Official Journal L 206 , 29/07/1991 P. 0019 - 0021 Finnish special edition: Chapter 5 Volume 5 P. 0063  Swedish special edition: Chapter 5 Volume 5 P. 0063

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 25 June 1991  supplementing the measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health at work of workers with a fixed-duration employment relationship or a temporary employment relationship   (91/383/EEC)THE  COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 118a thereof,   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),   In cooperation with the European Parliament(2),   Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),   Whereas Article 118a of the Treaty provides that the Council shall adopt, by means of Directives, minimum requirements for encouraging improvements, especially in the working environment, to guarantee a better level of protection of the safety and  health of workers;   Whereas, pursuant to the said Article, Directives must avoid imposing administrative, financial and legal constraints which would hold back the creation and development of small and medium-sized undertakings;   Whereas recourse to forms of employment such as fixed-duration employment and temporary employment has increased considerably;   Whereas research has shown that in general workers with a fixed-duration employment relationship or temporary employment relationship are, in certain sectors, more exposed to the risk of accidents at work and occupational diseases than other workers;   Whereas these additional risks in certain sectors are in part linked to certain particular modes of integrating new workers into the undertaking; whereas these risks can be reduced through adequate provision of information and training from the  beginning of employment;    Whereas the Directives on health and safety at work, notably Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(4), contain provisions intended to improve  the safety and health of workers in general;   Whereas the specific situation of workers with a fixed-duration employment relationship or a temporary employment relationship and the special nature of the risks they face in certain sectors calls for special additional rules, particularly as regards  the provision of information, the training and the medical surveillance of the workers concerned;   Whereas this Directive constitutes a practical step within the framework of the attainment of the social dimension of the internal market,   HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  SECTION I SCOPE AND OBJECT    Article 1  Scope   This Directive shall apply to:   1.employment relationships governed by a fixed-duration contract of employment concluded directly between the employer and the worker, where the end of the contract is established by objective conditions such as: reaching a specific date, completing a  specific task or the occurence of a specific event;   2.temporary employment relationships between a temporary employment business which is the employer and the worker, where the latter is assigned to work for and under the control of an undertaking and/or establishment making use of his services.   Article 2  Object   1.  The purpose of this Directive is to ensure that workers with an employment relationship as referred to in Article 1 are afforded, as regards safety and health at work, the same level of protection as that of other workers in the user undertaking  and/or establishment.   2.  The existence of an employment relationship as referred to in Article 1 shall not justify different treatment with respect to working conditions inasmuch as the protection of safety and health at work are involved, especially as regards access to  personal protective equipment.   3.  Directive 89/391/EEC and the individual Directives within the meaning of Article 16 (1) thereof shall apply in full to workers with an employment relationship as referred to in Article 1, without prejudice to more binding and/or more specific  provisions set out in this Directive.  SECTION II  GENERAL PROVISIONS    Article 3  Provision of information to workers   Without prejudice to Article 10 of Directive 89/391/EEC, Member States shall take the necessary steps to ensure that:  1.before a worker with an employment relationship as referred to in Article 1 takes up any activity, he is informed by the  undertaking and/or establishment making use of his services of the risks which he faces;   2.such information:   -covers, in particular, any special occupational qualifications or skills or special medical surveillance required, as defined in national legislation, and   -states clearly any increased specific risks, as defined in national legislation, that the job may entail.    Article 4  Workers' training   Without prejudice to Article 12 of Directive 89/391/EEC, Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that, in the cases referred to in Article 3, each worker receives sufficient training appropriate to the particular characteristics of  the job, account being taken of his qualifications and experience.    Article 5  Use of workers' services and medical surveillance of workers   1.  Member States shall have the option of prohibiting workers with an employment relationship as referred to in Article 1 from being used for certain work as defined in national legislation, which would be particularly dangerous to their safety or  health, and in particular for certain work which requires special medical surveillance, as defined in national legislation.   2.  Where Member States do not avail themselves of the option referred to in paragraph 1, they shall, without prejudice to Article 14 of Directive 89/391/EEC, take the necessary measures to ensure that workers with an employment relationship as  referred to in Article 1 who are used for work which requires special medical surveillance, as defined in national legislation, are provided with appropriate special medical surveillance.   3.  It shall be open to Member States to provide that the appropriate special medical surveillance referred to in paragraph 2 shall extend beyond the end of the employment relationship of the worker concerned.    Article 6  Protection and prevention services   Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that workers, services or persons designated, in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 89/391/EEC, to carry out activities related to protection from and prevention of occupational risks are  informed of the assignment of workers with an employment relationship as referred to in Article 1, to the extent necessary for the workers, services or persons designated to be able to carry out adequately their protection and prevention activities for  all the workers in the undertaking and/or establishment.  SECTION III SPECIAL PROVISIONS    Article 7  Temporary employment relationships: information   Without prejudice to Article 3, Member States shall take the necessary steps to ensure that:   1.before workers with an employment relationship as referred to in Article 1 (2) are supplied, a user undertaking and/or establishment shall specify to the temporary employment business, inter alia, the occupational qualifications required and the  specific features of the job to be filled;   2.the temporary employment business shall bring all these facts to the attention of the workers concerned.   Member States may provide that the details to be given by the user undertaking and/or establishment to the temporary employment business in accordance with point 1 of the first subparagraph shall appear in a contract of assignment.  Article 8  Temporary employment relationships: responsibility   Member States shall take the necessary steps to ensure that:   1.without prejudice to the responsibility of the temporary employment business as laid down in national legislation, the user undertaking and/or establishment is/are responsible, for the duration of the assignment, for the conditions governing  performance of the work;   2.for the application of point 1, the conditions governing the performance of the work shall be limited to those connected with safety, hygiene and health at work.  SECTION IV  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS    Article 9  More favourable provisions   This Directive shall be without prejudice to existing or future national or Community provisions which are more favourable to the safety and health protection of workers with an employment relationship as referred to in Article 1.    Article 10  Final provisions   1.  Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 1992 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.   When Member States adopt these measures, the latter shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the  Member States.   2.  Member States shall forward to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they have already adopted or adopt in the field covered by this Directive.   3.  Member States shall report to the Commission every five years on the practical implementation of this Directive, setting out the points of view of workers and employers.   The Commission shall bring the report to the attention of the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Advisory Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work.   4.  The Commission shall submit to the European Parliament, the Council and the Economic and Social Committee a regular report on the implementation of this Directive, due account being taken of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.

Council Directive 80/720/EEC of 24 June 1980 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the operating space, access to the driving position and the doors and windows of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors

Official Journal L 194 , 28/07/1980 P. 0001 - 0011 Finnish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 10 P. 0210  Spanish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 11 P. 0031  Swedish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 10 P. 0210  Portuguese special edition Chapter 13 Volume 11 P. 0031

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 24 June 1980  on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the operating space, access to the driving position and the doors and windows of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors  (80/720/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),  Whereas the technical requirements which tractors must satisfy pursuant to national laws relate inter alia to the operating space, access to the driving position (means of entry and exit), and the doors and windows;  Whereas these requirements differ from one Member State to another ; whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements, either in addition to or in place of their existing rules, in order in particular to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which forms the subject of Council Directive 74/150/EEC of 4 March 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (4), as amended by Directive 79/694/EEC (5), to be introduced in the case of each type of tractor,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 1. "Agricultural or forestry tractor" means any motor vehicle fitted with wheels or endless tracks and having at least two axles, the main function of which lies in its tractive power and which is specially designed to tow, push, carry or power certain tools, machinery or trailers intended for agricultural or forestry use. It may be equipped to carry a load and passengers.  