The European Commission Fourth Framework Project TR4027 'VERA' (Video Enforcement for Road Authorities) examined opportunities to harmonise different aspects of the enforcement of traffic laws across the European Union.

VERA2 examined the legal basis for cross-border enforcement aligning much of its work with the Framework Decision (2005/214/JHA) on the Application of the Principle of Mutual Recognition to Financial Penalties.

VERA2 developed the concept of a cross border data exchange network for enforcement. The concept, known as eNFORCE, comprises a 'network' of agencies and organisations competent in carrying out the responsibilities associated with cross-border enforcement and a data exchange service
