Road vehicles: maximum weights and dimensions (repeal. Directive 83/3/EEC). Codification

The Commission incorporated 5 of the 16 amendments adopted by the European Parliament at first reading and therefore amended its proposal by: - adding a new recital expressing concern for the environment and road safety; - simplifying and extending the definition of an insulated vehicle; - authorizing a longer maximum length for road trains, but only so that simpler couplings can be used.
