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

Although the Commission regrets the extension of the proposed transition period the Commission supports the Council's Common Position in order to avoid any further delay with regard to the coming into force of the directive. The Commission made the following declaration in the Council: The Commission regrets that the transition period of 36 months prior to the mandatory application of the requirements relating to the type-approval of mirrors and supplementary devices for indirect vision does not cover all categories of new vehicles and components and that a transitional period of 72 months was chosen by the Council for passenger cars, light vans and their components.�
