The Commission accepts the approach adopted in the common position which seeks to ensure the freemovement of safety components and of sub-systems on the cableway market:
a) all sub-systems, with the exception of civil engineering, and their components are the subject of harmonisation;
b) for civil engineering, only safety components are subject to harmonisation. These components are subject to intra-Community exchanges; as for civil engineering, it is always constructed on a specific site.
The new approach also permits the Member States to maintain their authorisation, construction and putting into service procedures for the completed installation. This compromise has enabled the progress of this procedure which had been blocked since the end of 1996.�
