VERA2

Enabling pan-European cross-border automatic enforcement

To help ensure that automatic enforcement of road traffic laws is applied equitably to all EU citizens and supports their basic rights as enshrined in Article 1 of the Treaty on the European Union, VERA2 aims to develop the technical tools necessary to support cross-border enforcement and define relationships between enforcement agencies to govern the use of these tools. The project will build on the results of the VERA project, namely short- and long-term recommendations on enforcing traffic laws by video across Member States' borders.

Objectives

• Draft and agree on a Memorandum of Understanding to define interagency relationships and responsibilities related to cross-border enforcement
• Develop and test a common format for the exchange of data relating to cross-border enforcement
• Establish the basis of an operational framework within which cross-border enforcement can be implemented, monitored and maintained
• Develop a common basis for the type approval of enforcement equipment throughout Europe