2. This Directive shall apply only to tractors defined in paragraph 1 which are fitted with pneumatic tyres and which have two axles, a maximum design speed of between six and 25 km/h and a minimum fixed or variable drive-axle track width of 1 150 mm or more.  (1)OJ No C 25, 29.1.1979, p. 30. (2)OJ No C 127, 21.5.1979, p. 80. (3)OJ No C 227, 10.9.1979, p. 34. (4)OJ No L 84, 28.3.1974, p. 10. (5)OJ No L 205, 13.8.1979, p, 17.    Article 2 No Member State may refuse EEC type-approval or national type-approval of a tractor or refuse or prohibit the sale, registration, entry into service or use of a tractor on grounds relating to:    - the operating space,       - access to the driving position (means of entry and exit),       - doors and windows,         where these comply with the requirements of Annex I.   Article 3 Any amendments necessary to adapt the requirements of Annex I to technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 74/150/EEC.   Article 4 1. Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary in order to comply with this Directive within 18 months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.  2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.   Article 5 This Directive is addressed to the Member States.     Done at Luxembourg, 24 June 1980.  For the Council  The President  S. FORMICA     ANNEX I I. Operating space    I.1. "Operating space" means the minimum volume of space between any fixed parts of the structure which is available to the driver of the tractor to enable him to operate the tractor from his seat in any way required with complete safety.  "Seat reference point" means the reference point determined by the method described in Appendix 1.  "Reference plane" means the plane parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the tractor passing through the seat reference point.       I.2. The width of the operating space must be at least 900 mm, from 400 to 900 mm above the reference point and over a length of 450 mm forward of this point (see Figures 2 and 3).       I.3. Vehicle parts and accessories must not hamper the driver when driving the tractor.       I.4. For all positions of the steering column and the steering wheel, the clearance between the base of the steering wheel and the fixed parts of the tractor must be at least 50 mm ; in all other directions this clearance must be at least 80 mm from the rim of the steering wheel, as measured from outside the area occupied by the steering wheel (see Figure 2).       I.5. The rear wall of the cab from 300 to 900 mm above the seat reference point must be a minimum of 150 mm behind a vertical plane which is perpendicular to the reference plane and passes through the reference point (see Figures 2 and 3).  This wall must have a width of at least 300 mm on either side of the seat reference plane (see Figure 3).       I.6. The manual controls must be located in relation to one another and to the other parts of the tractor so that no danger of injury to the operator's hands arises from their operation.  Where the force required to operate a control exceeds 150 N, a clearance of 50 mm will be considered adequate and where the force is between 80 N and 150 N, a clearance of 25 mm will suffice. Any clearance will be accepted in relation to controls where the operating force required is less than 80 N (see Figure 3).

In such a situation Ireland shall inform the Commission, which shall  inform the other Member States. Article 2 1.  The marker shall consist of a well-defined combination of chemical additives to be  added under fiscal supervision before the mineral oils concerned are released for consumption. However, -  in the case of direct deliveries from another Member State under a tax suspension arrangements  outside a tax warehouse, Member States may require the marker to be added before the product leaves  the tax warehouse of despatch; -  Member States which adopted this measure before 1 January 1996 may, in certain exceptional cases  or situations, allow markers to be added after the mineral oils in question are released for  consumption under fiscal supervision. Any Member State which applies such a measure shall so inform  the Commission. The Commission shall inform the other Member States of the measure. In the latter  case, Member States may reimburse the excise duty paid when the product was released for  consumption; -  Denmark may, provided that the goods remain subject to fiscal control, delay the addition of the  marker until the moment of final retail sale, at the latest. 2.

Member States shall provide that the use of the mineral oils in question in the cases mentioned in  the first subparagraph is to be considered as an offence under the national law of the Member State  concerned. Each Member State shall take the measures required to give full effect to all the  provisions of this Directive and shall, in particular, determine the penalties to be imposed in the  event of failure to comply with the said measures; such penalties shall be commensurate with their  purpose and shall have adequate deterrent effect.

