  • COM(1998)0285 summary

    OBJECTIVE: harmonisation of specifications for speedometers on two- and three-wheel motor vehicles. SUBSTANCE: the proposal for a Directive concerning harmonisation of specifications for speedometers on two- and three-wheel motor vehicles should be seen in the context of the type- approval procedure for such vehicles laid down by Framework Directive 92/61/EEC. The requirements contained in the proposal relate to the design of speedometers to be fitted in two- or three-wheel motor vehicles, specifications which must - along with those for other parts and characteristics provided for in Annex I to the Framework Directive - be complied with for vehicles to be type-approved and put on the Community market. By this proposal the Commission responds to a request from the Benelux countries for the obligatory fitting of speedometers on all two- or three-wheel motor vehicles (except those with a maximum design speed of 25 km/h or less) in the interests of road safety and environmental protection. �
