Whereas the request submitted by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on 6 November 1997, which reached the Commission on 10 November 1997, contained the information required by Article 8(2)(c) of the said Directive; whereas the request concerns the fuelling with compressed natural gas of a class M1 type of vehicle;
Whereas the reasons given in the said request are well founded; whereas, according to them, such fuelling systems do not meet the requirements of the Directives concerned, in particular 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 (2) 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 (3); whereas, however, the tests performed in accordance with the abovementioned Directives were conducted using both petrol and natural gas as fuel; whereas the relevant limit values were respected with both types of fuel, while recorded emissions of pollutants were lower with natural gas; whereas equivalent environmental protection is thus ensured;

Whereas the Directives concerned will be amended in order to permit the production of vehicles powered by compressed natural gas;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision was submitted on 5 February 1998 to the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Article 12 of Directive 70/156/EEC for its opinion; whereas the outcome of the vote was such that no opinion was delivered,
The request submitted by Luxembourg for an exemption concerning the production and placing on the market of a class M1 type of vehicle powered by compressed natural gas is hereby approved.
This Decision is addressed to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