Commission Directive 2003/83/ECof 24 September 2003adapting to technical progress Annexes II, III and VI to Council Directive 76/768/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products(Text with EEA relevance)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/80/EC(2), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,After consulting the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for consumers,Whereas:(1) Benzoyl peroxide and hydroquinone methylether (synonym of 4-methoxyphenol) are currently listed in Annex II, hydroquinone is already subject to restrictions and conditions laid down in Annex III. The Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for consumers (hereinafter SCCNFP) has come to the conclusion that, due to the very low exposure to the consumer, the use of benzoyl peroxide, hydroquinone and hydroquinone methylether in artificial nail systems does not pose a risk. Therefore, reference No 178 of Annex II and reference No 14 of Annex III, part 1 should be amended accordingly; reference No 382 of Annex II should be deleted and reference Nos 94 and 95 should be added in Annex III, part 1.(2) It is the opinion of the SCCNFP that the toxicological effects of the dialkanolamine salts, and, in particular, their readiness for nitrosamines' formation are similar to the respective properties of the dialkanolamines and that dialkylamines and their salts have very similar properties with the respective dialkanolamines' analogues with respect to nitrosamines' formation. The terms "dialkanolamines" and "dialkylamines" and synonymous with "secondary alkanolamines" and "secondary alkylamines" and the latter are less ambiguous. Therefore, reference No 411 of Annex II and reference Nos 60, 61 and 62 of Annex III, part 1, should be amended accordingly.(3) The SCCNFP has come to the conclusion that the compound 2,4-diamino-pyrimidine-3-oxide (CAS No 74638-76-9) can be used safely in cosmetic products at concentrations up to 1,5 %. Therefore, 2,4-diamino-pyrimidine-3-oxide should be included in Annex III, part 1 as reference No 93.(4) The SCCNFP is of the opinion that the use of 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane should be restricted to rinse-off products at the current maximum permitted level of 0,1 %. Therefore reference No 36 of Annex VI, part 1 should be amended accordingly.(5) Therefore, Directive 76/768/EEC should be amended accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 1Annexes II, III and VI to Directive 76/768/EEC shall be amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.Article 21.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 18 December 1978  concerning the coordination of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in respect of the activities of veterinary surgeons  (78/1027/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 49, 57, 66 and 235 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),  Whereas, with a view to achieving the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in veterinary medicine laid down in Council Directive 78/1026/EEC of 18 December 1978 concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in veterinary medicine, including measures to facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establishment and freedom to provide services (4), the comparable nature of training courses in the Member States enables coordination in this field to be confined to the requirement that minimum standards be observed, which then leaves the Member States freedom of organization as regards instruction;  Whereas the coordination of the conditions for the pursuit of these activities, as envisaged by this Directive, does not exclude any subsequent coordination;  Whereas the coordination envisaged by this Directive covers the professional training of veterinary surgeons ; whereas, as far as training is concerned, most Member States do not at present distinguish between veterinary surgeons who pursue their activities as employed persons and those who are self-employed ; whereas, for this reason and in order to encourage as far as possible the free movement of professional persons within the Community, it appears necessary to extend the application of this Directive to employed veterinary surgeons,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 1. The Member States shall require persons wishing to take up and pursue the profession of veterinary surgeon to hold a diploma, certificate or other evidence of formal qualifications in veterinary medicine referred to in Article 3 of Directive 78/1026/EEC which guarantees that during his complete training period the person concerned has acquired:    (a) adequate knowledge of the sciences on which the activities of the veterinary surgeon are based;       (b) adequate knowledge of the structure and functions of healthy animals, of their husbandry, reproduction and hygiene in general, as well as their feeding, including the technology involved in the manufacture and preservation of foods corresponding to their needs;       (c) adequate knowledge of the behaviour and protection of animals;       (d) adequate knowledge of the causes, nature, course, effects, diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of animals, whether considered individually or in groups, including a special knowledge of the diseases which may be transmitted to humans;       (e) adequate knowledge of preventive medicine;       (f) adequate knowledge of the hygiene and technology involved in the production, manufacture and putting into circulation of animal foodstuffs or foodstuffs of animal origin intended for human consumption;       (g) adequate knowledge of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the subjects listed above;       (h) adequate clinical and other practical experience under appropriate supervision.         2. Veterinary training of this kind shall comprise in all at least five years' theoretical and practical full-time instruction given in a university, a higher education institution recognized as having equivalent status, or under the supervision of a university, and shall include at least the subjects listed in the Annex.  (1)OJ No C 92, 20.7.1970, p. 18. (2)OJ No C 19, 28.2.1972, p. 10. (3)OJ No C 60, 14.6.1971, p. 3. (4)See page 1 of this Official Journal.   