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.�
