The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection adopted the report by Nicola DANTI (S&D, IT) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending and correcting Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 on the approval and market surveillance of agricultural and forestry vehicles.
The committee recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the Commission’s proposal as follows.
An accurate definition of the different features of agricultural tractors based on the analysis of their technical characteristics is of utmost importance for the correct and complete implementation of this Regulation and of the delegated and implementing acts adopted under it.
Scope: with a view to correcting certain terms, the amended text proposed that this Regulation shall not apply to interchangeable equipment that is fully raised from the ground or that cannot articulate around a vertical axis when the vehicle to which it is attached is in use on a road.