3. In order to be accepted for this training, the candidate must have a diploma or a certificate which entitles him to be admitted to the universities or higher education institutions recognized as having equivalent status of a Member State for the course of study concerned.  4. Nothing in this Directive shall prejudice any facility which may be granted in accordance with their own rules by Member States in respect of their own territory to authorize holders of diplomas, certificates or other evidence of formal qualifications which have not been obtained in a Member State to take up and pursue the activities of a veterinary surgeon.   Article 2 This Directive shall also apply to nationals of Member States who, in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of 15 October 1968 on freedom of movement for workers within the Community (1), are pursuing or will pursue as employed persons the activities referred to in Article 1 of Directive 78/1026/EEC.   Article 3 1. Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within two years of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.  2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 24 July 1979  amending Directive 74/150/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors  (79/694/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),  Whereas certain systems or parts of tractors which form a separate technical unit are already marketed both separately and after being fitted to a tractor ; whereas, in so far as it is possible to check such systems or parts before they are fitted to a tractor, their free movement may be facilitated by the introduction of EEC type-approval also for these separate technical units;  Whereas it is therefore desirable that Council Directive 74/150/EEC of 4 March 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (3) should be supplemented without delay by provisions introducing such type-approval;  Whereas the EEC type-approval of separate technical units to be fitted to tractors simplifies the tractor type-approval procedure by avoiding the repetition of certain checks during type-approval ; whereas it must be possible, when granting EEC type-approval for separate technical units, to lay down restrictions for their use and/or conditions for their fitting;  Whereas it must always remain possible to adapt the separate Directives to technical progress in the production of separate technical units ; whereas the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Council Directive 74/150/EEC is appropriate for this purpose;  Whereas the technical requirements relating to the driver's operating space and windows of tractors differ from one Member State to another ; whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements without delay either in addition to or in place of their existing rules;  Whereas checks on compliance with these requirements should be made under the EEC type-approval procedure for each tractor type provided for in Directive 74/150/EEC ; whereas it is therefore necessary to supplement this Directive by incorporating the necessary references in Annex I (Model information document) and Annex II (Model EEC type-approval certificate),  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 Council Directive 74/150/EEC is amended as follows:    (a) The following Article shall be added after Article 9:  "Article 9a  1. Where the separate Directives make express provision for so doing, EEC type-approval may also be granted for types of systems or parts of tractors which form a separate technical unit.   2. Where the separate technical unit to be approved fulfils its function or offers a specific feature only in conjunction with other components of the tractor and for this reason compliance with one or more requirements can be verified only when the separate technical unit to be approved operates in conjunction with other tractor components, whether real or simulated, the scope of the EEC type-approval of the separate technical unit must be restricted accordingly. The EEC type-approval certificate for a separate technical unit shall then include any restrictions on its use and shall indicate any conditions for fitting it. Observance of these restrictions and conditions shall be verified at the time of EEC type-approval of the tractor.  (1)OJ No C 127, 21.5.1979, p. 80. (2)Opinion delivered on 22 and 23 May 1979 (not yet published in the Official Journal). (3)OJ No L 84, 28.3.1974, p. 10.    3. Articles 3 to 9 and 14 shall apply by analogy.  However, the holder of the EEC type-approval for a separate technical unit granted in accordance with this Article shall be obliged not only to complete the certificate provided for in Article 5 (2), but also to affix to each unit manufactured in conformity with the approved type the trade name or mark, the type and, if the separate Directive so provides, the type-approval number."         (b) The following paragraph shall be added to Article 11:  "This procedure shall also apply for the purpose of introducing the provisions relating to EEC type-approval for separate technical units into the separate Directives."       (c) The following sections shall be added to Annex I (Model information document):      - "8.4.4. Driver's operating space",           - "8.4.5. Windows".                  (d) The following sections shall be added to Annex II (Model EEC type-approval certificate):      - "7.4.4. Drivers operating space SD",           - "7.4.5. Windows SD".                     Article 2 1. Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary in order to comply with this Directive within 18 months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.  2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.

