Highlights - Approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles: vote in Plenary - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

Parliament voted on the provisional interinstitutional agreement on the proposed legislation on approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers during its plenary sittings of 19.04.18. The new regulation on how cars are approved to go on the road and checked afterwards clarifies the responsibilities of national type approval authorities, testing centres and market surveillance bodies, in order to make them more independent and prevent conflicts of interest.
