This video explains all details of the new procedure to renew driving licences in Italy. It is provided as complementary information to understand how it works "behind the scene". R&D and Studiozeta will take care of all the paperwork. You only need to provide your passport photo and present at the medical check (previously booked at our secretariat).
LE SCADENZE – Il tempo di rinnovo varia a seconda dell’età del patentato e del tipo di patente di guida. In particolare, per quanto riguarda le patenti A, B e B-E, per i soggetti di età inferiore ai 50 anni la validità è di 10 anni; per quelli dai 50 ai 70 anni è di 5; per quelli dai 71 agli 80 anni è di 3 e per i soggetti ultra-ottantenni è di soli 2 anni. Per le patenti C e D, invece, fino ai 65 anni la validità è di cinque anni, oltre i 65 anni di 2 anni e dopo i 68 anni la patente D viene declassata a C.
LE SANZIONI – Basta “sforare” di un giorno la data di scadenza per andare incontro al ritiro della patente e a una sanzione economica che va dai 148 ai 594 Euro. Per chi viene sorpreso a circolare dopo 3 anni dalla scadenza, invece, scatta l’obbligo di sostenere nuovamente l’esame teorico e pratico.

R&Drive: Driving licence and car registration for foreigners
When you move to Italy and take your car with you, you
need to register it. In Italy, you must register your vehicle
within 1 year.
At the same time, if you have a non-expiring driving licence (a licence for life), you must convert it to the new European format within 19 January 2015.
EU driving licences with an expiration date are not
formally required to be converted; nevertheless, it would be advisable to
always convert your foreign driving licence to the new format in the country
where you live - in our case, Italy.
Thanks to our agreement with Studiozeta, we can now offer full support and special conditions to help R&D members
and their families to easily convert
foreign driving licences and register their car in Italy.
The paperwork can be done directly at our secretariat,
with our help! No problems with language or bureaucracy. We simplify your life and make it convenient for you to integrate with the
current European and Italian driving rules.
CONVERSION OF DRIVING LICENCES (A/B type)
Cost: 130€ (instead of 145€) for our members and their families (taxes and medical visit included).
Documentation needed: "old" driving licence,
identity card, codice fiscale, 3 passport photos.
The medical visit is compulsory. Appointments are
available on Mondays and Fridays every week.
CAR REGISTRATION
The cost depends on the number of KWatts (engine power).
For
cars up to 53Kw, the
estimated cost is 550€.
Individual
quotations will be provided on request.
Documentation needed: identity card, codice fiscale,
current vehicle registration, vehicle technical documentation

EU Driving Licences
The holder of a driving licence
issued by one of the EU member States has no obligation to exchange his/her
driving licence for an Italian one (even after 1 year from becoming an Italian
resident). In this case the foreign driving licence remains subject to Italian
law as concerns renewal periods and penalties.
Nevertheless it is recommended to
apply for the exchange of the EU driving licence to enable the Italian
authorities to deal with renewal or duplicate procedures.
When applying for the exchange, you
must surrender your foreign licence that will be replaced by the Italian one.
The application must be submitted
within the period of validity of the foreign licence.
Non-EU driving licences
Foreigners holding a non-EU driving
licence can drive in Italy for a maximum of 1 year from acquiring residence in
Italy, after which they must exchange their driving licence for an Italian one.
Foreign licences issued by non-EU
countries need to be accompanied by a translation with revenue stamp. The
translation must be certified by the diplomatic representative of the country
having issued the driving licence as being a true and faithful rendition of the
original document. The certified translation must be validated by the competent
"Prefettura" offices.

