(4) Directive 2003/102/EC has been shown to be not feasibleis technically challenging in the requirements for the second phase of implementation. In this respect Article 5 of that Directive requested the Commission to make necessary proposals which would overcome problems of feasibility with these requirements and possibly make use of active safety systems, whilst ensuring there was no degradation in the safety levels provided to the vulnerable road user. However, there are technologies currently available which can help meet the Phase II requirements foreseen by Directive 2003/102/EC.

Recital 5
(5) A study commissioned by the Commission shows that the requirements for pedestrian protection can be significantly improved by use of a combination of passive and active measures which afford a higher level of protection than the previously existing provisions.

It is therefore appropriate to pProvideing for the obligatory installation of Brake Assist systems in new motor vehicles is therefore appropriate. This should however not replace high-level passive safety systems, but rather complement them.
