COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2006/27/EC
of 3 March 2006
amending for the purposes of adapting to technical progress Council Directives 93/14/EEC on the braking of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles and 93/34/EEC on statutory markings for two- or three-wheel motor vehicles, Directives of the European Parliament and of the Council 95/1/EC on the maximum design speed, maximum torque and maximum net engine power of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles and 97/24/EC on certain components and characteristics of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 relating to the type-approval of two- and three-wheel motor vehicles and repealing Council Directive 92/61/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/14/EEC of 5 April 1993 on the braking of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/34/EEC of 14 June 1993 on statutory markings for two- or three-wheel motor vehicles (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Directive 95/1/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 2 February 1995 on the maximum design speed, maximum torque and maximum net engine power of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles (4), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to Directive 97/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 1997 on certain components and characteristics of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles (5), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directives 93/14/EEC, 93/34/EEC, 95/1/EC and 97/24/EC are separate Directives for the purposes of the EC type-approval procedure laid down by Directive 2002/24/EC. |
(2) |
It is necessary to introduce the last amendment to United Nations ECE Regulation No 78 into the European type approval requirements in order to maintain equivalence between the requirements laid down in Directive 93/14/EEC and those laid down in United Nations ECE Regulation No 78. |
(3) |
The requirements on statutory markings and maximum speed for two- and three-wheel motor vehicles as laid down in Directives 93/34/EEC and 95/1/EC can be simplified for reasons of better regulation. |
(4) |
In order to ensure the proper functioning of the type-approval system as a whole, it is necessary to clarify which provisions concerning external projections, safety belt anchorages and safety belts shall apply to bodied vehicles and to unbodied vehicles. |
(5) |
In Directive 97/24/EC, the requirements for marking of original catalytic converters and original silencers need to be clarified and completed. |
(6) |
Directives 93/14/EEC, 93/34/EEC, 95/1/EC and 97/24/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(7) |
The measures provided for this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress, |
