Technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating in the Community

The aim of the Commission's proposal is to supplement Directive 96/96/EC that provides for an annual roadworthiness inspection which commercial vehicles must undergo at a testing centre. The Commission considers that the Council's common position, together with Parliament's amendments at second reading, are in line with the aims of its proposals. Consequently, the Commission accepts the modification made to the Council's common position by the Parliament's amendment.�
