Road safety: mirrors, systems for indirect vision on vehicles (amend. Directive 70/156/EEC, repeal. Directive 71/127/EEC)

The committee adopted the report by its chairman, Giuseppe GARGANI (EPP-ED, I), approving the Council's common position under the 2nd reading of the codecision procedure, subject to just one amendment. It wanted to allow time for coordinating the provisions for light vehicles (M1 and N1 category) with the provisions to be agreed in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). The amendment therefore stipulated that, in the event that UNECE reaches agreement on provisions for such vehicles within 2 years of the directive's entry into force, the relevant provisions of the directive shall cease to have effect and the Commission shall propose further legislation on the basis of the UNECE provisions.�
