Proposal for a regulation

(4) Directive 2003/102/EC has been shown to be not feasible 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, new technologies have been developed in the case of passive measures which could help meet the Phase II requirements. Such technologies must be taken into account.
Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
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. In particular, the active safety system ‘Brake Assist’ has been identified which, in combination with changes to passive safety requirements, will significantly increase the level of protection provided. It is therefore appropriate to provide for the obligatory installation of Brake Assist systems in new motor vehicles. Active safety systems should not be fitted in new vehicles to the detriment of passive systems; the two should be complementary.
