Driving licence, new Community model (amend. Directive 91/439/EEC)

The Commission incorporated three of the eight amendments adopted by the European Parliament at first reading and amended its proposal as follows: - the term "printed" was replaced by "listed" with reference to the information specific to the licence issued; - the option for Member States to include vital medical information at the holder's request (e.g. blood group, allergies etc.) and the holder's willingness to be an organ donor was added; - the provision allowing Member States to introduce markings, symbols or other security features on side 1 of the licence was broadened. However, the Commission did not incorporate amendments seeking to delete the words "European Communities model" on the licence and define the tax to be collected by the Member States.�
