Amending certain road transport and aviation Regulations as regards certain reporting requirements

The European Parliament adopted by 613 votes to 4, with 6 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulations (EC) No 80/2009, (EU) No 996/2010 and (EU) No 165/2014 as regards certain reporting requirements in the fields of road transport and aviation.

The European Parliament adopted its position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure.

Regulation (EC) No 80/2009 on a code of conduct for computerised reservation systems, Regulation (EU) No 996/2010 on the investigation and prevention of accidents and incidents in civil aviation and Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on tachographs in road transport lay down several reporting requirements in the fields of road transport and aviation, which should be simplified.

Parliament supports the European Commission's proposal to make limited and targeted changes to three regulations in order to streamline reporting obligations.

Concerning Regulation (EC) No 80/2009, the amending regulation provides that provides that the Commission may require any vendors of computerised reservation systems (CRSs) to submit an independently audited report detailing its ownership structure and governance model. Costs related to the audited report should be borne by the system vendor.

Concerning Regulation (EU) No 996/2010, the amending regulation deletes the provision that currently requires Member States to publish a yearly safety review.

Concerning Regulation (EC) No 165/2014, the amending regulation stipulates that the competent authorities of the Member States shall publish the list of approved workshops and the cards issued to them on a publicly available website and ensure that these lists are kept up to date at least annually.
