BACKGPOUND NOTS
le Gonera.1
Comparative examination ofthe laws ,regulations
and administrative provisions oftheMember States inthe
motorcycle sector hasrevealed certain variations which give
rise totechnical barriers totrade .The removal ofthese
barriers warrants the action laid down inthe "General programs
toeliminate technical barriers to .trade resulting from dispari
ties between thelaws ,regulations andadministrative prevision
oftheMember States ",adopted bytheCouncil on18May1969 (l^
Moreover ,itisstipulated intheCouncil Resolution
of17December 1973 onindustrial policy (£)that this proposal
for aCouncil Directive shall beforwarded before 1January 197
The existing situation intheMember States ,and the
broad lines ofaction taken atCommunity level toremedy the
resultant disadvantages ,aresummarised below .
2•Action proposed atCommunity level .
For thepurposes ofroad safety ,Member States carry
out various checks onmotorcycles .Bymeans ofnational type-
approval procedures inparticular ,they verify whether the
prototype motorcycle and certain motorcycle parts and characte­
ristics actually comply with thenational provisions concerning
the construction and functioning ofthemotorcycle itself and
ofcertain' parts and characteristics ofthevehicle .

(2)OJNoC117 of31December 1973

-2-
3» Thetype-approval procedure ,which isinoperation
inmost oftheMember States ,obliges themanufacturer to
submit tothecompetent ,authorities ,astandard motorcycle
which isfirst off .theproduction line ,accompanied byan
"information document "giving theprincipal characteristics
ofthemotorcycle .Thecompetent authorities then carry out
checks andtests laid down bylawandifthese areconclusive
they issue a"type-approval certificate "tothemanufacturer .
Thelatter completes a"certificate ofconformity "foreach
motorcycle conforming tothetype approved *This certificate
isessential toenable the authorities toattend tothe
registration ofthemotorcycle anditsentry into service .
Since these controls have toberepeated invarious
forms ineach importing Member State ,barriers totrade may
arise .
The action taken bythe Commission aims atremoving these barrier
byintroducing aCommunity type-approval procedure ,theterms
which are set out inthis Directive .IhitsAnnexes ,the
Directive describes the models ofthe documents' which the
manufacturer must supply orwhich thecompetent authorities
must complete .Thecorollary ofthis common procedure isthe
mutual recognition ofchecks .
5* With an"optional "method ofharmonization ,Member States
cankeep theoption ofmaintaining their ownlegal provisions in
force alongside Community-inspired provisions .
This solution which hasalready been proposed andadopted inKm
motor vehicle andwheeled forestry oragricultural tractor
sectors ,mayalso beintroduced inthesector under considerably
since firms operating inanenlarged market 'are able totake
advantage ofeconomies ofscale which offset anyadvantages Kklcb
other firms ,operating ,in3.purety domestic market ,'may gain h*
adhesing tocurrently less stringent national standards .

6. Theinterested parties ,namely theusers andmanufacturer
wereconsulted ateach stage ofthe elaboration ofthe directive
and theCommission 'sdepartments have taken into account ,asfar
aspossible ,their suggestions andremarks .
7• Outline ofand comments onthe proposal for g.directive
The implementation ofaCommunity type-approval system
entails drafting ageneral Directive todefine theEEC type-
approval procedure itself .
These comments therefore concern theproposal foradirective on
theapproximation oftholaW3 .oftheMember States relating toth
EECtype-approval ofmotorcycles .
The field ofapplication covers theCommunity motorcycle
that istosay avehicle with two orthree wheels fitted with a
combustion engine with acylinder capacity not exceeding 50cc,v
maximum design speed ofwhich does notexceed km/h.Forthrse
wheeled vehicles ,the -weight unladen must not eocoeed 400 -kg*
The Commission has adopted this definition inth©
that theparameters chosen are themost suitable forthis type ol
vehicle .For two-wheeled motorcycles ,theminimum speed and
cylinder capacity requirement alone enables awhole range of
vehicles tobeconsidered detailed safety requirements forwhich
aretobelaid down inspecial provisions (forbraking ,etc.).
Outside this range there arevehicles ofaquite different kind .?
inrespect ofwhich theCommission has already presented aproper
foradirective onthetype-approval of .mopeds ^1!TheCommission
considers that itwas not advisable systematically todefine thea ?
twocategories ofvehicle inrelation toeach other ,inview of
the differences intheir characteristics andmarket penetration
potential .Accordingly ,thelower weight limit of250kgwas no-
introduced ,astheCommission believed itwasnot' adrisable >ts
exclude Certain types ofleighter vehicles which might notmeet .-
all thenecessary safety requirements .

PROPOSAL FOR ACOUNCIL DIRECTIVE ONTHE
APPROXIMATION OFTHE LAW ,3OFTHE MEMBER STATES RELATING
TOTHE TYPE-APPROVAL 0?MOTORCYCLES
THE COUNCIL OFTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
TotheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community and in
particular Article 100 thereof ;
Tatheproposai from theCommission ;
TotheOpinion oftheEuropean Parliament ;
TotheOpinion oftheEconomic andSocial Committee ;
Ineach Member State ,motorcycles must have certain characteristics
which comply with mandatory technical requirements ;whereas such
requirements differ from oneMember State toanother andconsequently
hinder trade within theEuropean Economic Community ;
Such barriers tothe establishment and functioning ofacommon market
can bereduced and even eliminated ifallMember States adopt the
same requirements ,either inaddition toorinplace oftheir existing
laws ;
Itistheestablished practice oftheMember States tocheck that
motorcycles comply with therelevant technical requirements before
they areplaced onthemarket ;whereaa this' check iscarried outon
motorcycle types ;
Theharmonized technical requirements applicable toindividual parts and
characteristics ofamotorcycle should bedefined inspecial directives ;

-2-
AtCommunity level itisnecessary tointroduce aCommunity
type-approval procedure inorder that compliance with these
requirements canbechecked andthat each Member State recognizes
checks carried outbyother Member States ;
This procedure should enable each Member State toascertain
whether amotorcycle type hasbeen subjected tothe .checks laid
down bythespecial directives andlisted inatype-approval
certificate ;whereas this procedure should enable manufacturers
tocomplete acertificate ofconformity forallmotorcycles which
conform toanapproved type ;whereas amotorcycle accompanied by
such acertificate should beconsidered byallMember States as
conforming totheir own laws ;whereas each Member State should
inform theother Member States ofits findings bysending acopy
ofthetype-approval certificate completed foreach motorcyle type
approved ;
Itmust bepossible togrant type-approval onthebasis ofCommunit ;
requirements asandwhen thespecial directives relating tothe
various motorcycle parts andcharacteristics enter into force ,
national requirements remaining applicable inrespect ofparts
and characteristics still not covered bysuch directives ;
Amotorcycle may conform toanapproved type butnevertheless have
certain features which arepotential road safety hazards ;whereas
itistherefore advisable tolay down anappropriate procedure to
preclude such hazards ;
\

Technical progress could make itnecessary tocarry outrapid
adjustments totheAnnexes ofthis Directive and tothe technical
requirements defined inseparate directives ;andwhereas ,in
order tofacilitate the implementation ofmeasures required for
this purpose ,aprocedure should belaid down forestablishing
close cooperation between theMember States and theCommission
within theCommittee setup -bytheCouncil Directive 70/156/CEE
of6February 1970 concerning theapproximation oflaws ofthe
Member States relating tothetype-approval ofmotor vehicles
andtheir trailers (l).

1)Theheight from thecontact area ofthefront tyre tothe
uppermost part oftheheadlamp body .
2)Theheight from thecontact area ofthefront tyre andthe
highest point ofthehandlebar atmaximum deflection
(handlebar fittings such asrear-view mirrors arenottaken
into account ).
3)Theheight from thecontact area oftherear tyre andthe
highest point ofitsmudguard .
For three-wheeled vehicles theheights are asfollows :
1)Height from thecontact area ofthe front tyre tothe
uppermost part oftheheadlamp body .
2)Height from thecontact area ofthefront tyre tothe
highest point ofthehandlebar atmaximum deflection ,
(handlebar fittings such asrear-view mirrors etc..are
nottaken into account ).
3)Height from thecontact area ofthewheels andthehighest
point ofthe vehicle .
