Wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors: maximum design speed (repeal. Directive 74/152/EEC). Codification

PURPOSE: to codify Directive 74/152/EEC on the maximum design speed of and load platforms for wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors.

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Directive 2009/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the maximum design speed of and load platforms for wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (codified version).

CONTENT: Council Directive 74/152/EEC of 4 March 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the maximum design speed of and load platforms for wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors has been substantially amended several times. Thus, in the interests of clarity and rationality the Directive should be codified.

The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it. It fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together, with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

ENTRY INTO FORCE: 19/08/2009.

APPLICATION: 01/01/2010.
