Tackling cross-border vehicle crime (Netherlands initiative)

This procedure aims to enhance cooperation between EU member states to combat vehicle crime that crosses national borders. It seeks to improve the effectiveness of police, judicial, and customs authorities in tackling issues related to stolen vehicles and related criminal activities.

The initiative, led by the Netherlands, focuses on strengthening road safety and the roadworthiness of vehicles. It impacts drivers, vehicle owners, and law enforcement agencies by standardising approaches to vehicle crime prevention and prosecution.
