Bitkom supports the EU Commission's goal of further digitalising the transport sector and making things noticeably easier for citizens and mobility providers in the EU by digitalising the registration system.
The proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on vehicle registration documents and vehicle registration data recorded in national vehicle registers and repealing Council Directive 1999/37/EC provides the right impetus and is to be welcomed in principle. At the same time, key points for the widespread use of the digital registration certificate must be clarified or adapted and the use of the register data optimised.
