(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Motor Cycles Etc. (EC Type Approval) Regulations 1999 ("the 1999 Regulations").
Council Directive 93/93/EEC on the masses and dimensions of two or three-wheel motor vehicles (OJ No. L311, 14.12.1993, p.76) is a "separate Directive" listed in Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations which means that it contains standards which must be met before a vehicle subject to type approval requirements can be approved. Directive 93/93/EEC has been amended by Commission Directive 2004/86/EC to clarify and supplement the meaning of "unladen mass". Regulation 2 inserts a reference to Directive 2004/86/EC at the appropriate place in the Table to Schedule 1 to the 1999 Regulations, thereby implementing the amendments to Directive 93/93/EEC for the purposes of EC type approval procedures.
In line with the 1999 Regulations, Directive 2004/86/EC is marked with a * to denote it is a Commission Directive.
This Explanatory Note incorporates the Transposition Note that would otherwise have been provided separately.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
Copies of the EC Directive referred to in these Regulations can be obtained from the Stationery Office.
