Road transport, national and international traffic: maximum dimensions and weights

2000/0060(COD)
The report drafted by Konstantinos HATZIDAKIS (EPP-ED, Greece) concerning the maximum authorised dimensions and weights in national and international trade, was adopted by the European Parliament subject to amendments relating to the following: - the length of purpose-built "articulated buses" to be brought into line with that permitted for a road train ("lorry + trailer"); - the maximum height of a "rigid bus + trailer". In conclusion, the European Parliament calls on the Commission to be consulted again should the latter intend to amend its proposal substantially or replace it with another text.�
