Transport of dangerous goods by road: uniform procedures for checks

The Commission has included seven amendments by the European Parliament and amended its proposal as follows: - a new recital has been added, justifying the need for the Member States to notify the Commission of the application of control arrangements; - account has been taken of companies which temporarily store dangerous goods as part of a haulage operation and which therefore need to be inspected; - the circumstances in which a vehicle may be immobilized have been specified; - the date of entry into force of the directive has been postponed from 1 January 1995 to 1 January 1996; - an entry concerning the state of the vehicle, which must comply with marginalis 10282 of the ADR has been added to the check list (annex 1).�
