BAKGRUNN (fra Kommisjonens pressemelding, engelsk utgave)
Proposal to cut double legislation on the automotive sector
The European Commission proposal to drastically simplify and reduce European legislation will incorporate directly into European law 61 different Regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) for the type-approval of vehicles. It will end the duality between EC Directives and UNECE Regulations. The proposal will now be transmitted to the Member States for approval.
Hence, type-approval issued under the UNECE Regulations will be considered as EC type-approval. Duplication not only in technical requirements but also in certification and administrative procedures will be avoided to the benefit of both industry and national authorities.
In addition, this proposal will also improve market access for European car manufacturers in those third countries which are contracting parties to the UNECE Agreement of 1958 and thus boost the competitiveness of European industry.
Under the EC whole vehicle type-approval system, cars manufacturers can obtain approval for a vehicle type in one Member State if it meets the EU technical requirements and then market it EU-wide with no need for further tests.
