      1 . The Community type-approval procedure for motor vehicles and their
          trailers , which was the subject of the Council Directive of 6 February
          1^70 j includes the heading of lighting and light signalling devices .
          Under this heading there is scope for one or more directives defining
          the technical requirements and testing methods with which the design
           and installation of the various lighting and light signalling devices
          of motor vehicles must comply when EEC approval of the devices them­
          selves or EEC type-approval of the vehicle is requested .
                          2
    ■ 2 . On 16 July 1960 , the Commission forwarded to the Counoil a proposal
          fcr a directive 011 the lighting and light signalling devices of motor
          vehicles and their trailers , but the Council was unable to begin its
          examination of the proposal until 1971 •     The Council Working Party for
          Economic Affairs then found that the Commission's proposal would have
          to be brought up to date ;  it therefore decided to suspend its study of
          the document until the Commission sent the Council an amendment to its
          original proposal or a new proposal .
      3 . The appropriate departments of the Commission accordingly set about this
          task with the assistance of experts , notably those of the Working Party
          for the Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade ( Motor Vehicles ).
          The work gave rise to such substantial amendments to the original
          proposal , partly owing to technical progress and partly to the outcome
   OJ Ho . L 42 j 23 February 1970
2 OJ No . C 125 , 28 Fovember 1953
 ---pagebreak--- of parallel discussions in other international institutions that the
                                   Commission felt it was advisable to
present a new proposal , a complete recasting of the original proposal
having "become necessary .    In addition , for a more organic arrangement
of the directive concerning the installation of lighting and light
signalling devices , it was deemed appropriate to insert here regulations
 relating to the installation of direction indicator light .
Moreover , this fusion had been envisaged in the co-arse of discussions
within the framework of the Council , inhere this proposal had already met
with wide agreement .  Slight modifications have been introduced in the
meantime , taking into consideration the most recent technical developments
The new proposed directive , presented here , concerns the requirements for
the installation of lighting and light signalling devices on motor vehicle
other proposals for directives will be drafted for the design specif icatio
of each lighting and light signalling device .
11 . SPECIFIC pOiaEOTS PIT THJi] PROPOSED DIRECT IVE
Article 1 defines the field of application of the Directive : it covers
motor vehicles with at least four wheels and a maximum design speed
exceeding 25 km/hr , with the exception of vehicles which run on rails ,
tractors , agricultural machinery and public works machinery .
Article 2 incorporates , in the EHC type-approval procedure , the mandatory
or optional recfuirements for the installation of lighting and light
signalling devices , as listed under 1.5*7 "to 1.5«20 of Annex 1 .
Article 3 is a special article introduced to ensure that vehicles
satisfying the requirements of the directive may be used in certain new
Member States with no existing national type-approval procedure .
Article 4 reflects a concern for safety:      it provides that changes mads
in certain components or characteristics of a vehicle type may necessitate
a new check and , whore necessary , a new vehicle report . Annerc I gives
 ---pagebreak--- a list of the components or particulars which affect the installation
of lighting and light signalling devices .
Article 5 provides for the adaptation of the requirements in the Annexes
to technical progress ;   the procedure is set out in Article 13 of the
Council Directive of 6 February 1970 concerning type-approval of motor
vehicles and their trailers .
Article 6 sets two time-limits .    By the first time-limit the Ifember
States must have adopted and published the necessary measures to comply
with the Directive ;    they may do this at any moment during the inter­
vening period .   The second time-limit is the date on which all the Member
States must simultaneously enforce the common rules .
The Commission considers that the nevr wording of the final Article ,
common to the various proposals , should make it easier to incorporate
Community specifications into the municipal lav: of the Member States .
Finally , Article 5 provides for the notification to the Commission, within
a reasonable space of time , of all draft provisions drawn up by the Member
States in the field covered by the Directive , in order to enable the
Commission to comment thereon, if necessary .
The technical annexes comprise several definitions , the timing for the
procedure of applying for EEC type-approval ,   general and particular
specifications for the installation of the various lighting and light
signalling devices on the vehicle , and the model approval certificate
for a vehicle type in respect of its lighting and light signalling
devices .
