(2) with reference to the written ministerial statement of 8 October 2008, Official Report, column 18WS, on the EU Transport Council, what progress has been made on overcoming the practical and legal difficulties of cross-border enforcement for non-resident drivers escaping financial penalties for road safety infringements; and if he will make a statement.
The proposed EU directive on cross- border enforcement is not on the Transport Council agenda under the current presidency and I am not aware of any further work having been done on the proposed directive following the December Transport Council.
