PURPOSE: to codify Directive 79/532/EEC on the component type-approval of lighting and light-signalling devices on wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors.
LEGISLATIVE ACT: Directive 2009/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the component type-approval of lighting and light-signalling devices on wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (Codified version).
CONTENT: this Directive aims to codify Council Directive 79/532/EEC of 17 May 1979 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the component type-approval of lighting and light-signalling devices on wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors. 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: 25/08/2009.
APPLICATIONS: from 01/01/2010.
