News in Brief; European Commission proposal for optional "smart card" vehicle registration instead of paper documents

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

Interestingly the "lifetime" of the smart card is ten years - the same proposed maximum for EU driving licences (see: EU driving licences to be renewed every 10 years and new security features added each time: Report) - after which the "chip" could be updated: Directive 2003/127/EC (pdf with lots of tehnical detail)

Our work is only possible with your support.
