The increasing mobility of European citizens has meant a significant increase in road traffic violations committed by drivers of vehicles registered in other Sates. The DGTREN project VERA2 defined the concept of a non-profit organisational and data-exchange network known as eNFORCE as a potential way to address these so-called non-resident violators.
Through VERA3, enforcement agencies in France, The Netherlands, Spain, Austria are developing and demonstrating eNFORCE in a pre-operational environment. VERA3 focuses on the exchange of violation information and notification of non-resident violators allowing delegation of authority to enforce financial penalties in accordance with Council Framework Decision 2005/214/JHA. It will also address how vehicle owner information can be exchanged. In this way, VERA3 will make a direct contribution to the European Commission's objective of halving the number of road traffic fatalities by 2010.
