Use of the EUCARIS system in Finland

Finland is participant of EUCARIS and providing vehicle and driving licence information based on the EUCARIS Treaty.

In addition Finland makes use of the EUCARIS technology for information exchange based on

  • the EU Prüm Council Decisions (2008/615/JHA and 2008/616/JHA),
  • the Cross Border Enforcement Directive (2015/413/EU, CBE)
  • legislation concerning the European Register of Road Transport Undertakings (ERRU), the regulations (EU) No 1071/2009, 1072/2009, 1073/2009 and 1213/2010
  • the 3rd Driving Licence Directive (2006/126/EU, RESPER)
  • the Directive on the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles (2014/47/EU, RSI)
  • the Road Safety Directive (2015/413/EU) and
  • Council Regulation concerning administrative cooperation and combating fraud in the field of value added tax  (2010/904/EU), Commission Implementing Regulation (2012/79/EU, VAT).

Currently Finland is busy with the implementation of ProDriveNet for exchange of Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), TOLL service for  exchange of information on the failure to pay road fees, and EUCARIS for CoC data exchange between vehicle type approval authorities.
