COMMISSION OPINION of 28 July 1983 addressed to the Danish Government on the derogations to be granted to certain vehicles pursuant to Article 14a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 and Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70 (Only the Danish text is authentic) (83/385/EEC)    1. By letters No 3.37311-8 of 2 September and 15 December 1982 from the Ministry of Labour the Danish Government submitted to the Commission, for opinion, pursuant to      - the provisions of Article 14a (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 of 25 March 1969 on the harmonization of certain social legislation relating to road transport (1), and           - Article 3 (2) Council Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70 of 20 July 1970 on the introduction of recording equipment in road transport (2);    a list of derogations which it proposes to grant to the following users and national transport operations:      - local use of vehicles which are constructed and equipped to carry not more than 15 persons including the driver (Regulation (EEC) No 543/69, Article 14a (2) (a) ; and Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70, Article 3 (2));           - use of vehicles undergoing local road tests for purposes of repair or maintenance (Regulation (EEC) No 543/69, Article 14a (2) (b) ; and Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70, Article 3 (2));           - transport of animal carcases or waste not intended for human consumption (Regulation (EEC) No 543/69, Article 14a (2) (c) and Regulation (EEC) No 1463/70, Article 3 (2)).         2. The Commission has taken note of the fact that, since these transport operations normally take place over very short distances, they entail only limited driving periods for the drivers.       3. Furthermore the number of vehicles that will be covered by the derogation from the application of Regulations (EEC) No 543/69 and (EEC) No 1463/70 is limited.       4. Moreover the derogations to which the consultation relates are concerned only with movements of vehicles used in Danish territory.       5. Consequently the Commission hereby delivers - with the exception of the cases mentioned in paragraph 6 below - a favourable opinion on the application from the Danish Government.       6. As to the proposed derogations for vehicles being driven at the time of a vehicle test or in connection with registration, and for vehicles operated on special temporary plates, the Commission draws the attention of the Danish Government to the fact that there is no provision for these cases in Article 14a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 543/69.  Consequently the Commission is of the opinion that Regulation (EEC) No 543/69 as it now stands does not permit a derogation to be granted for these categories of transport operation.
