Tnisproposal concerns onlytechnical requirements fortheconstruction
andtestingofrear–registration-plate illuminating devicesformotorvehicles ,
astechnical requirements fortheirinstallation areincluded inanother
proposal concerning theinstallation oflighting andthelightsignalling
devices (2).
Inelaborating thisdirective theCommission wasoftheopinionthat,
inordertofacilitate commercial exchange "beyondthebordersoftheCommunity ,
itwasnecessary totakeintoaccountexistinginternational prescriptions
andinparticular thoseoftheUnitednation'sEconomic Commission forEurope(3).
Inthisperspective theCommission hasalsoexaminedthepossibility togive
tothemarksgrantedbythisorganisation thesameeffectsasoftheSECtype
approval mark.Thispossibility hasbeendiscarded assomeMemberStateshave
notratifiedtotheAgreement ofMarch1958oftheUnitedNationsconcerning
theadoption ofuniformconditions ofapproval andreciprocal recognition of
approvalformotorvehicleequipment andparts,inwhichframework theacti­
vitiesoftheEconomic Commission forEuropearecarriedout.Theseparticular
MemberStatescantherefore notdefendtheirinterests duringtheactivities
ofthisorganisation .

byprohibiting theMemberStatesfromopposingtheirmarketing ,,provided they

Article 11contains twodeadlines :before expiry ofthe
first deadline theMember States shall adopt andpublish the
measures necessary inorder tocomply with theDirective .The
second deadline sets the date onwhich all oftheMember States
must simultaneously implement thecommon rules (Article 11(l))•

Whereas common requirements fortheconstruction ofother
lighting andlight signalling devices have been orwill belaid

Member State tocheck compliance with the common construction and
testing requirements and toinform theother Member States ofits
findings bysending acopy ofthecomponent type-approval certificate
completed foreach type ofrear-registrat ion-plate illuminating
device ;whereas theplacing ofanEECtype-approval mark onall
rear-registration -plate illuminating devices manufactured incon­
formity with theapproved type obviates anyneed fortechnical
checks onthese rear-registration -plate illuminating devices inthe
other Member States ;
