In order to have the negotiating mandate, the committee's draft position was put to the vote in the European Parliament's plenary session on 27 February 2024. The European Parliament adopted on 27 February 2024 its negotiating position on the revision of the Driving Licence Directive: see the text adopted by the Parliament and the summary.
