EU Introduces Single Driving Licence

JTW News

"EU Introduces Single Driving Licence
EU member states have agreed on a plan to replace the 110 existing types of driving licences with a single document to be valid across the bloc.

The plan is expected to be officially approved by EU ministers at a meeting on 27 March.

The move became possible after Germany and Austria withdrew their objections against legislative details in the plan and agreed that each member state can choose between ten and fifteen years for the validity of the documents.

The first new driving licences are to be issued in 2012. They will look like a credit card with a photo and a microchip.

The old types of driving licence are to be recognized not after 2032.
