United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE): approval of vehicles, accession to Regulation No 29

The Committee on International Trade adopted the recommendation by Vital MOREIRA (S&D, PT) on the draft Council decision on the accession of the Union to Regulation No 29 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to the protection of the occupants of the cab of a commercial vehicle.

The Committee recommends the European Parliament to give its consent to the draft Council decision because this UNECE Regulation will allow for the application of the same standards in many countries, taking away red tape and allowing European industry to compete more widely and easily.
