Amendment 3
Recital 9a (new)
(9a) Member States should be able to take measures to
encourage the retrofitting of older two and three-wheel
motor vehicles with emission-control devices and components.
These measures should not result in discrimination againstowners of older vehicles.
Amendment 4
Recital 11
(11) It is necessary to establish a further stage of emission
limits, comprising further substantial reductions with respect
to the limit values for 2003; such limit values can be devel-
oped in detail only when the current test cycle has beenrevised and after further study of the technical feasibilityand emission-reduction potential of the technology .(11) It is necessary to establish a further stage of mandatory
emission limits with effect from 2006 comprising further sub-
stantial reductions with respect to the limit values for 2003.
Amendment 5
Recital 11a (new)
(11a) In order to ensure compliance with emission limit
values, conformity testing of in-service two and three-wheelmotor vehicles (in-service tests) should be introduced from1 January 2006. Specific requirements for the correct oper-ation of emission-control devices during the normal life oftwo or three-wheel motor vehicles should be introduced, asfrom 1 January 2004 for up to five years or 30000 km,whichever is the sooner, and as from 1 January 2006 for upto five years or 50000 km, whichever is the sooner.
