Proposal for a directiveregulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency and other essential parameters (This amendment applies throughout the text. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.)
Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Tyres are characterised by a number of parameters which are interrelated. Improving one parameter such as rolling resistance may have an adverse impact on other parameters such as wet grip, while improving wet grip may have an adverse impact on external rolling noise. Tyre manufacturers should be encouraged to optimise all parameters. By the same token, particulate pollution may rise as a result of increased tyre wear linked to changed parameters. Tyre manufacturers should be encouraged to optimise all parameters.

(22) In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to introduce requirements with respect to wet grip grading of C2 and C3 tyre classes, to introduce requirements with respect to essential tyre parameters other than fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise and to adapt the Annexes to technical progress, also taking account of particulate pollution caused by tyre wear. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
