrating the benvisagedefits for all interested parties of incorporating cards in this way and the compatibility of such a measure with data protection requirements.
