Recital 16

(16)In order to allow citizens and residents to enjoy directly the benefits of the internal market without incurring an unnecessary additional administrative burden, Regulation (EU) 2018/1724 of the European Parliament and the Council ⁷ provides for access to online procedures relevant for the functioning of the internal market, including for cross-border users. The information on acquiring and renewing a driving licence is already covered in Annex I to that Regulation. Annex II to that Regulation should be amended, in order to ensure that users pursuing an administrative procedure related to driving licences benefit from fully online procedures.
