2016/0822(CNS)

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted, in line with the consultation procedure, the report by Maria GRAPINI (S&D, RO) on the draft Council implementing decision on the automated data exchange with regard to vehicle registration data in Malta, Cyprus and Estonia, and replacing Decisions 2014/731/EU, 2014/743/EU and 2014/744/EU.

The committee recommended the European Parliament to approve the Council draft.

The proposed Council implementing Decision seeks, for the purpose of automated searching of vehicle registration data (VRD), to authorise Malta, Cyprus and Estonia to continue to be entitled to receive and supply personal data pursuant to Decision 2008/615/JHA on the stepping up of cross-border cooperation, particularly in combating terrorism and cross-border crime.
