The European Transport, Telecommunication and Energy (TTE) Council made significant progress towards resolving outstanding issues in the proposed Directive for deployment of ITS in Europe during its meeting in December.

During the meeting, the European Parliament signalled its readiness to accept the substance of the text. The Council has now invited the competent bodies to finalise the agreement with the Parliament so that the Directive can be adopted by both institutions once the Council has adopted its first-reading position at a forthcoming meeting.

The proposal for the Directive, the council statement and other documents can be read in full on the EC website.