New Commission: Bad news for research and innovation?
Read the full article (Source: Science|Business)
Role and positioning of the Joint Research Centre within the Commission
Following the concerns many of you expressed about the new positioning
of the JRC under the responsibility of the Commissioner for Education, Culture,
Youth and Citizenship, we have written a letter to the new President-elect Mr
J. C. Juncker:
Dear Mr Juncker,
As a Trade Union of the Directorate General Joint Research Centre, we have been very surprised to learn that the JRC has been placed under the responsibility of the Commissioner for “Education, Culture, Youth and Citizenship”.
We note the JRC is also cited in the mandate of the Commissioner for “Research, Science & Innovation”.
However, the rationale behind the re-positioning of a Directorate General strictly related to "Research" – up to the point that the word “Research” is present in its name – out of the “Research, Science & Innovation” portfolio is far from being easily understandable and is causing concern to JRC staff.
Additionally, the apparent overlap between the role of the Chief Scientific Advisor and the role of the JRC is also a major source of confusion.
In fact, if it is true that the creation of a Chief Scientific Advisor position has contributed to bring science closer to the decision making process, it is also true that the in-house
Science service of the Commission is the JRC, as clearly defined in its mission statement:
"As the Commission's in-house science service, the Joint Research Centre's mission is to provide EU policies with independent, evidence-based scientific and technical support throughout the whole policy cycle. Working in close cooperation with policy Directorates-General, the JRC addresses key societal challenges while stimulating innovation through developing new methods, tools and standards, and sharing its know-how with the Member States, the scientific community and international partners."
The JRC has up until now successfully supported the Commission policy making process and its staff is very keen to further develop its engagement with our fellow DGs.
Despite this, the only indication that has so far been made available regarding our future is that the JRC "should progressively develop its role as a service supporting all Commission services with its knowledge and its expertise".
Therefore we wish to bring to your attention the following questions raised by JRC staff:
• What is the political rationale behind the choice of portfolio?
• Will the mission of the JRC change and, if so, how?
• Can you confirm that the JRC will continue to be a Directorate General of the Commission?
• What are the differences and the relationship between the role of the Chief Scientific Advisor and
that of the JRC?
For the reasons above, we believe further communication is owed to all JRC staff in order to clearly explain your strategy and to answer the questions that have been raised.
Waiting for your kind reply, please accept our best regards.
New Commission Structure - JRC moved to Education, Culture, Youth and Citizenship
The structure of the new Commission is now available.
The Joint Research Centre has been moved under the the responsibility of Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Citizenship.
You can find more details in the letter sent by President Juncker to our new Commissioner Tibor Navracsics
Abstract from the letter:
"You will be responsible for taking forward the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, in Budapest, as well as for the Commission’s Joint Research Centre, which should progressively develop its role as a service supporting all Commission services with its knowledge and its expertise.
In this context, you will work closely with the Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs and the Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation to ensure synergies between EU-funded programmes in support of new societal demands, and to share their results to a wide public."

Assessment of individual rights at Ispra
Our impression is that the
situation has severely worsened after the closure of the PMO sector dealing with
individual rights at the Ispra site.
We are convinced that the 3rd
largest site of the Commission has the critical mass to require the presence of
a local “assessment of individual rights” service available to its staff – as
is already the case, for instance, at Luxembourg.
For this reason R&D has written
to Mr Lemaître, Director of PMO, requesting the re-establishment of an
individual rights sector at Ispra.
At the same time,
we have invited our Director General, Mr Šucha, to support our initiative.
Internet access at the lodgings
We are happy to inform you that, also thanks to our insistence, this long standing request has finally been answered.
In fact, since a few weeks and as a temporary solution, devices providing UMTS Internet access have already been made available to newcomers upon their arrival in the lodgings.
In parallel, B7 and C4 Units are working intensively on a more permanent cable based solution, implementation of which is expected in the coming months.
R&D Ispra wishes to thank all those who have provided their active support to this project, especially our Director General, OIB, members of COPAS, and the B7/C4 Units and respective Directorates.
Our secretariat is always available to offer support to any new users who may need assistance with the activation of the device, or indeed with any other aspects related to their arrival in Ispra.
We would appreciate any comments and suggestions from those who have already benefitted from the UMTS service, so that we can report to our administration any eventual issues or ideas for improvement.
Meanwhile, we will continue to monitor the situation until the permanent service will be fully in place, and we will inform you accordingly.
