Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, to improve road safety, to adapt the relevant legislation to technological developments and changing market needs and to facilitate intermodal transport operations, while ensuring undistorted competition, something Regulation (EC) No 1072/2009 has failed to do, and protecting the road infrastructure, must be emphasised.
Amendment 6 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) In order to ensure undistorted competition between operators and to improve the detection of infringements, Member States should, by …6 , take specific measures to identify vehicles or vehicle combinations in circulation that are likely to have exceeded the relevant weight limits and should therefore be checked. Such identification may be carried out by means of weighing mechanisms built into the road infrastructure, or by means of on- board sensors in vehicles that communicate data remotely to the relevant authorities. Such on-board data shall be made available also to the driver. Every year each Member State should perform an appropriate number of vehicle weight checks. The number of such checks shouldall be proportionate to the total number of vehicles inspected each year in the Member State concerned. __________________ 6+ OJ: Please, insert the date: six years from the entry into force of this amending Directive.
Amendment 8 #

Article 8b – paragraph 2a (new)
2a. The devices referred to in paragraph 1 shall meet the following operational conditions: (a) in circumstances where the safety of other road users or of the driver is at risk, those devices shall be folded, retracted or removed by the driver; (b) their use on urban and inter urban road infrastructures shall take into account the special characteristics of areas where the allowed maximum speed limit does not exceed 50 km/h and where more vulnerable road users are more likely to be present; and (c) the use of those devices shall be compatible with intermodal transport operations. In particular, when retracted or folded, those devices shall not increase the maximum authorised length by more than 20 cm. (d) the devices should be safe and practical for the driver.
