COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2024/784
of 26 February 2024
on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union in the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on proposals for modifications to UN regulation Nos 10, 13, 37, 45, 46, 48, 53, 54, 55, 79, 106, 107, 128, 130, 140, 148, 149, 150, 158 and 167, and on a proposal for a new UN regulation on driver control assistance system (DCAS)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
By Council Decision 97/836/EC (1), the Union acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) 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 (the ‘Revised 1958 Agreement’). The Revised 1958 Agreement entered into force on 24 March 1998. |
(2) |
By Council Decision 2000/125/EC (2), the Union acceded to the Agreement concerning the establishing of global technical regulations for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles (the ‘Parallel Agreement’). The Parallel Agreement entered into force on 15 February 2000. |
(3) |
Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) lays down administrative provisions and technical requirements for type approval and placing on the market of all new vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units. That Regulation incorporates regulations adopted under the Revised 1958 Agreement (‘UN regulations’) in the EU type approval system, either as requirements for type approval or as alternatives to Union legislation. |
(4) |
Pursuant to Article 1 of the Revised 1958 Agreement and Article 6 of the Parallel Agreement, the UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) may adopt proposals for modifications to UN regulations, UN global technical regulations (‘UN GTRs’) and UN resolutions, and proposals for new UN regulations, UN GTRs and UN resolutions on the approval of vehicles. Moreover, pursuant to those provisions, WP.29 may adopt proposals for authorisations to develop amendments to UN GTRs or to develop new UN GTRs, and may adopt proposals for the extension of mandates for UN GTRs. |
(5) |
From 5 to 8 March 2024, during its 192nd session, WP.29 may adopt proposals for modifications to UN regulation Nos 10, 13, 37, 45, 46, 48, 53, 54, 55, 79, 106, 107, 128, 130, 140, 148, 149, 150, 158 and 167, and a proposal for a new UN regulation on driver control assistance system (DCAS). |
(6) |
The UN regulations will be binding on the Union and they will decisively influence the content of Union law in the field of vehicle type approval. Therefore, it is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in WP.29 on the adoption of those proposals. |
(7) |
In order to reflect experience and technical developments, the requirements for certain aspects or features covered by UN regulation Nos 10, 13, 37, 45, 46, 48, 53, 54, 55, 79, 106, 107, 128, 130, 140, 148, 149, 150, 158 and 167 need to be amended or supplemented. |
(8) |
In order to allow for technical progress and to improve safety, a new UN regulation on driver control assistance system (DCAS) needs to be adopted. |
(9) |
Those proposals are in line with the EU... |