The long and arduous discussions in the Working Party on Motor Vehicles ,
which is assisting the appropriate departments of the Commission in
drafting the proposed directives , did not prevent broad agreement being
reached betiveen the experts of the Ifember States : some points have not
 ---pagebreak---                                    -4~
been settled , however , and certain experts have expressed distinct
reservations on them.      The appropriate departments of the Commission
have none the less presented solutions which take account "both of the
everts * opinions and of the objectives the Directive sets out to reach ,
namely the removal of barriers to trade while respecting road safety-
standards .
It is , however , appropriate to mention these disputed points , together
with reservations expressed on the proposed solutions .
1 . The British experts proposed that , from a given date , one criterion
    for ESC type-approval of a vehicle should be double light intensity for
    stop lights and direction indicators .    They considered that this system ,
    designed to improve signal visibility in daylight without increasing
    dazzle at night , should be adopted for safety reasons .
    A regulation imposing double light intensity for these devices in the
    United Kingdom had already been prepared .    The date for bringing the
    rule into force was originally set at 1 July 1973 ; but had been post­
    poned once until 1 January 1974 and then sine die at the Commission's
    request , in the hope that the other Member States could be convinced
    of the utility and necessity of this new regulation.
    The experts of the other Member States , while recognizing that the
    system could favour greater road traffic safety , opposed its compulsory
    introduction since it was not yet entirely ready for industrial produc­
    tion .    The problems still outstanding include the following :
    ( a ) the extra time-lag in the functioning of the stop lights at night ,
 ---pagebreak---       time-lag' which corresponds to a travelling distance which could
      "be fatal ;
( b ) an increase in intensity of only 2C$ does not justify their
      inclusion, in view of the response time of these devices ;
( c ) sufficient proof does not seem to have "been produced of the
      positive advantages , including the cost effectiveness , of these
      devices ;
( d) the fitting of the vehicle -hazard warning light could create
      difficulties .
The Commission considered that the use , for stop lights and direction
indicators , of double light intensity devices could "be of considerable
value as regards road safety once the above problems had been solved .
The Commission would then propose the necessary amendments to the
Directive by the most suitable procedures .
Two colours had been proposed for the main-beam headlights and the
dipped-beam headlights , white and selective yellow , the choice being
left to the user .     The French experts expressed a strong reserva­
tion re-arcling the fact that the choice of colour was left to the user .
They considered that the importing State should have the choice and
should be free to allow the tv/o colours or to prohibit one of them.
It was not possible to accept this suggestion, as it would have been
a classic example of a barrier to trade in motor vehicles .
Prance is at present the only Community country which lays down
selective yellow as the only colour for main-beam headlights and
dipped-beam headlights .
In view of the fact that neither of the colours had a distinct
advantage over the other , as white gave greater visibility but was
 ---pagebreak---                           –G–
 more liable to danzle the drivers of oncoming vehicles , and
 selective yellow created less dazzle "but reduced the driver 's
visibility , the Commission had decided to authorize the two
colours and leave the choice to the user .
The Italian and Danish experts expressed re nervations regarding
the alignment of the dipped-beam headlights , and particularly
the specification concerning the vertical alignment of the dipped
beam, which must remain between 0.5/j and 2 ,   without manual
adjustment , the initial vertical alignment being 1.5^ in "the
"unladen vehicle " state with one person in the driving seat :
the Italian delegation's reservation concerned the t.'hole
specification , and that of the Danish delegation , the initial
vertical alignment of lo5^«
The Italian everts expressed a reservation regarding the
height above the ground of all the rear lights , fixed at
a minimm of 350 n® ! as they considered that the minimum
should be 400 mm .
The Commission proposed that the vehicle-hazard warning light
should be made compulsory , in order to increase read safety :
the Italians expressed a reservation on this .
The Commission proposed that the rear fog light should bo made
compulsory , in order to increase road safety :  the Italian and
British experts expressed a reservation .
The French experts expressed a reservation regarding the proposca

         specification that the distance "betxireen the rear fog light and the
         stop light should in all cases exceed 100 mm.

of motor vehicles and their trailers may "be applied in respect of each
type of vehicle ;^
Whereas common requirements on the construction of lighting and light
signalling devices will "be the subject of further special directives ;
Whereas the approximation of the laws of tfember States relating to motor
vehicles, includes mutual recognition of the inspections carried out by
each of them on the basis of common provisions ;    whereas if such a system
is to function successfully , these provisions must be applied by ally>
Member States from the same date ;
