COUNCIL DIRECTIVE

of 21 December 1989

amending Directive 86/298/EEC on rear-mounted roll-over protection structures of

narrow-track wheeled agricultural and forestry tractors

(89/682/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas it is necessary to adopt measures with the aim of progressively establishing the internal market over a period expiring on 31 December 1992; whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the

free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured;

Whereas Article 13 of Directive 86/298/EEC (4) lays down that the provisions at present in force shall be supplemented by provisions introducing additional impact tests into the dynamic test procedure;

Whereas, since provision is already made for an additional test in the case of the static test procedure, it is necessary also in that of the dynamic test procedure to provide for an additional test which more accurately reflects the situation in the event of tractor roll-over in order that these two test procedures may be rendered equivalent and the present imbalance between them eliminated;

Whereas the purely theoretical parameters and calculations on which the additional dynamic impact test was initially based have been the subject of practical experiments that leave no doubt as to their reliability;

Whereas it is also necessary to amend the scope of Directive 86/298/EEC so as to clarify the wording of the second indent of Article 1 concerning the tyres fitted to the front and rear axles, and thus eliminate any possibility of differing interpretations,

OJ N° C 256, 9. 10. 1989, p. 77.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Directive 86/298/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
