Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the steering equipment of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (Codified version)
COM(2006) 670 final — 2006/0225 (COD)
(2007/C 161/10)
On 29 November 2006, the Council decided to consult the European Economic and Social Committee, under Article 95 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal.
The Section for the Single Market, Production and Consumption, which was responsible for preparing the Committee's work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 7 February 2007. The rapporteur was Mr Burns.
At its 434th plenary session, held on 14 and 15 March 2007 (meeting of 14 March 2007), the European Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 157 votes with six abstentions.
|
1. |
The purpose of the proposal is to undertake the codification of Council Directive 75/321/EEC of 20 May 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the steering equipment of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors. |
|
2. |
The Committee considers the codification of all texts in a single directive to be very useful. It has been assured that this codification contains no substantial change and its sole purpose is to render Community legislation clear and transparent. The Committee fully endorses this objective and, having received the above-mentioned assurance, welcomes the proposal. |
Brussels, 14 March 2007.
The President
of the European Economic and Social Committee
