CONFÉRENCE EUROPÉENNE DES MINISTRES DES TRANSPORTS
EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT
RESOLUTION No. 97/4 ON RECIPROCAL RECOGNITION OF PARKING BADGES FOR
PERSONS WITH MOBILITY HANDICAPS
[CEMT/CM(97)10/FINAL]
Ministers of Transport of the ECMT, meeting in Berlin on 21-22 April 1997
CONSIDERING:
• That for many people with reduced mobility, use of a car is fundamental to a full and
independent lifestyle.
• That provided there is no risk to road safety, people with reduced mobility should be
enabled to park their cars as close as possible to their destinations.
• That to facilitate the free movement of people with reduced mobility between countries
there should be mutual recognition of parking badges of all ECMT member and
associate countries.
RECOMMEND MEMBER COUNTRIES:
• To enable people with reduced mobility who have difficulty in moving about to park
their vehicles where parking is otherwise restricted.
• Where necessary to provide reserved parking spaces for people with reduced mobility
by means of appropriate road signs. These spaces should be designed in accordance
with recognised design criteria.
• To provide people with reduced mobility, eligible for these facilities, with a document
to be displayed when the vehicle is parked showing as a minimum the international
symbol for disabled people and the name of the holder of the document.
• To give the same parking facilities to holders of this document coming from another
member or associated member country as they do to their own nationals.
• To take the necessary steps to ensure that this reciprocal treatment regarding parking
facilities for people with reduced mobility remains applicable in those countries who are
1
already participating in it and is introduced in all other countries by 1 January 1999.
• To take the necessary steps to ensure that police and other parking enforcement
authorities are fully informed about the nature of this arrangement.
1. The Czech Republic has a reservation on the date on entry into force of this Resolution.
REQUEST:
• Associate Member Countries to subscribe to this Resolution and to give reciprocal
treatment regarding parking facilities to ECMT Member Country nationals.
• The ECMT to work with the European Union to draw up guidance on the practical
application of this measure.
• The Committee of Deputies to report back in due course on the implementation of this
Resolution.

Puudega inimest teenindava sõiduki
parkimiskaart
Austatud Andres Harjo
Pöördusite Majandus- ja Kommunikatsiooniministeeriumi poole ja palusite ministeeriumi
seisukohta USA-s välja antud puudega inimest teenindava sõiduki parkimiskaardi kehtivuse kohta.
Teie pöördumises viidatud akt on Euroopa transpordiministrite konverentsil vastu võetud otsus nr
97/4 (lisa). Otsuses antakse osalisriikidele soovitusi puudega inimeste parkimise hõlbustamiseks
ja teiste riikide parkimiskaartide tunnustamiseks. Ehkki Eesti õigusesse ei ole kõiki otsuses toodud
soovitusi otsesõnu üle võetud, saab neist siiski juhinduda.
Kui ei ole kahtlusi otsusega 97/4 ühinenud riigis (sealhulgas USA-s) pädeva asutuse poolt välja
antud puudega inimest teenindava sõiduki parkimiskaardi õigsuses, saab praktikas juhinduda
transpordiministrite kokku lepitust ja tunnustada pädeva asutuse välja antud parkimiskaarti,
millele on kantud vähemalt rahvusvaheline puudega inimese sümbol ja dokumendi omaniku nimi.
Lugupidamisega
