Proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on labelling of tyres with respect to wet grip, fuel efficiency and other essential parameterrolling noise levels
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Tyres are characterised by a number of parameters which are interrelated. Improving one parameter such as rolling resistance may have an adverse impact on other parameters such as wet grip, while improving wet grip may have an adverse impact on external rolling noise. Tyre manufacturers should be encouraged to optimise all parameters, without undercutting safety standards which have already been achieved.

(10) Other tyre parameters, such as aquaplaning or handling in curves, also affect road safety. However, at this stage, harmonised testing methods are not yet available in respect of such parameters. Therefore, it is appropriate to provide for the possibility, at a later stage and if necessary, of laying down provisions on harmonised information to end-users about such tyre parametersAccordingly, no rules on these parameters should be enacted at the present time.

Recital 22
(22) In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to introduce requirements with respect to wet gripthe grading of C2 and C3 tyre classes, to introduce requirements with respect to essential tyre parameters other than as regards fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise and to adapt the Annexes to technical progress. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 1
Article 1
The aim of this Directive is to increase the fuel-efficiency of road transport by promoting fuel-efficient tyres. This Directive establishes a framework for the provision of information on tyre parameters through labellingte a framework for the provision of information on tyre parameters by means of a labelling system permitting consumers to make their tyre selection in a transparent manner.
