         COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2004/78/C
   of 29 April 2004
   amending Directive 2001/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to heating systems for motor vehicles and their trailers and Council Directive 70/156/EEC for the purposes of adapting to technical progress
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1) and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Directive 2001/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 September 2001 relating to heating systems for motor vehicles and their trailers (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 2001/56/EC is one of the separate directives under the EC type-approval procedure which has been established by Directive 70/156/EEC. Directive 2001/56/EC lays down requirements for the type approval of vehicles fitted with combustion heaters and for combustion heaters as components.

               (2)

               Pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 2001/56/EC the Commission has to examine additional safety requirements with respect to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fuelled heating systems of motor vehicles.

               (3)

               Until now Member States have applied individual national requirements on vehicles fitted with LPG heating systems. In order to provide a harmonised approach to the technical requirements for LPG appliances and heating systems, two European Standards which are now available should be applied within the type approval system for motor vehicles and their trailers. In the light of technical progress it is therefore considered necessary to introduce these two EN standards as well as main elements of UN/ECE Regulation No. 67 into Directive 2001/56/EC.

               (4)

               Directive 2001/56/EC should therefore be amended accordingly, in particular, in the interest of clarity Annex VIII should be replaced.

               (5)

               Exceptions relating to heating systems for special purpose vehicles, in particular for motor caravans and trailer caravans that are quite often fitted with LPG heating systems, are no longer required due to the introduction of requirements for LPG heating systems. Therefore the harmonised safety provisions of Directive 2001/56/EC have to apply to all vehicles including special purpose vehicles as referred to in Annex XI of Directive 70/156/EEC.

               (6)

               Directive 70/156/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress established under Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

The results of the test must be expressed as carbon dioxide emissions in g/km rounded to the nearest whole number.  4.3. Fuel consumptions are calculated according to point 7 by the carbon balance method using the measured emissions of CO2 and the other carbon related emissions (CO and HC). The results will be rounded to the first decimal place.  4.4. Test fuel  The appropriate reference fuels as defined in Annex VIII to Directive 91/441/EEC must be used for testing.   For the purpose of calculation mentioned in point 4.3, the following fuel characteristics will be used:   (a) density: measured on the test fuel according to ISO 3675 or an equivalent method;   (b) hydrogen - carbon ratio: fixed values will be used which are 1,85 for gasoline and 1,86 for diesel.  5. TEST CONDITIONS 5.1. Test vehicle 5.1.1. The vehicle must be presented in good mechanical condition. It must have been run in and driven at least 3 000 kilometres, but less than 15 000 kilometres, before the test.  5.1.2. The settings of the engine and of the vehicle controls must be those prescribed by the manufacturer. This requirement also applies, in particular to the idle settings, to the cold start device and to the exhaust gas pollutant emission control  system.  5.1.3. The laboratory may check that vehicle performance is as specified by the manufacturer and that it is possible to use it in normal driving conditions, particularly cold and hot start.  5.1.4.

For the purpose of the determination of CO2 emissions and the related fuel consumption, the inertia weight used to adjust the dynamometer will be chosen as follows:   "" ID="2">RW & le; 480> ID="3">3,8> ID="4">455"> ID="2">480 <  RW & le; 540> ID="3">4,1> ID="4">510"> ID="2">540 <  RW & le; 595> ID="3">4,3> ID="4">570"> ID="2">595 <  RW & le; 650> ID="3">4,5> ID="4">625"> ID="2">650 <  RW & le; 710>  ID="3">4,7> ID="4">680"> ID="2">710 <  RW & le; 765> ID="3">4,9> ID="4">740"> ID="2">765 <  RW & le; 850> ID="3">5,1> ID="4">800"> ID="2">850 <  RW & le; 965> ID="3">5,6> ID="4">910"> ID="2">965 <  RW & le; 1 080> ID="3">6,0> ID="4">1 020">  ID="2">1 080 <  RW & le; 1 190> ID="3">6,3> ID="4">1 130"> ID="2">1 190 <  RW & le; 1 305> ID="3">6,7> ID="4">1 250"> ID="2">1 305 <  RW & le; 1 420> ID="3">7,0> ID="4">1 360"> ID="2">1 420 <  RW & le; 1 530> ID="3">7,3> ID="4">1 470"> ID="2">1 530  <  RW & le; 1 640> ID="3">7,5> ID="4">1 590"> ID="2">1 640 <  RW & le; 1 760> ID="3">7,8> ID="4">1 700"> ID="2">1 760 <  RW & le; 1 870> ID="3">8,1> ID="4">1 810"> ID="2">1 870 <  RW & le; 1 980> ID="3">8,4> ID="4">1 930"> ID="2">1 980 <  RW & le; 2  100> ID="3">8,6> ID="4">2 040"> ID="2">2 100 <  RW & le; 2 210> ID="3">8,8> ID="4">2 150"> ID="2">2 210 <  RW & le; 2 380> ID="3">9,0> ID="4">2 270"> ID="2">2 380 <  RW & le; 2 610> ID="3">9,4> ID="4">2 270"> ID="2">2 610  ID="3">9,8>  ID="4">2 270">    If the corresponding equivalent inertia is not available on the dynamometer, the bigger value closest to the vehicle reference mass will be used.  6.3.3. When using the alternative method for the setting of the dynamometer, the brake is adjusted in accordance with the values of Pa listed in the above table.  6.4. Calculation of emissions 6.4.1. General provisions 6.4.1.1. Emissions of gaseous pollutants are calculated by means of the following equation:   where:   Mi = mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per kilometre;   Vmix = volume of the diluted exhaust gas expressed in litres per test and corrected to standard conditions (273,2 K and 101,33 kPa);   Qi = density of the pollutant i in grams per litre at normal temperature and pressure (273,2 K and 101,33 kPa);   Ci = concentration of the pollutant i in the diluted exhaust gas expressed in ppm and corrected by the amount of the pollutant i contained in the dilution air. If Ci is expressed in % volume, 10 6 factor is replaced by 10 2;   d = driven distance during the operating cycle in km.  6.4.1.2. Volume determination 6.4.1.2.1. Calculation of the volume when a variable dilution device with constant flow control by orifice or venturi is used. Record continuously the parameters showing the volumetric flow, and calculate the total volume for the duration of the test.  6.4.1.2.2. Calculation of volume when a positive displacement pump is used. The volume of diluted exhaust gas in systems comprising a positive displacement pump is calculated with the following formula:   V = Vo · N  where:   V = volume of the diluted exhaust gas expressed in litres per test (prior to correction);   Vo = volume of gas delivered by the positive displacement pump on testing conditions in litres per revolution;   N = number of revolutions per test.  6.4.1.2.3. Correction of the diluted exhaust-gas volume to standard conditions. The diluted exhaust-gas volume is corrected by means of the following formula:   in which:   where:   Pp = absolute pressure at the inlet to the positive displacement pump in kPa;   Tp = average temperature of the diluted exhaust gas entering the positive displacement pump during the test (K).  6.4.1.3. Calculation of the corrected concentration of pollutants in the sampling bag  where:   Ci = concentration of the pollutant i in the diluted exhaust gas, expressed in ppm or % volume and corrected by the amount of i contained in the dilution air;   Ce = measured concentration of pollutant i in the diluted exhaust gas, expressed in ppm, or % volume;   Cd = measured concentration of pollutant i in the air used for dilution, expressed in ppm, or % volume;   DF = dilution factor.   The dilution factor is calculated as follows:   where:   CCO2 = concentration of CO2 in the diluted exhaust gas contained in the sampling bag, expressed in % volume;   CHC = concentration of HC in the diluted exhaust gas contained in the sampling bag, expressed in ppm carbon equivalent;   CCO = concentration of CO in the diluted exhaust gas contained in the sampling bag, expressed in ppm.  6.4.1.4. Example 6.4.1.4.1. Data 6.4.1.4.1.1. Ambient conditions:   ambient temperature: 23 °C = 296,2 °K,   barometric pressure: PB = 101,33 kPa.  6.4.1.4.1.2.

Special provisions relating to vehicles equipped with compression ignition engines  HC measurements for compression-ignition engines  The average HC concentration used in determining the HC mass emissions from compression-ignition engines is calculated with the aid of the following formula:   where:       = integral of the recording of the heated FID over the test duration (t2   t1);   Ce = HC concentration of the diluted exhaust sample as calculated from the integrated HC trace, in ppm carbon equivalent.  6.5. Interpretation of the results 6.5.1. The CO2 value adopted as the type-approval value shall be the value declared by the manufacturer if the value measured by the technical service does not exceed the declared value by more than 4 %. The measured value can be lower without any  limitations.  6.5.2. If the measured value of CO2 exceeds the manufacturer's declared CO2 value by more than 4 %, then another test is run on the same vehicle.   When the average of the two test results does not exceed the manufacturer's declared value by more than 4 %, then the value declared by the manufacturer is taken as the type-approval value.  6.5.3. If the average still exceeds the declared value by more than 4 %, a final test is run on the same vehicle.   The average of the three test results is taken as the type-approval value.  7. CALCULATION OF FUEL CONSUMPTIONS 7.1. The fuel consumptions are calculated from the emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide calculated in accordance with paragraph 6.  7.2. The fuel consumptions expressed in litres per 100 km are calculated using the following formulae:   (a) for petrol-engined vehicles:   (b) for diesel-engined vehicles:   where:   FC = fuel consumption in litres per 100 km;   HC = measured emission of hydrocarbon in g/km;   CO = measured emission of carbon monoxide in g/km;   CO2 = measured emission of carbon dioxide in g/km;   D = density of the test fuel.  8. AMENDMENTS TO APPROVALS 8.1. In the case of amendments to approvals granted pursuant to this Directive the provisions of Article 5 of Directive 70/156/EEC shall apply.  9. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION FOR CO2 EMISSIONS 9.1. As a general rule, measures to ensure the conformity of production with regard to CO2 emissions from vehicles is checked on the basis of the description in the type-approval certificate set out in Annex II to this Directive and in accordance with  the provisions of Article 10 of Directive 70/156/EEC.   If the authority is not satisfied with the auditing procedure of the manufacturer, then points 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 of Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC shall apply.  9.1.1. If a vehicle type has had one or several extensions, the tests will be carried out on the vehicle(s) described in the information package which accompanied the first type-approval application.  9.1.1.1. Conformity of the vehicle for the CO2 test.  9.1.1.1.1. Three vehicles are randomly taken in the series and are tested as described in paragraph 6 of this Annex.  9.1.1.1.2. If the authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer, according to Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC, the tests are carried out according to point 9.2 of this Annex.   If the authority is not satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer according to Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC, the tests are carried out according to point 9.3 of this Annex.  9.1.1.1.3. The production of a series is regarded as conforming or non-conforming, on the basis of tests on the three sampled vehicles, once a pass or fail decision is reached for CO2, according to the test criteria applied in the appropriate table.   If no pass decision and/or no fail decision is reached for CO2, a test is carried out on an additional vehicle (see Figure I/8).   FIGURE I/8  9.1.1.2. Notwithstanding the requirements of point 5.1.1 of this Annex, the tests will be carried out on vehicles which have not travelled any distance.  9.1.1.2.1. However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests will be carried out on vehicles which have been run-in a maximum of 15 000 km.   In this case, the running-in procedure will be conducted by the manufacturer who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to those vehicles.  9.1.1.2.2. If the manufacturer asks to conduct a running-in procedure ('x' km, where x & le; 15 000 km), it may be carried out as follows:   - the emission of CO2 will be measured at zero and at 'x' km on the first tested vehicle (which can be the type-approval vehicle),   - the evolution coefficient of the emission between zero and 'x' km will be calculated as follows:   It may be less than one,   - the following vehicles will not be subjected to the running-in procedure, but their zero km emissions will be modified by the evolution coefficient, EC.   In this case, the values to be taken will be:   - the value at 'x' km for the first vehicle,   - the values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the following vehicles.  9.1.1.2.3. As an alternative to this procedure, the car manufacturer can use a fixed evolution coefficient EC of 0,92 and multiply all values of CO2 measured at zero km by this factor.  9.1.1.2.4. The reference fuels described in Annex VII to Directive 91/441/EEC shall be used for this test.  9.2. Conformity of production when manufacturer's statistical data is available 9.2.1. The following sections describe the procedure to be used to verify the CO2 conformity of production requirements when the manufacturer's production standard deviation is satisfactory.  9.2.2. With a minimum sample size of three the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 % of the production defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %), while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 % of  the production defective is 0,1 (consumer's risk = 10 %).  9.2.3. The following procedure is used (see Figure I/8).   Let L be the natural logarithm of the CO2 type-approval value:   xi = the natural logarithm of the measurement for the i-th vehicle of the sample;   s = an estimate of the production standard deviation (after taking the natural logarithm of the measurements);   n = the current sample number.  9.2.4. Compute for the sample, the test statistic quantifying the sum of the standardized deviations to the limit and defined as:  S9.2.5. Then:   - if the test statistic is greater than the pass decision number for the sample size given in Table I/ /9.2.5, a pass decision is reached,   - if the test statistic is less than the fail decision number for the sample size given in Table I/ /9.2.5, a fail decision is reached,   - otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested according to point 6 of this Annex and the procedure is applied to the sample with one unit more.

Conformity of production when manufacturer's statistical data is unsatisfactory or unavailable.  9.3.1. The following sections describe the procedure to be used to verify the CO2 conformity of production requirements when the manufacturer's evidence of production standard deviation is either unsatisfactory or unavailable.  9.3.2. With a minimum sample size of three the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 % of the production defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %), while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 % of  the production defective is 0,1 (consumer's risk = 10 %).  9.3.3. The measurement of CO2 is considered to be log normally distributed and should first be transformed by taking the natural logarithms. Let m0 and m denote the minimum and maximum sample sizes respectively (m0 = 3 and m = 32) and let n denote the  current sample number.  9.3.4. If the natural logarithms of the measurements in the series are x1, x2, . . ., xj and L is the natural logarithm of the CO2 type-approval value, then define:  SS9.3.5. Table I/ /9.3.5 shows values of the pass (An) and fail (Bn) decision numbers against current sample number. The test statistic is the ratio   dn / Vn and shall be used to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows:   for m0 & le; n & le; m:   - pass the series if   dn / Vn & le; An,   - fail the series if   dn / Vn & ge; Bn,   - take another measurement if An <    dn / Vn <  Bn.  9.3.6.

      COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/53/EC
   of 30 April 2008
   amending Annex IV to Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards Spring viraemia of carp (SVC)
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 61(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 2006/88/EC lays down certain animal health rules applicable to aquaculture animals and products thereof. Those rules take into account the listing of diseases as exotic and non-exotic in Part II of Annex IV to that Directive and the susceptible species.

               (2)

               Spring viraemia of carp (SVC) is included in the list of non-exotic diseases in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC.

               (3)

               In the framework of discussions in the Council leading to the adoption of Directive 2006/88/EC, the Commission issued a declaration acknowledging the concerns raised by several of the carp producing Member States on the consequences of having SVC subject to harmonised Community provisions. The Commission therefore declared that it would, after the entry into force of Directive 2006/88/EC, but before its date of application, upon the request and based on the arguments presented to it, re-assess whether SVC should continue be included in the list in Part II of Annex IV to that Directive. The Commission has received requests for re-assessment from several Member States.

               (4)

               Part I of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC sets out the criteria for listing diseases as exotic and non-exotic. According to the criteria for listing non-exotic diseases, consideration should be given as to whether the disease has the potential for significant economic impact if introduced into a Member State free of the disease by production losses and by annual costs associated with the disease and its control exceeding 5 % of the value of the production of the susceptible aquaculture animal species production in the region.

               (5)

               According to information from the main carp production Member States, SVC is already an endemic disease. However, during the last 20 to 25 years, SVC has not caused major losses to the industry.

               (6)

               In addition, it is appropriate to consider whether SVC may be controlled at Member State level and whether such control is cost-beneficial. Due to the hydrographical situation and the structure of the carp aquaculture in the main carp producing Member States, the costs related to measures to eradicate that disease would be disproportionate to the economic losses caused by the disease. On the basis of the recent information received, SVC appears not to meet all the criteria for inclusion in the list of non-exotic diseases in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC.

               (7)

               Consequently, it is appropriate to delete SVC from the list of non-exotic diseases in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC.

               (8)

               Article 43 of Directive 2006/88/EC provides that Member States may take measures to prevent the introduction of, or to control, diseases not listed in Part II of Annex IV thereto, where those diseases constitute a significant risk for the animal health situation of aquaculture or wild aquatic animals in those Member States. Those measures are not to exceed the limits of what is appropriate and necessary to prevent the introduction of, or control of, such diseases.

               (9)

               Pursuant to Article 63 of Directive 2006/88/EC, Commission Decision 2004/453/EC of 29 April 2004 implementing Council Directive 91/67/EEC as regards measures against certain diseases in aquaculture animals (2) is to continue to apply for the purposes of Directive 2006/88/EC pending the adoption of the necessary provisions in accordance with Article 43 of that Directive, which are to be adopted no later than three years after entry into force of the Directive.

               (10)

               Under Commission Decision 2004/453/EC, Denmark, Ireland, Finland, Sweden and United Kingdom have their whole territory or parts thereof approved as SVC-free or under control and eradication programmes. Those Member States may consequently require additional guarantees for the introduction into those territories of species susceptible to SVC.

               (11)

               The Member States that may require additional guarantees in place in accordance with Decision 2004/453/EC should be allowed to continue to apply measures in accordance with Article 43 of Directive 2006/88/EC, including restrictions on the placing on the market and imports, in order to control SVC and maintain their disease-free status.

               (12)

               Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (13)

               Directive 2006/88/EC provides that the Member States are to adopt national measures complying with that Directive by 1 May 2008 and apply the national provisions by 1 August 2008. In order to give Member States sufficient time, the national measures complying with Directive 2006/88/EC, as amended by the present Directive, should be adopted by 1 August 2008, and the national provisions applied from 1 August 2008.

               (14)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
   Article 2
   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 1 August 2008 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
   They shall apply those provisions from 1 August 2008.
   When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
   Article 3
   This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   Article 4
   This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

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

Official Journal L 084 , 28/03/1974 P. 0010 - 0024 Finnish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 3 P. 0227  Greek special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 2 P. 0209  Swedish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 3 P. 0227  Spanish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 3 P. 0183  Portuguese special edition Chapter 13 Volume 3 P. 0183

