(2005/614/CE)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 97/836/EC of 27 November 1997 with a view to accession by the European Community to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (Revised 1958 Agreement) (1), and in particular Article 3(3) and 4(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
The standardised requirements of Regulation No 94 and Regulation No 95 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to the protection of the occupants in the event of frontal and lateral collisions are intended to remove technical barriers to the trade in motor vehicles between the contracting parties and ensure a high level of safety and protection for vehicle occupants. |
(2) |
Regulation No 94 and Regulation No 95 were not included in Annex II to Council Decision 97/836/EC as they did not comport with Community technical requirements and specifications at the time of Community accession to the Revised 1958 Agreement. |
(3) |
Having regard to the subsequent amendments to Regulation No 94 (3) and Regulation No 95 (4), those Regulations should now be incorporated into the Community system for the type approval of motor vehicles, |
