COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/67/EC
of 18 October 2005
amending, for the purposes of their adaptation, Annexes I and II to Council Directive 86/298/EEC, Annexes I and II to Council Directive 87/402/EEC and Annexes I, II and III to Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, relating to the type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/298/EEC of 26 May 1986 on rear-mounted roll-over protection structures of narrow-tracked wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 87/402/EEC of 25 June 1987 on roll-over protection structures mounted in front of the driver's seat in wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units and repealing Council Directive 74/150/EEC (3), and in particular Article 19(1)(a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 2003/37/EC introduced the fitting of seat belt anchorages as a new requirement for the agricultural or forestry whole vehicle type-approval in accordance with Council Directive 76/115/EEC of 18 December 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to anchorages for motor vehicle safety belts (4). Since Directive 76/115/EEC concerns the type-approval of different categories of non-agricultural motor vehicles, it is necessary to specify which requirements of that Directive shall apply to certain agricultural or forestry tractors. |
(2) |
The requirements in Appendix 1 of Annex I to Directive 76/115/EEC for forward facing centre seats of vehicle category N3 are appropriate for tractors of a maximum design speed of 40 km/h or less. |
(3) |
On 29 March 2005, the Council of the OECD approved Decision C(2005) 1, which establishes new versions of the OECD codes for the testing of agricultural and forestry tractors. |
(4) |
It is appropriate to adapt the references to the OECD codes in Directives 2003/37/EC, 86/298/EEC and 87/402/EEC in order to take account of Decision C(2005) 1 of the OECD Council. |
(5) |
Directives 86/298/EEC, 87/402/EEC and 2003/37/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/37/EC, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
