THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/439/EEC of 29 July 1991 on driving licences(1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 91/439/EEC provides that all driving licences issued by Member States, should be mutually recognised, including those issued before the date of application of the principle of mutual recognition.
(2) The principle of mutual recognition of driving licences entails full recognition of all entitlements which have been granted to a licence holder in accordance with national provisions in force at the time.
(3) Directive 91/439/EEC provides that the Member States should establish equivalences between the categories of driving licences issued before the implementation of that Directive and those based on the Community model. Those equivalences should have the agreement of the Commission in a legally binding form.
(4) The tables of equivalences between the categories of driving licences established by Commission Decision 2000/275/EC of 21 March 2000 on equivalences between certain categories of driving licences(2) should be updated, in particular taking into account the recent enlargements of the Community.
(5) Decision 2000/275/EC should therefore be repealed,
