    WRITTEN QUESTION E-0325/01

    by Michl Ebner (PPE-DE) to the Commission

    (13 February 2001)

    Subject: Lorry rear-view mirrors

    Many road accidents, some of them fatal, are caused by the fact that lorry drivers cannot see enough in the rear view mirrors fitted to their vehicles and large areas are invisible to them. This risk could be removed by better provision of mirrors on lorries, which would save countless lives.

    Is the Commission planning any amendment to this effect to the provisions which require lorry manufacturers to fit appropriate mirrors to vehicles at the production stage?

    Answer given by Mr Liikanen on behalf of the Commission

    (14 March 2001)

    The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written E-3672/00 by Mr Staes(1).

    (1) OJ C 151 E, 22.5.2001, p. 199.
