Having regard to Council Directive 96/49/EC of 23 July 1996 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by rail(1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 2000/62/EC(2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Annex to Directive 96/49/EC contains the Regulations concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by rail, usually known as "the RID", as applicable from 1 July 1999.

(2) The RID is updated every two years and therefore an amended version will be in force as from 1 July 2001 with a transitory period until 31 December 2002, except of dangerous goods of class 7 (radioactive material), for which the transitory period will end on 31 December 2001.

(3) It is therefore necessary to amend the Annex to Directive 96/49/EC.

NB:

The consolidated text of the 2001 version of the RID will be published as soon as the text is available in all the official languages of the Community."

Article 2

1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive concerning dangerous goods of class 7 by 31 December 2001 and concerning dangerous goods of other classes by 31 December 2002 at the latest.
