1. On 13 September 1989 the Commission sent the Council a proposal1 for a
   Council Directive amending Directive 84/647/EBC on the use of vehicles
   hired without drivers for the carriage of goods by road.2
   The aim of this proposal was to abolish the option open to the Member
   States to:
        exclude own-account carriage from the scope of the Directive; and
        require a minimum hire period.
2. At the part-session of 16 March 1990, Parliament approved the Commission
   proposal, subject to the addition of an Article in which the Commission
   undertakes to propose the abolition of the remaining restrictions on
   hiring commercial vehicles.
3. The arguments in favour of this amendment are set out in the legislative
   Resolution adopted by Parliament.
