    ANNEX I

    GENERAL ASPECTS OF ERRU

    1.   ARCHITECTURE

    ERRU shall be composed of the following parts:

    1.1. 

    A central hub, which shall be able to receive a request from the requesting Member State, validate it and process it by forwarding it to the responding Member States. The central hub will wait for each responding Member State to answer, consolidate all the answers and forward the consolidated response to the requesting Member State.

    1.2. 

    A national system per Member State, which shall be fitted with an interface capable of both sending requests to the central hub and receiving the corresponding replies. National systems may use propriety or commercial software to transmit and receive messages from the central hub.

    ▼M1

    1.3. 

    All messages exchanged shall be routed through the central hub.

    ▼B

    2.   MANAGEMENT

    2.1.

    The central hub shall be managed by the Commission, which shall be responsible for the technical operation and maintenance of the central hub.

    ▼M1

    2.2.

    The central hub shall not store data for a period exceeding 6 months, other than the logging, statistical and routing data set out in Annex VII.

    2.3.

    The central hub shall not provide access to personal data, except for authorised Commission personnel, when necessary for the purpose of monitoring the technical operation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

    ▼B

    2.4.

    Member States shall be responsible for:

    2.4.1. 

    The setup and management of their national systems, including the interface with the central hub.

    2.4.2. 

    The installation and maintenance of their national system, both hardware and software, whether proprietary or commercial.

    2.4.3. 

    The correct interoperability of their national system with the central hub, including the management of error messages received from the central hub.

    2.4.4. 

    Taking all the measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information.

    2.4.5. 

    The operation of the national systems in accordance with the service levels set out in Annex VI.

    2.5.

    MOVEHUB web portal

    The Commission shall provide a web based application with secured access, referred to as ‘MOVEHUB web portal’, providing at least the following services:

    (a) 

    Member State availability statistics

    (b) 

    Notification of maintenance on the central hub and Member State national systems.

    (c) 

    Aggregated reports

    (d) 

    Contact management

    (e) 

    XSD schemas

    ▼M1

    2.6.

    Contact management

    The contact management functionality will provide each Member State with the ability to manage the contact details regarding policy, business, operational and technical categories of that Member State, being each Member State's competent authority responsible for the maintenance of its own contacts. It will be possible to view, but not edit, the contact details of the other Member States.

    ▼B




    ANNEX II

    ERRU FUNCTIONALITIES

    ▼M2

    1. The following functionalities shall be provided through ERRU:

    1.1. 

    Check Good Repute (CGR): allows the requesting Member State to send a query to one or all responding Member States, to determine the fitness of a transport manager and so the authorisation to operate a transport undertaking.

    1.2. 

    Notification of Check Result (NCR): allows the Member State where the check was carried out to notify the result of a check to the Member State of establishment. When a serious infringement has been found during the check, the Member State where the infringement was detected notifies the Member State of establishment through NCR that the transport undertaking has committed a serious infringement, and may request penalties to be applied to the transport undertaking in the Member State of establishment. When no infringement has been detected during the check, NCR allows the Member State where the check has been carried out to notify the Member State of establishment the positive result of the check.

    1.3. 

    Check Transport Undertaking Data (CTUD): allows the requesting Member State to send a query to the responding Member State about the following data that are specific to a transport undertaking:

    — 
    information about the Community Licence and the certified true copies,
    — 
    risk rating and risk rating band,
    — 
    number of vehicles at the disposal of the transport undertaking,
    — 
    registration number and registration country of the vehicles at the disposal of the transport undertaking,
    — 
    number of employees.
    1.4. 

    Notification of Unfitness (NU): allows a Member State to inform all other Member States that a transport manager has been declared unfit and that as a result, its certificate of professional competence is no longer valid in any Member State.

    ▼B

    2. Other message types deemed suitable for the efficient functioning of ERRU shall be included, for instance error notifications.




    ANNEX III
