2 Aims of this presentation Present the approach of The Netherlands and RDW (Dutch responsible a.o. for Vehicle Registration) regarding first registration of brand new vehicles. Discuss a proposal for an amendment regulating the delivery of digital CoCs in the envisaged revision of Directive 2007/46/EC.

3 Current situation in The Netherlands Vehicle registration is based on the Electronic Type Approval Registration (ETR) that is initially filled and maintained by RDW and contains information on all types, versions and variants, including those not meant for the Dutch market. Following an application for a vehicle licence by a citizen or importer, RDW derives almost all relevant vehicle data from this ETR. Only a few data have to be delivered. The process is highly automated, so fast and cost effective. Disadvantage is that the Type Approval contains for a series of data elements only range values and no exact data for the specific vehicle. This is a problem a.o. for taxation, where taxes are based on the mass and some environmental parameters of the vehicle.

4 New approach RDW decided to base the first registration on the CoC, as delivered with the vehicle, starting from Main goal: improvement of the quality of the registration by using exact values for all data elements, belonging to a specific vehicle. Evidently the approach has to be in line with the EU legislation. Benefits: Minimal administrative burden and costs for citizens, manufacturers/importers and the Registration Fast procedure Minimal risk of errors at registration

5 Realisation The procedure to process a paper CoC is preserved. We have developed a new procedure to process bulk applications for registration in an automated way, based on electronic delivery of CoCs by the manufacturers or (licenced) importers. This allows the importers/dealers to acquire licence plates and to deal with tax issues even before the first owner/holder of the vehicle is known. The bulk procedure is faster and cheaper than the procedure using paper CoCs. Electronic delivery of CoCs is conditional for the bulk procedure.

6 Distribution model RDW cooperates with other RAs in EReg and has adopted a distribution model as developed by EReg/TAAM: We use a standardised CoC message (XML) defined by EReg/TAAM Manufacturers deliver a digital CoC to one of the Type Approval Authorities (TAA) over internet These Authorities distribute CoCs via the existing EUCARIS system (present in all EU countries) over a closed EU network (stesta) CoCs are stored in a database at the TAA that issued the underlying Type Approval The TAA checks the validity and correctness of the CoC by comparing it with the Type Approval From the database the CoCs are retrieved by or are forwarded to the RA of the country of destination of the vehicle. NL has discussed this approach with other EReg members and ACEA/ACEM and noticed a lot of support.

8 Suggested amendments to 2007/46/EC 1. The format of the CoC message has to be regulated; that would stimulate the manufacturers to participate, even if digital CoCs were still optional. 2. It has to be indicated to what a digital CoC has to be delivered. We suggest to choose the Type Approval that issued the corresponding TA, because the (RA of the) country of destination is often not known yet at the moment the CoC is produced and because the CoC would then always be traceable (based on the country code in the TA number). 3. After a certain transition period we could decide to make the delivery of digital CoCs mandatory. For all clarity: Paper CoCs should in our opinion be preserved (no change). 4. Details of the data exchange should be regulated via implementing acts.
