[01] Commission proposes reduced fine for Cyprus as regards driving licences

Since the previous court referral decision in June, Cyprus has notified a measure that partially transposes Directive 2006/126/EC.

To take these new developments into account the Commission has reduced the proposed daily penalty payment to 6504.96 euro.

[02] EU credibility at stake due to disagreements on budget, Mavroyiannis says

Speaking Wednesday before the European Parliament in Strasburg, following the recent disagreements between the member states and the MEPs, Mavroyiannis expressed his hope that a compromise will be found and the divergences will be lifted.

The Cypriot Minister said that the Presidency has worked hard in order to reconcile the different positions, however the various sides did not show sufficient flexibility in order to reach an agreement.

[03] EC requests Bulgaria, Cyprus and Portugal to take further measures on deployment of intelligent transport systems

According to the Commission, the three Member States have not fully transposed this directive into national law, although they were required to do so by 27 February 2012. According to the directive, Member States shall ensure that the specifications adopted by the Commission are applied to ITS applications and services, when these are deployed. The lack of timely transposition of the Directive could undermine the effectiveness and the timely application of these specifications.
