Wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors: maximum design speed

1996/0129(COD)
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. �
