COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/19/EU

of 9 March 2010

amending, for the purposes of adaptation to technical progress in the field of spray-suppression systems of certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailers, Council Directive 91/226/EEC, and Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) (1), and in particular Article 39(2) thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Council Directive 91/226/EEC of 27 March 1991 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the spray-suppression systems of certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailers (2) is one of the separate directives in the context of the EC type-approval procedure established under Directive 2007/46/EC. The provisions of Directive 2007/46/EC relating to systems, components and separate technical units for vehicles therefore apply to Directive 91/226/EEC.

 

(2)

In view of the mandatory application of the EC type-approval procedure to all vehicle categories covered by Directive 2007/46/EC, it is necessary to provide harmonised requirements with regard to spray suppression for all vehicle categories covered by Directive 91/226/EEC. Furthermore, it is necessary to clarify that those requirements are not mandatory for off-road vehicles. Finally, in view of the experience gained, it is necessary to adapt Directive 91/226/EEC and, consequently, Annex IV to Directive 2007/46/EC to technical progress.

 

(3)

Directives 91/226/EEC and 2007/46/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

 

(4)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
