Details

OBJECTIVE: the removal at Community level of obstacles to traffic between Member States which result from differences between standards with regard to the weights and dimensions of commercial road vehicles. COMMUNITY MEASURE : Council Directive 96/53/EC laying down for certain road vehicles circulating within the Community the maximum authorized dimensions in national and international traffic and the maximum authorized weights in international traffic. SUBSTANCE : more specifically, the Directive: - consolidates Directive 85/3/EEC on the weights, dimensions and certain other technical characteristics of certain road vehicles, amended on many occasions, and Directive 86/364/EEC relating to proof of compliance of vehicles with Directive 85/3/EEC; - increases the maximum authorized length of a road train from 18.35 to 18.75 m, thus increasing from 16 to 16.4 m the maximum distance; - increases the maximum authorized width of vehicles other than conditioned vehicles from 2.5 to 2.55 m; - extends to domestic freight transport the rules governing the dimensions laid down for international transport, excluding the maximum authorized height (4 m) which thus remains solely applicable to international transport; - authorizes Member States to prohibit the use in their territory, during a transitional period expiring on 31 December 1999, of buses exceeding a maximum width of 2.50 m; - enlarges the current definition of 'thick-walled refrigerated vehicle', such a vehicle now being defined as a 'conditioned vehicle'. To take account of situations peculiar to certain regions or industrial sectors, Member States may allow vehicles used for goods transport to circulate in their territory with dimensions deviating from those laid down by the Directive where such transport operations do not significantly affect international competition. The Directive exhaustively defines such transport operations. DATE OF ENTRY INTO FORCE: 17 September 1996 DEADLINE FOR TRANSPOSITION INTO NATIONAL LEGISLATION: 17 September 1997.

Details

The rapporteur, Mr WIJSENBEEK (ELDR, NL), welcomed the fact that the Council had adopted two of Parliament’s suggestions for an increase in the loading width and length of international road haulage vehicles. However, he was critical of the fact that 45-foot containers were no longer to be allowed on the roads. Moreover, he called on the Council and the Commission to follow up their proposal regarding maximum laden weight, in line with Parliament’s proposals on this matter, and on the question of turning radius and pneumatic suspension. Finally, he emphasised that the introduction of the measures in question would improve road transport conditions in the EU and provide greater legal security for the companies concerned. Commissioner Fischler thought the proposal acceptable, especially in view of the fact that very few amendments had been proposed. However, the Commission could not accept Amendment No 2, as this would mean that vehicles exceeding the maximum weight would again be allowed to take to the roads after 2006. Mr Fischler was of the view that there was no need to extend the adaptation period, which was already long enough. Nor could Amendment No 3 be accepted, because maximum vehicle length was laid down by international convention.

  • date: 1996-03-14T00:00:00 type: Debate in Parliament body: EP summary: The rapporteur, Mr WIJSENBEEK (ELDR, NL), welcomed the fact that the Council had adopted two of Parliament’s suggestions for an increase in the loading width and length of international road haulage vehicles. However, he was critical of the fact that 45-foot containers were no longer to be allowed on the roads. Moreover, he called on the Council and the Commission to follow up their proposal regarding maximum laden weight, in line with Parliament’s proposals on this matter, and on the question of turning radius and pneumatic suspension. Finally, he emphasised that the introduction of the measures in question would improve road transport conditions in the EU and provide greater legal security for the companies concerned. Commissioner Fischler thought the proposal acceptable, especially in view of the fact that very few amendments had been proposed. However, the Commission could not accept Amendment No 2, as this would mean that vehicles exceeding the maximum weight would again be allowed to take to the roads after 2006. Mr Fischler was of the view that there was no need to extend the adaptation period, which was already long enough. Nor could Amendment No 3 be accepted, because maximum vehicle length was laid down by international convention.

  • date: 1996-09-17T00:00:00 type: Final act published in Official Journal summary: OBJECTIVE: the removal at Community level of obstacles to traffic between Member States which result from differences between standards with regard to the weights and dimensions of commercial road vehicles. COMMUNITY MEASURE : Council Directive 96/53/EC laying down for certain road vehicles circulating within the Community the maximum authorized dimensions in national and international traffic and the maximum authorized weights in international traffic. SUBSTANCE : more specifically, the Directive: - consolidates Directive 85/3/EEC on the weights, dimensions and certain other technical characteristics of certain road vehicles, amended on many occasions, and Directive 86/364/EEC relating to proof of compliance of vehicles with Directive 85/3/EEC; - increases the maximum authorized length of a road train from 18.35 to 18.75 m, thus increasing from 16 to 16.4 m the maximum distance; - increases the maximum authorized width of vehicles other than conditioned vehicles from 2.5 to 2.55 m; - extends to domestic freight transport the rules governing the dimensions laid down for international transport, excluding the maximum authorized height (4 m) which thus remains solely applicable to international transport; - authorizes Member States to prohibit the use in their territory, during a transitional period expiring on 31 December 1999, of buses exceeding a maximum width of 2.50 m; - enlarges the current definition of 'thick-walled refrigerated vehicle', such a vehicle now being defined as a 'conditioned vehicle'. To take account of situations peculiar to certain regions or industrial sectors, Member States may allow vehicles used for goods transport to circulate in their territory with dimensions deviating from those laid down by the Directive where such transport operations do not significantly affect international competition. The Directive exhaustively defines such transport operations. DATE OF ENTRY INTO FORCE: 17 September 1996 DEADLINE FOR TRANSPOSITION INTO NATIONAL LEGISLATION: 17 September 1997. docs: title: Directive 1996/53 url: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=EN&numdoc=31996L0053 title: OJ L 235 17.09.1996, p. 0059-0075 url: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOHtml.do?uri=OJ:L:1996:235:SOM:EN:HTML
