Open until 25th October, the consultation is part of a process of assessing the implementation of Directive 2003/59/EC on the compulsory initial qualification and periodic training for professional drivers.

The EC’s online questionnaire asks whether the directive has met its objectives and what specific action and measures may need to be adopted to improve its effectiveness. In particular, the consultation addresses the issue of mutual recognition of professional drivers’ training, notably the CPC.

The aim is also to identify new common requirements by analysing the different existing structures.

The consultation is available on the European Commission website.
