The Committee endorses the proposed amendment to the maximum design speed for agricultural or forestry tractors, but would call on the Commission to take account of the continuous developments in tractor performance and application in the next amendment to the framework Directive, and make an unequivocal provision for tractors with maximum design speeds of over 40 km/h. This must of course be accompanied by adequate arrangements for safety and environmental protection.
The Committee also calls for the regulations to be consolidated, in the interests of greater transparency.
