United Kingdom
Member States shall designate a national body competent to assess whether the requirements set out in Articles 4 to 7 are fulfilled by service providers, parking operators and road operators. This body shall be impartial and independent from the latter.
Two or more Member States may designate a common regional body competent to assess compliance with those requirements on their territories.
Member States shall notify the nominated body to the Commission.
All services providers shall submit a declaration to the designated bodies on their compliance with the requirements set out in Articles 4 to 7.
The declaration shall contain the following elements:
the collected data, pursuant to Article 4 collected on safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles including the percentage of parking places registered in the information service;
the means of dissemination of the information services to users;
the coverage of dynamic information services on safe and secure parking places;
the quality and availability of the information provided, point of access to the information and the format in which that information is provided.
Designated bodies shall randomly inspect the correctness of the declarations of a number of public and private service providers and parking operators, and request a demonstration of compliance with the requirements set out in Articles 4 to 7.
The quality of the service may also be assessed using user-generated comment.
Every year, the designated bodies shall report to the relevant national authorities on the declarations submitted, as well as on the results of their random inspections.