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 4 March 1974  on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of wheeled agricultural to forestry tractors  (74/150/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 in each Member State tractors must comply with certain mandatory technical requirements ; whereas such requirements differ from one Member State to another and consequently hinder trade within the European Economic Community;  Whereas such hindrances to the establishment and proper functioning of the common market can be reduced, and even eliminated, if all Member States adopt the same requirements, either in addition to or in place of their existing laws;  Whereas the requirements of this Directive apply to tractors fitted with pneumatic types and having a maximum design speed between 6 and 25 km/h ; whereas these requirements are intended principally to improve safety on the road and at work in so far as the design of these vehicles is concerned ; whereas, on the other hand, other tractors and, in particular, those with a maximum design speed in excess of 25 km/h will if necessary, be subject to special requirements;  Whereas it is the established practice of the Member States to check that tractors comply with the relevant technical requirements before they are placed on the market ; whereas this check is carried out on tractor types;  Whereas the harmonized technical requirements applicable to individual tractor parts and characteristics should be specified in special Directives;  Whereas at Community level it is necessary to introduce a Community type-approval procedure for each tractor type in order that compliance with the above requirements can be checked and that each Member State may recognize checks carried out by other Member States;  Whereas that procedure must enable each Member State to ascertain whether a tractor type has been submitted to the checks laid down by special Directives and listed in a type-approval certificate ; whereas that procedure must enable manufacturers to complete a certificate of conformity for all tractors which conform to an approved type ; whereas a tractor accompanied by such a certificate must be considered by all Member States as conforming to their own laws ; whereas each Member State should inform the other Member States of its findings by sending a copy of the type-approval certificate completed for each tractor type which has been approved;  Whereas, as a transitional measure, it must be possible to grant type-approval on the basis of Community requirements as and when special Directives relating to the various tractor parts or characteristics enter into force, national requirements remaining applicable in respect of parts and characteristics still not covered by such Directives;  Whereas, without prejudice to Articles 169 and 170 of the Treaty, it is advisable within the framework of cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States, to lay down provisions to help resolve disputes of a technical nature regarding the conformity of production models to an approved type;  (1)OJ No C 160, 18.12.1969, p. 29. (2)OJ No C 48, 16.4.1969, p. 17.   Whereas a tractor may conform to an approved type but nevertheless have certain features which are potential safety hazards on the road or at work ; whereas it is therefore advisable to prescribe an appropriate procedure to preclude such hazards;  Whereas technical progress requires prompt adaption of the technical requirements specified in the special Directives ; whereas, in order to facilitate implementation of the measures required for this purpose, a procedure should be prescribed for establishing close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives on the Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade in the Agricultural or Forestry Tractor Sector,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:     CHAPTER I Definitions   Article 1 1. "Agricultural or forestry tractor" means any motor vehicle, fitted with wheels or caterpillar tracks, 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 above which are fitted with pneumatic tyres and which have two axles and a maximum design speed between 6 and 25 km/h.    Article 2 For the purposes of this Directive:    (a) "national type-approval" means the administrative procedure known as:      - "agréation par type" and "aanneming" in Belgian law;           - "standardtypegodkendelse" in Danish law;           - "allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis" in German law;           - "réception par type" in French law;           - "type-approval" in Irish law;           - "omologazione" or "approvazione del tipo" in Italian law;           - "agréation" in Luxembourg law;           - "typegoedkeuring" in Netherlands law;           - "type-approval" in the law of the United Kingdom.                  (b) "EEC type-approval" means the procedure whereby a Member State certifies that a tractor type satisfies the technical requirements of the special Directives and the checks listed in the EEC type-approval certificate, the model of which is given in Annex II.          CHAPTER II EEC tractor type-approval   Article 3 Application for EEC type-approval shall be submitted by the manufacturer or his authorized representative to a Member State. An application shall be accompanied by an information document, the model of which is given in Annex I, and by the documents referred to therein. No application in respect of any one type of tractor may be submitted to more than one Member State.   Article 4 1. A Member State shall approve all tractor types which satisfy the following conditions:    (a) the tractor type must conform to the particulars in the information document;       (b) the tractor type must satisfy the checks listed in the model, referred to in Article 2 (b), of the type-approval certificate.         2. The Member State which has granted type-approval shall take the necessary measures to verify, in so far as is necessary, and if need be in cooperation with the competent authorities of the other Member States, that production models conform to the approved prototype. Such verification shall be limited to spot checks.  The Member State shall complete all the sections of a type-approval certificate for each tractor type which it approves.    Article 5 1. The competent authorities of each Member State shall send within one month to the competent authorities of the other Member States a copy of the information document and approval certificate for each tractor type which they approve or refuse to approve.  2. The manufacturer or his authorized representative in the country of registration shall complete a certificate of conformity, the model of which is given in Annex III, for each tractor manufactured in conformity with the approved prototype.  3. Member States may, however, for purposes of tractor taxation or completion of its registration documents, ask for particulars not mentioned in Annex III to be given on the certificate of conformity, provided that such particulars are explicitly stated on the information document or can be derived therefrom by a straight-forward calculation.   Article 6 1. The Member State which has granted EEC type-approval must take the necessary measures to ensure that it is informed of any cessation of production and of any change in particulars appearing in the information document.  2. If the State in question considers that such a change does not require an amendment to the existing type-approval certificate, or completion of a new type-approval certificate, the competent authorities of that State shall inform the manufacturer thereof and shall send to the competent authorities of the other Member States, in periodic consignments, copies of amendments to information documents which have already been distributed.  