(7) Technical progress in the area of advanced vehicle safety systems offers new possibilities for casualty reduction. In order to maximise the number of casualties saved it is necessary to foresee the progressive voluntary introduction of some of these technologies. according to the vehicle range and the market.

(8) In order to simplify the type-approval legislation in line with the recommendations of the Report CARS 21: A Competitive Automotive Regulatory System for the 21st century, it is appropriate to repeal several Directives without reducing the level of protection of road users. The requirements set out in those Directives should be carried over to this Regulation and should be replaced, where appropriate, with references to the corresponding regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), as incorporated into Community law in accordance with Article 4 of Council Decision 97/836/EC of 27 November 1997 with a view to accession by the European Community to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) It is appropriate to implement the measures announced in the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament “Results of the review of the Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles” aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from tyres. This reduction should be achieved through a combination of low rolling resistance tyres and the use of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems. At the same time, it is also appropriate to set out requirements aimed at reducing tyre-road noise and ensuring that tyre safety levels are maintained through the introduction of wet grip requirements. The related implementation timetable should reflect the degree of challenge in meeting all of those requirements. In particular, due to the challenge in meeting the requirements on rolling noise and taking into account the time needed by industry for replacing existing lines of tyres, it is appropriate to provide for a longer period for implementation of rolling noise requirements with regard to new tyres of existing types while also recognising the need for a specific time-frame to adapt the production and supply chain to the requirements of this Regulation. It is not the purpose of this Regulation to restrict the placing on the market of tyres from stocks produced before the dates of entry into effect of the respective new technical requirements and which can be sold after those dates. The date of manufacture of tyres can easily be recognised by the existing mandatory marking of the ‘date of manufacture’ on the tyre as stipulated in Directive 92/23.
