Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/78

of 15 July 2016

establishing administrative provisions for the EC type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to their 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems and uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2015/758 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the privacy and data protection of users of such systems

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall in-vehicle system based on the 112 service and amending Directive 2007/46/ECf1, and in particular Article 6(13) and Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2015/758 lays down a general obligation for new types of vehicles of categories M1 and N1 to be equipped with 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems as of 31 March 2018.

(2)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/79f2 lays down the specific technical requirements and test procedures for the EC type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems, as well as for EC type-approval of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle Separate Technical Units (‘STUs’) and 112-based eCall in-vehicle system components.

(3)

Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Councilf3 establishes the general framework for EC type-approval of motor vehicles and defines the roles and responsibilities of all the actors involved at different stages of the approval process. In addition, it is necessary to set out the specific administrative provisions for the EC type-approval of motor vehicles fitted with 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems, 112-based in-vehicle STUs and components.

(4)

To ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of the test procedures for EC type-approval and to simplify the application for that approval, a standardised set of information documents, templates for EC type-approval certificates and models for the EC type-approval mark should be established.

(5)

Manufacturers should ensure that the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems are not traceable and not subject to any constant tracking. For that purpose, it should be ensured that the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems are not available for communication in their normal operational status and that the data in their internal memory is not available outside the systems to any entities before the eCall is triggered. Manufacturers should also implement adequate safeguards to protect the security of the data in the internal memory of the system from unauthorized access or misuse.

(6)

Any data processed through the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system must be adequate, relevant and proportionate to the purposes for which those data are collected and processed.

(7)

Consumers should be provided with comprehensive and reliable information regarding the functioning of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system and in particular on the way data is processed through that system and how that data is protected. Consumers should be also informed about the characteristics and features of any private emergency service or other added value services, if fitted in the motor vehicle.

(8)

A consistent approach on the information to be provided to the consumers on the functioning of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system requires that a user information template is established which contains the minimum information to be provided together with the vehicle's technical documentation.

(9)

Vehicle manufacturers should be given sufficient time to adapt to the technical requirements for the approval of 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems. The Member States should also be given sufficient time to deploy on their territory the Public Safety Answering Point (‘PSAP’) infrastructure required for the proper receipt and handling of eCalls. For that reason, the date of application of this Regulation should be the same as the date of compulsory application of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015/758.

(10)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are consulted with the European Data Protection Supervisor in accordance with Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Councilf4.

(11)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,