3. If the State in question finds that an amendment to an information document warrants fresh checks or fresh tests and that it is accordingly necessary to amend the existing type-approval certificate or complete a new type-approval certificate, the competent authorities of that State shall inform the manufacturer thereof and shall, within one month of such new documents being completed, send them to the competent authorities of the other Member States.  4. Where a type-approval certificate is amended or replaced or production of the approved tractor type ceases, the competent authorities of the Member State which granted that type-approval shall, within one month, communicate to the competent authorities of the other Member States the serial numbers of the last tractor produced in conformity with the old certificate and, where applicable, the serial numbers of the first tractor produced in conformity with the new or amended certificate.   Article 7 1. No Member State may refuse the registration or may prohibit the sale, entry into service or use of any new tractor on grounds relating to its construction or operation where that tractor is accompanied by a certificate of conformity.  2. Nevertheless, this certificate shall not prevent a Member State from taking such measures in respect of tractors which do not conform to the approved prototype.  Failure to conform to the approved prototype shall be established where deviations from the particulars in the information document are found to exist and where these deviations have not been authorized under Article 6 (2) or (3) by the Member State which granted the type-approval. A tractor shall not be considered to deviate from the approved type where tolerances are permitted by special Directives and these tolerances are respected.   Article 8 1. If the Member State which has granted EEC type-approval finds that a number of tractors accompanied by a certificate of conformity to a particular type do not conform to the type which it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production models conform to the approved type. The competent authorities of that State shall advise those of the other Member States of the measures taken, which may, where necessary, extend to withdrawal of EEC type-approval. The said authorities shall take like measures if they are informed by the competent authorities of another Member State of such failure to conform.  2. The competent authorities of the Member States shall inform one another, within one month, of any withdrawal of EEC type-approval, and of the reasons for such a measure.  3. If the Member State which has granted EEC type-approval disputes the failure to conform notified to it, the Member States concerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute.   The Commission shall be kept informed and shall, where necessary, hold appropriate consultations for the purpose of reaching a settlement.   Article 9 1. If a Member State finds that tractors of a particular type may be a hazard to safety on the road or at work, even though they are accompanied by a properly issued certificate of conformity, then that State may, for a maximum period of six months, refuse to register new tractors of that type or prohibit their sale, entry into service or use in its territory. It shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof, stating the reasons for its decision.  2. The Commission shall within six weeks consult the Member States concerned. It shall deliver an opinion without delay and take appropriate steps. Where the Commission considers that an amendment as envisaged in Article 11 is necessary, the period of time laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be extended until the procedure set out in Article 13 has been completed.   CHAPTER III Transitional provisions  Article 10 1. Once this Directive has entered into force and as the special Directives necessary for the granting of EEC type-approval become applicable:    - in Member States where tractors or a category of tractor are subject to national type-approval, such national type-approval shall be based on the harmonized technical requirements instead of on the corresponding national requirements if the applicant so requests;       - in Member States where tractors or a category of tractor are not subject to national type-approval, the sale, registration, entry into service or use of such tractors may not be refused or prohibited on the grounds that they comply with the harmonized technical requirements instead of the corresponding national requirements provided that the manufacturer or his authorized representative informs the competent authorities of those States that they do so comply;       - on application by a manufacturer or his authorized representative and on submission of the information document referred to in Article 3, the Member State concerned shall complete the sections of the type-approval certificate referred to in Article 2 (b). A copy of this certificate shall be issued to the applicant. Other Member States shall accept this document as proof that the requisite checks have been carried out on the same type of tractor.         2. The provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article shall be repealed once all the requirements necessary for the granting of EEC type-approval are applicable.  CHAPTER IV General and final provisions   Article 11 Any changes which are necessary in order to adapt:    - Annexes I, II and III of this Directive ; or       - the provisions contained in the special Directives referred to in Annex II and specified in each of those Directives,         to take account of technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13.   Article 12 1. A Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives on the Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade in the Agricultural and Forestry Tractors Sector, hereinafter called "the Committee", is hereby set up ; it shall consist of representatives of the Member States with a representative of the Commission as Chairman.  2. The Committee shall adopt its own rules of procedure.   Article 13 1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, matters shall be referred to the Committee by the Chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of the representative of a Member State.  2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be adopted. The Committee shall deliver its Opinion on the draft within a time limit set by the Chairman  having regard to the urgency of the matter. Opinions shall be adopted by a majority of 41 votes, the votes of Member States being weighted as provided in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty. The Chairman shall not vote.  3.    (a) The Commission shall adopt the measures envisaged where they are in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee.       (b) Where the measures envisaged are not in accordance with the Opinion of the Committee, or if no Opinion is adopted, the Commission shall without delay propose to the Council the measures to be adopted. The Council shall act by a qualified majority.       (c) If, within three months of the proposal being submitted to it, the Council has not acted, the proposed measures shall be adopted by the Commission.         Article 14 Any decisions taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implementation of this Directive and refusing or withdrawing type-approval, or refusing registration or prohibiting sale or use, shall state in detail the reasons on which they are based. A decision shall be notified to the party concerned, who shall at the same time be informed of the remedies available to him under the laws in force in the Member States and of the time limits allowed for the exercise of such remedies.   Article 15 1. Member States shall put into force provisions containing the provisions necessary in order to comply with this Directive within eighteen 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.
