(2) Whereas the reasons given in the request, according to which such vehicle types meet the requirements of Annex IV to Directive 70/156/EEC, apart from those relating to fuelling with compressed natural gas are well founded; whereas the fuelling by compressed natural gas of the vehicles covered by this Decision does, however, guarantee a level equivalent to that provided by petrol fuelling; whereas the tests carried out in accordance with Council Directive 70/220/EEC of 20 March 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by gases from spark-ignition engines of motor vehicles(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 98/77/EC(4), and Council Directive 80/1268/EEC of 16 December 1980 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the fuel consumption of motor vehicles(5), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/116/EC(6), were conducted using, in the one instance, natural gas only as fuel and in the other both petrol and natural gas as fuel; whereas the relevant limit values were not exceeded in either fuelling mode, while the recorded emissions of pollutions were lower with natural gas; whereas equivalent environmental protection is thus ensured;
(3) Whereas, in order to assure themselves of the safety of vehicles in service, Member States may periodically carry out leak-tightness tests at a pressure of at least the service pressure;
(4) Whereas the Community Directives concerned will be amended in order to permit the production of vehicles powered by compressed natural gas;
