ANNEX IIFrequency of occurrence of serious infringements1.The serious (SI) and very serious (VSI) infringements listed in Annex I, when committed repeatedly shall be regarded as more serious by the competent authority of a Member State of establishment. When calculating the frequency of occurrence of repeated infringements Member States shall take into account the following factors:(a)seriousness of infringement (SI or VSI);(b)time (at least one rolling year from the date of a control);(c)number of vehicles used for the transport activities managed by the transport manager (average per year)2.Taking into account the potential of creating a risk to road safety the maximum frequency of serious infringements beyond which they should be considered as more serious shall be established as follows:3 SI/per vehicle/per year = 1 VSI3 VSI/per vehicle/per year = launch of a national procedure on good repute3.The number of infringements per vehicle per year is an average figure calculated by dividing the total number of all infringements of the same level of seriousness (SI or VSI) by the average number of vehicles used during the year. The frequency formula provides for a maximum threshold for occurrence of serious infringements beyond which they shall be considered more serious. Member States may establish stricter thresholds if envisaged in their national administrative procedure for assessing good reputeANNEX IIIAnnex III to Directive 2006/22/EC is replaced by the following:"ANNEX III1.Groups of infringements against Regulation (EC) no 561/2006
