Having regard to Council Directive 92/61/EEC of 30 June 1992 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles,
OJ No L 225, 10. 8. 1992, p. 72.
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
OJ No C 93, 13. 4. 1992, p. 24.

Whereas measures should be adopted which are intended gradually to establish the internal market within a period expiring on 31 December 1992; whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured;
Whereas, with regard to braking, in each Member State two or three-wheel vehicles must display certain technical characteristics laid down by mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another; whereas, as a result of their differences, such provisions constitute barriers to trade within the Community;
Whereas these barriers to the establishment and operation of the internal market may be removed if the same requirements are adopted by all the Member States in place of their national rules;
Whereas it is necessary to draw up harmonized requirements concerning the braking of two or three-wheel motor vehicles in order to enable the type-approval and component type-approval procedures laid down in Directive 92/61/EEC to be applied for each type of such vehicle;
Whereas in order to facilitate access to the markets of non-Community countries it is necessary to establish equivalence between the requirements of this Directive and those of United Nations ECE Regulation No 78,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
