What is the purpose of creating the KREPTD?
The immediate reason for the establishment of the National Electronic Register of Road Transport Entrepreneurs was the provisions of the Law of 4.11.2016 r. On amending the Law on Road Transport. The amendment came about because of Art. 16 of Regulation (EC) No. 1071/2009 of October 21, 2009. establishing common rules concerning the conditions for exercising the occupation of road transport operator and repealing Council Directive 96/26/EC. The EU regulation provided for the establishment of a register of this kind in each member state.
The KREPTD was established to enable supervision of companies that provide transportation services in more than one country of the European Union. A continuation of the national registers of entrepreneurs is the European Register of Road Transport Undertakings (ERRU), a database that brings together information from all these registers in one place.
In this way, all authorized authorities and services have access to information on road transport entrepreneurs throughout the European Union. Both the national databases and the European one are updated on a regular basis, and can be accessed from online applications.
It doesn’t stop there – the National Electronic Register of Road Transport Entrepreneurs is helpful in the process of issuance, amendment and revocation:
- permits to practice the occupation of road transport operator,
- International licenses for the carriage of passengers and goods,
- self-carriage certificates.
KREPTD – three records
The data collected in the National Register consists of as many as three registries:
- Records of entrepreneurs who are authorized to practice the occupation of road transport operator.
- Records of serious violations referred to in the EU regulation (which can lead to loss of good reputation).
- Records of persons who have been declared unfit to manage the transport operations of an entrepreneur until good standing is restored.
Yes, as we mentioned earlier – almost all data collected in KREPTD is publicly available. What can’t be checked without proper authorization is sensitive data, such as the home addresses or date of birth of transport managers. In the next part of the article we will introduce the types of information collected in the National Register.
What data does the National Electronic Register of Road Transport Entrepreneurs contain?
Visiting the KREPTD website, we will come across an entry viewer into which we can enter one or more carrier details and thus display publicly available data – a useful tool that can be used both to check the competition and to make a preliminary assessment of a carrier’s reliability. To view data on a shipping company, you only need to fill in one box in the search engine – for example, TIN.
