To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of European Union proposals for the introduction of a roadworthiness test for caravans, and in particular the practicality of establishing test centres across the United Kingdom and the potential cost to caravan owners.[HL1340]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of European Union proposals for the introduction of a roadworthiness test for caravans, and in particular the practicality of establishing test centres across the United Kingdom and the potential cost to caravan owners.[HL1340]
In May, the Transport and Tourism (TRAN) Committee of MEPs has proposed an amendment to the Commission's proposals on roadworthiness which would have the requirement to see caravans tested separately. Previously, proposals for testing small trailers (including caravans) had been rejected by Member States at the December Transport Council. The Government's intention is to continue to oppose such a measure. We do not yet have a developed assessment of the costs and benefits of this specific measure but we estimate that it could require around 200,000 tests on caravans per year.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Statement by Earl Attlee on 5 November (WS 74), what is the current state of negotiations on the proposed European Union directive on roadworthiness testing for motor vehicles and their trailers.[HL3161]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Statement by Earl Attlee on 5 November (WS 74), what is the current state of negotiations on the proposed European Union directive on roadworthiness testing for motor vehicles and their trailers.[HL3161]
Only the draft regulation on periodic technical inspection has been discussed so far. On 1 November the Cypriot presidency produced a revised text proposing to change the regulation to a directive. This revision has addressed some of the issues raised by member states and will be considered at further working group meetings. The Government will continue to challenge those provisions that imply unmerited costs.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the proposals by the European Commission to harmonise European Union roadworthiness regulations; and what effect these proposals will have on the ownership of classic and vintage cars in the United Kingdom.[HL2996]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the proposals by the European Commission to harmonise European Union roadworthiness regulations; and what effect these proposals will have on the ownership of classic and vintage cars in the United Kingdom.[HL2996]
An initial assessment has been made on the proposal which suggests potential significant costs to the UK. At the recent Transport Council the Government intervened and expressed serious concerns about the proposal, which will remove the requirement to have an annual roadworthiness test for vehicles over 30 years old and of historic interest, while limiting allowable modifications. The Government will continue to challenge those provisions that imply unmerited costs.
