The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union approved in April 2004 the Directive on the widespread introduction and interoperability of electronic road toll systems within the European Community. The purpose of such Directive is to implement the regulatory frame and tools ensuring the deployment of a European ETC service.
The European Electronic Toll Service has been defined on Decision 2009/ 750/ CE passed on November 8th 2009, from then on, a 3 year and a 5 year deadline will start to offer the service to heavy vehicles and the rest respectively.
That Directive has been passed to the Spanish Law by Real Decreto 94/2006 February 3rd Regulation of interoperability of Electronic Tolling Collection systems implemented in state toll roads.
