The modified Commission proposal relating to the maximum design speed of wheeled agricultural
or forestry tractors includes the substance of two EP amendments to introduce two new recitals:
- one relating to improvements and harmonization of all safety aspects such as the installation of
safety belts;
- the other to the effect that pollution from tractors should be the subject of Community legislation.
On the other hand, the Commission rejected the amendments aimed at:
- the introduction of technical controls on tractors at regular intervals (the Commission would
however consider, in the framework of the appropriate procedures, what proposals should be
drafted);
- the addition of a new article dealing with both Community and national type-approval requirements
for tractors.
