Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (EC Type Approval) Regulations 1998 (“the 1998 Regulations”).
Council Directive 70/220/EEC relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles (1) (a “separate Directive” specified in Schedule 1 to the 1998 Regulations) as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/80/EC has been amended by Commission Directive 2003/76/EC. Directive 2003/76/EC complements the technical measures introduced by Directive 2002/80/EC so as to —
(i)prevent certain on board diagnostic systems from creating a trade barrier, and
(ii)allow replacement catalytic converters to be type approved as a separate technical unit.
Council Directive 97/27/EC relating to the masses and dimensions of certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailers and amending Directive 70/156/EEC (2) (a “separate Directive” specified in Schedule 1 to the 1998 Regulations) has been amended by Commission Directive 2003/19/EC. Directive 2003/19/EC allows EC type approval of vehicles which reach the new authorised dimensions, and in particular the increased maximum length of buses and coaches.
Regulation 2(2) inserts a reference to Directive 2003/76/EC and regulation 2(3) inserts a reference to Directive 2003/19/EC, at the appropriate places in the table in Schedule 1 to the 1998 Regulations, thereby implementing those Directives for the purposes of EC type approval procedures.
In line with the 1998 Regulations, the use of the symbol* denotes that the Directive specified is a Commission Directive.
This Explanatory Note incorporates the Transposition Note that would otherwise have been provided separately.
Copies of the EC Directives referred to in these Regulations can be obtained from the Stationery Office.
