ANNEX IISupplementary provisions
ANNEX II Degrees of seriousness of serious infringements (1) The degrees of seriousness of infringements shall be serious (‘SI’), very serious (‘VSI’) and most serious (‘MSI’). (2) Serious and very serious infringements, when committed repeatedly by the same operator, shall be regarded as more serious by the competent authority in the Party of establishment. When calculating the frequency of occurrence of repeated infringements, the competent authorities in the Party shall take into account the following factors: — The seriousness of the infringements (SI or VSI); — Time (at least one rolling year from the date of a control); — Number of vehicles used for the transport activities managed by the transport manager (average per year). (3) Taking into account the potential of creating a risk to road safety, the maximum frequency of serious infringements beyond which they should be considered as more serious shall be established as follows: — 3 SI per vehicle and per year = 1 VSI; — 3 VSI per vehicle and per year = launch of a national procedure on good repute. (4) The number of infringements per vehicle per year is an average figure calculated by dividing the total number of all infringements of the same level of seriousness (SI or VSI) by the average number of vehicles used during the year. The frequency formula provides for a maximum threshold for occurrence of serious infringements beyond which they shall be considered more serious. Competent authorities in the Parties may establish stricter thresholds if envisaged in their national administrative procedure for assessing good repute.
