1. 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

The Community has acceded to UNECE Regulations No. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 
13, 13 H, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, 31, 34, 37, 38, 39, 43, 44, 46, 48, 
55, 58, 61, 66, 67, 73, 77, 79, 80, 87, 89, 90, 91, 93, 94, 95, 97, 98, 99, 102, 105, 107, 
110,  112,  116,  118,  121,  122,  123  and  125  of  the  United  Nations  Economic 
Commission  for  Europe  (UNECE)  for  the  type-approval  of  motor  vehicles,  their 
trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor. 

Directive  2007/46/EC  provides  for  the  possibility  to  apply  UNECE  Regulations  for 
the purpose of EC vehicle type-approval on a compulsory basis. 

Regulation  (EC)  No  661/2009  repeals  several  Directives  concerning  the  type-
approval  of  motor  vehicles,  their  trailers  and  systems,  components  and  separate 
technical units intended therefor. The requirements set out in those Directives should 
be  replaced,  where  appropriate,  with  references  to  the  corresponding  UNECE 
Regulations. 

It is appropriate to incorporate UNECE Regulations No. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 
13 H, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, 31, 34, 37, 38, 39, 43, 44, 46, 48, 55, 
58, 61, 66, 67, 73, 77, 79, 80, 87, 89, 90, 91, 93, 94, 95, 97, 98, 99, 102, 105, 107, 
110,  112,  116,  118,  121,  122,  123  and  125  into  the  approval  system  for  motor 
vehicles  and  thus  to  add  them  to  the  legislation  in  force  within  the  Community, 
following  the  implementation  dates  set  out  in  Article  13  of  Regulation  (EC)  No 
661/2009. 

According  to  Article  4  (2)  of  Regulation  (EC)  No  661/2009  type-approval  in 
accordance with the UNECE Regulations which have been made mandatory shall be 
considered  as  EC  type-approval  in  accordance  with  that  Regulation  and  its 
implementing measures.

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

Type-approvals issued under the UNECE Regulations will be considered as EC type-
approvals,  thus  avoiding  duplication  not  only  in  technical  requirements  but  also  in 
certification  and  administrative  procedures,  to  the  benefit  of  both  industry  and 
national authorities. In addition, type-approval that is directly based on internationally 
agreed  standards  will  improve  market  access  in  third  countries,  in  particular  those 
which  are  contracting  parties  to  the  UNECE  1958  Agreement,  thus  enhancing  EU 
industry’s competitiveness. 

The legal basis of the proposal is Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the 
European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  13  July  2009  concerning  type-approval 
requirements  for  the  general  safety  of  motor  vehicles,  their  trailers  and  systems, 
components and separate technical units intended therefor. 

4. 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATION 

The proposal has no implication for the Community budget. 

5. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

The  proposed  act  concerns  an  EEA  matter  and  should  therefore  extend  to  the 
European Economic Area.
