Recreational craft industry: exhaust and noise emissions from boat engines (amend. Directive 94/25/EC)

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Martin CALLANAN (EPP-ED, United Kingdom) on recreational craft. (Please refer to the document dated 10/09/02.) Parliament also inserted a clause to the effect that, in the context of in-use compliance testing, Member States' competent authorities may, in the case of justified suspicion, inspect a representative proportion of craft place on the market to verify whether emission limit values are being complied with. Such in-use compliance testing will be free of charge.�
