EU Transport Committee has recommended exemption of motor-cycles from roadworthiness tests across Europe but to include caravans

Friday, June 28th, 2013

Plans to introduce EU minimum standards for roadworthiness tests on motorcycles and trailers under 2,000 kg were rejected by the Transport and Tourism Committee on Thursday. These plans are part of the EU “roadworthiness package”, which would lay down minimum EU standards on testing frequency, a risk-based system for roadside inspections of commercial vehicles and rules for suspending or cancelling registration certificates. The package still has to be approved by Parliament as a whole.
