The Commission should establish a dedicated expert group on driving licences and related matters, in order to be able to call, whenever necessary, on a relevant range of expertise for the exercise of its empowerment to adopt delegated acts and also to facilitate and encourage exchange at Union level between stakeholders and experts of Member States on all matters related to driving licences, licensing procedures, improving road safety and removing administrative barriers which constrain citizens or enterprises. In particular, the expert group should facilitate the exchange of best practices on age and fitness requirements for driving licence applicants, on the benefits of graduated licensing systems and lifelong learning, on the effects of new technologies such as the mobile driving licence and automated or assisted driving, on the facilitation of removing barriers to free movement of holders of not mutually recognised driving licences, such as those for non-road mobile machinery, and on rules relating to the training and testing of new drivers.
