On 29 and 30 September 2022 EUCARIS members came together in Tallinn for the EUCARIS General Assembly. More than 70 colleagues of 31 countries met each other in real life after two years of digital meetings. The two-days conference looked back to the EUCARIS operation in 2021/2022 and looked ahead to 2023 and beyond. Discharge was given by the General Assembly for the activities of EUCARIS Operations in 2021 and also an unanimous agreement was given on the EUCARIS budget for 2023. The Netherlands/RDW was unanimous re-appointed as the “EUCARIS Nominated Party for the Secretariat” for the next three years.
During the Tour de Table all Member States gave an update about their high- and lowlights of the last period and about their plans for 2022/2023. On both days there were several presentations from external speakers of the European Commission, CITA, PCC SEE and Council of Bureaux.
An important subject was the cooperation between EUCARIS and EReg. The General Assembly approved the proposal on changing the Rules of Procedure, which opens the way for formally combining both secretariats.
A main focus for 2023 is to work further on the plans and ideas for the cooperation of EUCARIS and EReg. One of the next steps is combining the EUCARIS General Assembly and the EReg General Meeting, which means that the next General Assembly will not take place in October 2023 but it will be a combined meeting in May 2023 in Stockholm.