Council Directive 91/671/EEC of 16 December 1991 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to compulsory use of safety belts in vehicles of less than 3,5 tonnes

Official Journal L 373 , 31/12/1991 P. 0026 - 0028 Finnish special edition: Chapter 7 Volume 4 P. 0057  Swedish special edition: Chapter 7 Volume 4 P. 0057

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 16 December 1991 on the approximation of the laws of the Member  States relating to compulsory use of safety belts in vehicles of less than 3,5 tonnes (91/671/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article  75 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission  (1), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3), Whereas the national laws on compulsory use of safety belts differ widely from one Member State to  another; whereas it is therefore necessary to harmonize that compulsory use; Whereas the obligation to use safety belts should be harmonized in vehicles of less than 3,5 tonnes  in order to guarantee road users a greater degree of safety; Whereas Directives 76/115/EEC (4) and 77/541/EEC (5) concern the technical requirements relating to  safety belts with which motor vehicles must comply, but not the use of safety belts; Whereas in the resolution of 19 December 1984 (6), the Council and the Representatives of the  Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, undertook to ensure the rapid  adoption of road safety measures, and invited the Commission to submit proposals; Whereas resolutions of the European Parliament on road safety (7) have recommanded that the wearing  of safety belts by all passengers, including children, on all roads and in all seats in passenger  vehicles (except public service vehicles), should be compulsory; Whereas provision should be made for the compulsory use of child restraint systems on seats fitted  with safety belts; Whereas, pending harmonized Community standards for child restraint systems, those standards which  correspond to Member States' national requirements must be recognized throughout the Member  States; Whereas studies have also shown that rear seats are almost as hazardous as front seats for unbelted  passengers and that rear-seat passengers not wearing belts increase the risk of injuries to front  seat passengers; whereas deaths and injuries could thus be further reduced if the wearing of belts  in rear seats was made compulsory; Whereas the fixing of the date of entry into force of the measures referred to in this Directive  should allow time for the drafting of the implementing provisions required, particularly in those  Member States where as yet no provisions on this matter exist, HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: Article 1 1.  This Directive shall apply to all motor vehicles in categories  M1, M2 (except for rear seats and vehicles of a maximum permissible weight exceeding 3,5 tonnes and  those which include places specially designed for standing passengers) and N1 (except for rear  seats), as defined in Annex I to Directive 70/156/EEC (1), intended for use on the road, having at  least four wheels and a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h. 2.  for the purposes of this Directive: 1. 'safety belt (seat belt, belt)` means an assembly of straps with a securing buckle, adjusting  devices and attachments which is capable of being anchored inside a power-driven vehicle and is  designed to diminish the risk of injury to its wearer, in the event of collision or of abrupt  vehicle deceleration, by limiting the mobility of the wearer's body. Such an assembly is generally  referred to as a 'belt assembly`, a term also embracing any devices for energy absorption or belt  retraction; 2. 'restraint system` means a system combining a seat, fixed to the structure of the vehicle by  appropriate means and a safety belt for which at least one anchorage point is located on the seat  structure; 3. 'seat` means a structure which may or may not be integral with the vehicle structure complete  with trim, intended to seat one adult person. The term covers both an individual seat and part of a  bench seat intended to seat one person. Article 2 Member States shall ensure that the driver and passengers occupying the seats of  vehicles on the road as referred to in Article 1 wear safety belts or are restrained by an approved  restraint system provided the occupied seats are fitted with such equipment. Rear-seat occupants  must use equipped seats before others. Member States shall ensure that children under 12 years of age and who are less than 150 cm tall,  travelling in such vehicles and occupying belted seats, are restrained by an approved restraint  system suitable for the child's height and weight. These seats must be occupied before the others. The use of a restraint system approved by the competent authority of a Member State shall be  permitted by the other Member States. Article 3 The provisions of this Directive shall also apply to drivers and passengers of vehicles  being used on the road in the Community which are registered in a third country. Article 4 1.  By way of derogation from the second paragraph of Article 2, Member States may, on  their national territory, permit children aged three years and over occupying the seats of vehicles  referred to in Article 1 to be restrained by a safety belt or other restraint system approved for  adult use. 2.  Member States shall also, on their territory and under conditions specified in their national  law, allow that children under three years of age occupying rear seats need not be restrained by a  restraint system suitable for their height and weight if such children are transported in a vehicle  where such a system is unavailable. Article 5 Persons provided by the competent authorities with an exemption certificate for serious  medical reasons shall be exempt from the obligations laid down in Article 2. Any medical  certificate issued by the competent authorities in one Member State shall also be valid in any  other Member State; the medical certificate must indicate its period of validity and be shown to  all authorized persons upon request in accordance with the relevant provisions in force in each  Member State. It must bear the following symbol: >REFERENCE TO A FILM> Article 6 Member States may, with the Commission's agreement, grant exemptions other than those  laid down in Article 5, in order to: - take account of specific physical conditions, or particular circumstances of limited duration, - allow certain types of occupation to be carried out effectively, - ensure that the police, security services or emergency services can perform their duties  properly. Article 7 The Commission shall, by 1 August 1994, submit a report on the implementation of this  Directive for the particular purpose of establishing whether or not more stringent safety measures  and much closer harmonization are needed. If appropriate, the report shall be accompanied by  proposals, on which the Council shall act by a qualified majority at the earliest opportunity. Article 8 1.  After consulting the Commission, Member States shall bring into force the laws,  regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1  January  1993. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. 2.  When Member States adopt these provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or  be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of  making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States. 3.  Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the main provision of national  law, which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
