THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 94/55/EC of 21 November 1994 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by road(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2001/7/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(4) third subparagraph thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The European standards laying down detailed technical specifications relating to the construction, use and conditions of carriage of pressure drums, cylinder racks and tanks for the transport of dangerous goods by road have not yet been added to Annexes A and B to Directive 94/55/EC since standardisation of the CEN on them is not yet complete.
(2) It is therefore necessary to defer the deadlines, fixed in Article 6(4) of Directive 94/55/EC, by which such pressure drums, cylinder racks and tanks must comply with Directive 94/55/EC.
(3) Directive 94/55/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) In order to avoid any legal uncertainty this decision should apply from 1 July 2001,
