Multimodal transport: intermodal loading units, transferred containers or swap bodies

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Ulrich STOCKMANN (PES, D) approving the proposal subject to some amendments. (Please see the summary of 21/01/04.) Parliament stipulated that the Directive should not affect the use, control and maintenance of intermodal loading units subject to the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC). A Member State may take measures to limit or prohibit the placing on the market and use of intermodal loading units when units which have the CE marking, the symbol referring to the reassessment of these units or the symbol relating to the periodic inspection do not conform. �
