Commission Directive 2007/35/EC
of 18 June 2007
amending, for the purposes of its adaptation to technical progress, Council Directive 76/756/EEC concerning the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers(1), and in particular the second indent of Article 13(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/756/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 76/756/EEC is one of the separate Directives in the context of the EC type-approval procedure established by Directive 70/156/EEC. The provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC relating to systems, components and separate technical units for vehicles therefore apply to Directive 76/756/EEC.
(2) In order to increase road safety by improving the conspicuity of large trucks and their trailers the obligation for fitting retro reflective marking on these vehicles should be introduced into Directive 76/756/EEC.
(3) In order to take into account further amendments to UN/ECE Regulation No 48(3) on which the Community has already voted upon, it is appropriate to adapt Directive 76/756/EEC to technical progress by aligning it to the technical requirements of this UN/ECE Regulation. In the interest of clarity Annex II to Directive 76/756/EEC should be replaced.
(4) Directive 76/756/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress,
