United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) 'Revised 1958 Agreement': uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts, and conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals; Revision 3

The European Parliament adopted by 589 votes to 46, with 11 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the draft Council decision on the conclusion of Revision 3 of the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for the reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions.

In line with the recommendation made by the Committee on International Trade, Parliament gave its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement.

To recall, the Revised 1958 Agreement of the UNECE concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for the reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions entered into force in 1995. It is now necessary to approve the amendments to the Revised 1958 Agreement and amend the Agreement accordingly.
