5GAA welcomes Council objection against C-ITS Delegated Act

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) welcomes the Council of the European Union’s objection against the proposal for Delegated Regulation on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), as a clear signal of support to technology neutrality.

Brussels, Belgium – On 8th July 2019 the Council of the European Union adopted a decision to object against the proposal for Delegated Regulation on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS).

5GAA endorses the Council conclusions and will continue to advocate for an EU framework that abides by the principle of technology neutrality, inclusive of all available technical solutions, to improve road safety and traffic efficiency.

The current C-V2X generation, LTE-V2X, is fully standardised and ready for deployment in all world regions as emphasised by announcements from multiple OEMs in the USA and China.

5GAA and its members stand ready to engage in a positive dialogue with the European institutions and all stakeholders to define such a future-proof regulatory framework for cooperative, connected and automated mobility in Europe.
