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)Directive 2007/46/EC establishes an harmonised framework containing the administrative provisions and general technical requirements                              for all new vehicles. In particular, it lists the regulatory acts laying down the technical requirements with which vehicles                              have to comply in order to be granted EC vehicle type-approval. Furthermore, Directive 2007/46/EC made the EC whole-vehicle                              type-approval mandatory for special purpose vehicles in accordance with the timetable set out in its Annex XIX.

(2)Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), introduced new safety features for vehicles and provided for the repeal of several directives and their replacement by the                              corresponding United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulations.

(3)Annex XI to Directive 2007/46/EC contains a list of regulatory acts for the EC type-approval of special purpose vehicles,                              as well as specific provisions for such vehicles. It is essential to adapt Annex XI to take into account the changes introduced                              by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009. The date of application of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 shall apply.

(4)To achieve the harmonisation of the technical requirements applying for the EC whole-vehicle type-approval of special purpose                              vehicles, it is essential to amend Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC and to establish stricter requirements on ambulances and                              wheelchair accessible vehicles. In order to give time to industry to adapt their vehicles, those sticter requirements shall                              only apply to new vehicle types.

(5)Annex XVIII to Directive 2007/46/EC was relevant for the registration of special purpose vehicles based on incomplete vehicles                              holding a national type-approval. Since EC type-approvals will replace national type-approvals in accordance with the dates                              set out in Annex XIX to Directive 2007/46/EC, it is appropriate to delete Annex XVIII at the end of the transitional period                              foreseen by Annex XIX to Directive 2007/46/EC.

(6)Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2007/46/EC lists the UNECE Regulations recognised as an alternative to the directives mentioned                              in Part I of Annex IV. With the repeal of most of those directives by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 from 1 November 2014 and                              the adoption of a new UNECE Regulation on pedestrian safety, it is appropriate to update the relevant entries in Part II of                              Annex IV to Directive 2007/46/EC. Furthermore, it is appropriate to correct several errors in Annex IV to that directive.

(7)Annex XII to Directive 2007/46/EC was amended the same day by Commission Regulation (EU) 1229/2012(3) and by Commission Regulation (EU) 1230/2012(4), which may lead to an unclear situation regarding the number of units allowed for vehicles holding a small series type-approval                              because Regulation (EU) 1229/2012 was drafted to be published after Regulation (EU) 1230/2012. To remove this uncertainty,                              it is appropriate to publish again the consolidated version of Annex XII as amended by these two legal texts.

(8)Directive 2007/46/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,

##### A1The fitting of ESC is not mandatory. In the case of multi-stage approvals, where the modifications made at a particular stage                                 are likely to affect the function of the base vehicle’s ESC system, the manufacturer may either disable the system or demonstrate                                 that the vehicle has not been rendered unsafe or unstable. This may be demonstrated, e.g., by performing rapid double lane-change                                 manoeuvres in each direction at 80 km/h with sufficient severity to cause intervention by the ESC system. These interventions                                 shall be well-controlled and shall act to improve stability of the vehicle. The Technical Service shall have the right to                                 request further testing if deemed necessary.U.K.

##### BApplication limited to doors giving access to the seats designated for normal use when the vehicle is travelling on the road                                 and where the distance between the R point of the seat and the average plane of the door surface, measured perpendicular to                                 the longitudinal medium plane of the vehicle, does not exceed 500 mm.U.K.

##### CApplication limited to that part of the vehicle in front of the rearmost seat designated for normal use when the vehicle is                                 travelling on the road and also limited to the head impact zone as defined in the legal act.U.K.

##### DApplication limited to seats designated for normal use when the vehicle is travelling on the road. Seats which are not designated                                 for use when the vehicle is travelling on the road shall be clearly identified to users either by means of a pictogram or                                 a sign with an appropriate text.
