Summary
GeneratedThis Commission Proposal amends four existing EU regulations (EC 561/2006, EU 2018/858, EU 2019/2144, EU 2024/1257) to streamline technical requirements and testing procedures for motor vehicles, while repealing Directive 70/157/EEC and Regulation 540/2014. It updates safety standards, including for electricity storage devices, and reduces market supervision and type-approval burdens.
