". In our opinion, it is a good thing as far as possible to harmonise the rules for, and appearance of, driving licences within the European Union. The Commission proposal for a directive has become too detailed, however, as have the amendments tabled in the European Parliament. In our opinion, the principle of subsidiarity and the country of origin principle should apply to the provisions governing driving licences for motorcycles and mopeds. The validity of driving licences and the need, or otherwise, for medical examinations of their holders are also issues on which we believe in the principle of mutual recognition and have confidence in the Member States’ ability to make well-considered, sensible decisions. It is often said that the Member States have to trust each other when it comes to legislation and rules. In our opinion, that is also the way it should be with regard to provisions on driving licences. We are voting against this report, as we are of the opinion that provisions on driving licences can be harmonised without this detailed proposal for a directive. Besides, we already have a directive on driving licences that has regulated the appearance of driving licences issued within the EU."@en1
