Recital 9
(9) European Modular Systems (EMS) have been used and trialled at length and have proven to be an interesting solution to improve the economic and energy efficiency of transport operations, while ensuring road safety and protection of infrastructure, thanks to their confinement to adequate parts of the road networks. Given national specificities, different economic interests, transportation needs and diverse transport infrastructure capacities in Member States, they are best placed to assess and authorise the circulation of EMS on their territories. At the same time, to enlarge the positive socio-economic and environmental impacts of the use of EMS and high-capacity vehicle combinations, it is crucial to remove unnecessary barriers to their use in cross- border operations between neighbouring Member States that allow such vehicle combinations as well as vehicle combinations deviating from Annex I on their territories, without limitation in the number of borders crossed as long as they comply with the maximum authorised weights and dimensions for EMS or high-capacity vehicle combinations established by Member States within their respective territories. This is to ensure that EMS or high- capacity vehicle combinations used in cross-border operations comply with the common lowest weight and dimension limit for EMS applicable in those Member States. In the interests of safety of operations, transparency and legal clarity, common conditions should be established for the circulation of EMS in national and international traffic, including providing clear information on the weights and dimensions limits for EMS and on parts of the road network compatible with specifications of such vehicles, and monitoring the impacts of the use of EMS on road safety, on the road infrastructure, on modal cooperation, as well as the environmental impacts of European Modular Systems on the transport system, including the impacts on modal share.
