REQUIREMENTS FOR INTEROPERABILITY CONSTITUENTS
ANNEX IISupplementary provisions
ANNEX II REQUIREMENTS FOR INTEROPERABILITY CONSTITUENTS 1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1.1. Reliability and availability 1.1.1. The monitoring and maintenance of fixed or movable components that are used in EETS must be organised, carried out and quantified in such a manner as to maintain their operation under the intended conditions. 1.1.2. EETS design should enable the system to continue working if the components malfunction or fail, possibly in a degraded mode, but with the least disruption for EETS users. 1.2. Technical compatibility Where they are interfacing, the technical characteristics of the equipment of EETS providers and toll chargers must be compatible and in line with the provisions laid down in Annex I of the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/204. 1.3. Security/privacy and protection of personal data 1.3.1. EETS must provide security features relative to the protection of data stored, handled and transferred between stakeholders in the EETS environment. The security features shall integrate the necessary safeguards into the processing in order to protect the rights and interests of EETS stakeholders, in particular protect them from risks or damage caused by lack of availability, confidentiality, integrity, authentication, non-repudiation and protection from unauthorised access to user data in a European multi-user environment, in compliance with the relevant legislation on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data. 1.3.2. EETS must comply with EU data protection legislation. In particular, compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the national laws, regulations or administrative provisions turning Directive 2002/58/EC into national law must be ensured. 2. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS 2.1. Infrastructure requirements 2.1.1. EETS infrastructure must allow for the accuracy of toll declaration data to correspond with the toll regime requirements to guarantee equal and fair treatment between EETS users in respect of tolls and charges. 2.1.2. The on-board equipment must enable toll chargers to identify the responsible EETS provider. The on-board equipment must regularly monitor this information, invalidate itself if an irregularity is detected and, where possible, inform the EETS provider of the anomaly. 2.1.3. Where applicable, EETS equipment must be designed so that its interoperability constituents use standards issued by European Standardisation Organisations. 2.1.4. On-board equipment must be integrated in a safe and secure way. Its fitment will be compliant with requirements for vehicles forward vision. ( 1 ) 2.1.5. Toll chargers must inform drivers, through signalisation or other means chosen by Member States,, of the requirement to pay a toll or charge for driving a vehicle in an EETS domain, and of the roads covered by an EETS domain. 2.2. Operation and management requirements 2.2.1. Toll chargers and EETS providers must determine contingency plans in order to avoid major traffic flow disruptions if the EETS is unavailable. 2.2.2. With respect to evaluating the performance of on-board equipment using satellite-positioning technology provided under Article 3.3 of Directive (EU) 2019/520, the EGNOS/Galileo eCall conformance test specifications ( 2 ) may be applied ( 1 ) Commission Directive 90/630/EEC of 30 October 1990 adapting to technical progress Council Directive 77/649/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the field of vision of motor vehicle drivers ( OJ L 341, 6.12.1990, p. 20 ).
