02/12/2014 (Agence Europe) - Traffic offence information exchange. The European Parliament has a negotiating brief for revising the legal basis of the directive on information exchange between member states on traffic offences. The first inter-institutional trilogue meeting will take place next week in which the European Parliament's rapporteur Inès Ayala Sender (S&D, Spain) will take part. Following a ruling by the European Court of Justice against the legal basis of “police cooperation”, revision of the directive is currently taking place so that transport becomes the legal basis of it, which should be completed by May 2015.
