I attended a meeting of EU Transport Ministers on 9 December and the draft Directive on Enforcement in the Field of Road Safety was one of the items on the agenda. In this context, a progress report on the draft Directive, presented by the French Presidency was noted. The draft Directive does not relate to the cross-border enforcement of all traffic laws, but specifically to the offences of drink driving, speeding, failure to wear seat belts, and failure to stop at a red light.

The draft Directive will now be a matter for the incoming Czech Presidency.
