Member States shall designate an impartial and independent national body competent to assess whether the requirements set out in Articles 3 to 8 are fulfilled by public and private road operators and service providers and broadcasters dedicated to traffic information. Two or more Member States may designate a common body competent to assess compliance with these requirements on their territories.
Member States shall notify the national bodies to the Commission.
Public and private road operators, service providers and broadcasters dedicated to traffic information shall provide the designated national bodies with their identification details and a description of the information service they provide, and submit a declaration of compliance with the requirements set out in Articles 3 to 8.
The declaration shall contain the following elements, where applicable:
the road safety-related categories covered and the road network coverage of the information service;
information on their access point to road safety-related traffic data and its conditions of use;
the format of the road safety-related traffic data accessible through their access point;
the means of dissemination of the information service to end users.
Public and private road operators, service providers and broadcasters dedicated to traffic information shall immediately update their declarations of compliance following any change in the provision of their service.
The designated national bodies shall randomly inspect the correctness of the declarations of a number of public and private road operators, service providers and broadcasters dedicated to traffic information, and shall request proof of compliance with the requirements set out in Articles 3 to 8.
Every year, the designated national bodies shall report to the national authorities on the declarations submitted and on the results of their random inspections.
