Subject: 
Preparation of the Council meeting (Transport, Telecommunication and 
Energy) on 10 June 2013 
Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending 
Council Directive 1999/37/EC on the registration documents for vehicles 

General approach 
 
 
I. 
Introduction 
 
The proposal for a Directive on the registration documents for vehicles amending Council Directive 
1999/37/EC is part of the "roadworthiness package", together with the Regulation on periodic 
roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers and the Regulation on the technical 
roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating in the Union. The 
"roadworthiness package" was submitted to the Council on 13 July 2012.

The objective of this proposal is to lay down updated harmonised rules on the registration 
documents of vehicles subject to roadworthiness tests and roadside inspections, with a view to 
enhancing road safety and environmental protection, as well as for ensuring fair competition in the 
transport sector. The proposal aims at contributing to reach the target of a reduction of road 
fatalities by half until 2020 as laid down in the Policy Orientations on Road Safety 2011-2020. It 
will also contribute to the reduction of administrative burdens regarding the procedure of 
withdrawal of registration for technically dangerous vehicles and ease the exchange of information 
between Member States with regard to vehicle related information kept in national registers.  
 
II. 
Work within the Council 
 
The Working Party on Land Transport (hereinafter referred to as the "Working Group") examined 
the impact assessment accompanying the roadworthiness package on 7 and 14 September 2012. The 
examination of the proposal on the registration documents started on 13 May 2013 and was 
concluded on 28 May 2013.  
 
The recitals of this proposal were not yet examined by the Working Party. They will be examined at 
a later stage taking into account the result of the examination of the articles. 
 
On 5 June 2013, the draft general approach was examined by Coreper. The Presidency took note of 
the delegations comments with a view to proposing a compromise text to the next meeting of the 
TTE Council. During this Coreper meeting, the outstanding issues were solved. The changes in the 
Annex to this report compared to the previous document (doc. 10206/13) examined at the last 
Coreper meeting are indicated in bold and strikethrough in the document.  
 
OUTSTANDING ISSUES 
 
UK has a parliamentary scrutiny reservation on the proposal, which however could be lifted before 
the Council meeting.

The Commission has also indicated it has a general reservation on the proposal, while waiting for 
the EP's vote at first reading, and on some specific issues of the Presidency compromise proposal, 
which also appear in the footnotes of the Annex.  
 
III.  Conclusion 
 
The Council is invited to examine the text as set out in the Annex to this report with a view to 
adopting a general approach at its meeting on 10 June 2013.
