| Bulgaria is now connected to TACHOnet |
|
 |
On 11 November 2008 the European Commission announced that Bulgaria has successfully completed the TACHOnet test and has entered into the production phase. Accordingly, Member states have now the opportunity to check the issuance of their respective Tachograph cards through the Bulgarian Cards Issuing Authority as well.
The contact details of the Bulgarian CIA are available on the MIDT website.
Bulgaria is the 26th country connected to TACHOnet, while Andorra, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary and Monaco are expected to join soon the system in production as they are currently carrying out their final test phases.

| Greece has started issuing tachograph cards |
|
|
Greece has officially started issuing digital tachograph cards as from the 3rd of November 2008. The Greek CIA Information System is therefore operational and ready to process the collected applications. The functional connection to TACHOnet is, however, not yet operational but Greece expects to connect to this system in the very weeks to come.
With this achievement by the Greek Authorities, all the Member States of the European Union are now issuing digital tachograph cards.

| MIDT taken over by CORTE |
|
|
After a successful collaboration of the Swedish Road Administration and the European Commission DG TREN, the MIDT project officially came to its end in March 2008. Following, the administration and management of the project were handed over to the Confederation of Organisations in Road Transport Enforcement (CORTE, www.corte.be), located in Brussels. CORTE intends to continue with all project-related activities, whereas the next project meetings are scheduled on 23 and 24 June 2008 in the Slovenian town of Bled. |

| Commission addresses 8 Member States on Directive 2006/22/EC |
|
|
The European Commission has sent reasoned opinions – the last step before a formal complaint to the Court of Justice – to Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and the United Kingdom for failure to notify their national measures transposing Directive 2006/22/EC which should have been transposed into national law by 1 April 2007. The Directive sets out minimum conditions for implementing new rules in the road transport sector on driving times and rest periods and on the introduction of the digital tachograph. By failing to implement this Directive, the Member States lack the necessary legal tools to promote fair competition within the sector and improve road safety.

| Digital tachograph implementation: Commission takes Greece to the Court of Justice |
|
|
The European Commission launched a court proceeding against Greece for failure to properly introduce the digital tachograph system. Regulation 3821/85 requires that digital tachographs must be fitted into all goods vehicles and buses that come into scope of the Drivers' Hours Rules and that are registered after 1st May 2006. Greece has failed to take required measures, in particular it had not yet established its national card issuing authority and system for producing and securely distributing the tachograph cards. |
