Net site for vehicle transactions

ABU DHABI — GCC states are taking measures to set up a single site on the Internet to speedily carry out vehicle-related transactions of traffic authorities without referring to the agencies of the member states in which the vehicles are registered.

"A team of experts working at the IT departments in GCC states is working on the project," said a UAE Interior Ministry official. The team is planning to have the site operational as soon as possible, he added.

Interior ministers in the six-nation bloc had already sanctioned the project and issued instructions to traffic departments to expedite implementation of the move to facilitate the exchange of information and processing of transactions.

"Access to the site will be restricted to traffic police officials authorised to handle such transactions. Traffic department directors in the GCC states will soon agree on the information that needs to be exchanged among member states," said the official.

"The site will contribute to providing many traffic services among GCC states and will help us to get rid of routine procedures that have hindered the exchange of vehicle-related data and driving licences," the official stressed.
