• Introduce the notion of a limited administrative validity of driving licences (all new licences issued after the directive's introduction will have to be regularly renewed)
• Put an end to 'driving licence tourism by ensuring a coherent and pan-European application in case of driving licence withdrawal (to prevent the possibility of issuing a licence to someone who has committed a serious traffic offence in another member state) • Harmonise the periodicity of medical checks for professional drivers • Introduce minimum requirements for the initial qualifications and training of driving examiners • Reinforce, for road safety, progressive access to the most powerful trucks and buses For more information see: http://europa.eu.int/commltransport/home/drivinglicence/index en.htm
