According to Article 17(4) of the ITS Directive, the Commission must submit a report every three years to the European Parliament and to the Council on the progress made in the implementation of the Directive. It is to be accompanied by an analysis of the functioning and implementation of Articles 5 to 11 and Article 16, including the financial resources used and needed. The report must also assess the need to amend the Directive, where appropriate. In addition, Article 12(1) of this Directive requires the Commission to ‘make a report in respect of the delegated powers no later than six months before the end of a five year period following 27 August 2010.’ This Report fulfils both above-mentioned obligations. It is also accompanied by a Commission Staff Working Document on the progress report and review of the ITS Action Plan and by a Commission Staff Working Document on the analysis of the Member States reports of 2011 (on national activities and projects regarding the priority areas) and 2012 (on national ITS actions envisaged over the following fiveyear period) submitted pursuant to Article 17 (1) and 17(2) of the ITS Directive.
