COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE
of 17 September 1990
amending Directive 84/529/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electrically operated lifts
(90/486/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Council Directive 84/529/EEC (4), as amended by Commission Directive 86/312/EEC (5), may be applied, mutatis mutandis, to hydraulically or electro-hydraulically operated lifts;
Whereas the standard EN 81-1 on which Directive 84/529/EEC is based has been supplemented since that Directive was published by a second part, EN 81-2, which relates to hydraulic and oil lifts;
Whereas the scope of Directive 84/529/EEC should be extended as a matter of urgency since manufacturers face significant technical barriers to intra-Community trade which threaten to distort the market;
Whereas measures must be adopted aimed at progressively establishing the internal market over a period expiring on 31 December 1992,
