DIRECTIVE (EU) 2022/1999 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 19 October 2022
on uniform procedures for checks on the transport of dangerous goods by road (codification)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 91 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Directive 95/50/EC (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality, that Directive should be codified. |
(2) |
Checks on the transport of dangerous goods by road are to be carried out in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1100/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3912/92 (6). |
(3) |
The procedures of Member States for checking, and their definitions relating to, the transport of dangerous goods by road should be such as to ensure that compliance with the safety standards laid down in Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) can be verified effectively. |

(9) |
In the event of serious or repeated infringements, the competent authorities of the Member State in which the vehicle is registered or in which the undertaking is established may be asked to take appropriate measures and they should inform the requesting Member State of any follow-up measures taken. |
(10) |
The application of this Directive should be monitored on the basis of a report to be submitted by the Commission. |
(11) |
In order to adapt this Directive to scientific and technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending Annexes I, II and III to this Directive, in particular to take account of amendments to Directive 2008/68/EC.
