(9) Whereas reductions in emission limits applicable from the year 2000 corresponding to abatements of 30 % in emissions of carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons, NOx and particulate matter have been identified by the Auto-oil programme as key measures to achieving satisfactory medium-term air quality; whereas a reduction of 30 % in exhaust smoke opacity over that measured on current engine types and complementing Council Directive 72/306/EEC(11) will contribute to the reduction of particulate matter; whereas additional reductions in emission limits applicable from 2005 of 30 ...[+++] % carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons and NOx and 80 % in particulates will greatly contribute to medium-term air quality benefits; whereas these reductions will take into account the effect on emissions of new test cycles that better represent the driving patterns experienced by in-service vehicles; whereas the additional NOx limit applicable from 2008 will result in a further 43 % reduction in the emission limit for this pollutant; whereas, no later than the end of 2002, the Commission is to consider the available technology with a view to confirming the mandatory NOx standard for 2008 in a report to the European Parliament and the Council, accompanied, if necessary, by appropriate proposals;

It should be noted that the Directive in force on exhaust gases (91/441/EEC), adopted by the Council in June 1991 and aiming at an 85/90% reduction in emissions on the initial 1970 level, guarantees one of the lowest levels in the world for noxious emissions from new vehicles placed on the Community market. The prospects for growth in road traffic over the next few years prompted the Commission to provide in this proposal for a further reduction averaging 35% in permitted vehicle emission levels for regulated pollutants/carbon monoxide nitrogen oxides and unburnt hydrocarbons and particulates) (1) The Netherlands Environment Minister did ...[+++] not support this Directive, because the Netherlands government wants to use tax incentives to promote more stringent standards (2) Vehicles in Category M1 (vehicles intended for transporting a maximum of 9 persons, including the driver) or Category N1 (vehicles intended for transport of goods, of less than 3,5 tonnes in weight).

2.2.mechanical aspects with a bearing on road safety; they must be able to detect the most common faults, in particular in the steering, suspension and brake systems, tyres, lights and direction indicators, reflectors, rear-view mirrors, windscreen and wipers, the exhaust system and seat-belts;

2.3.4. the pipe conducting the exhaust gases must include a corrosion test zone at least 30 mm long ; this zone must be situated directly downstream of the heat exchanger. It must remain uncovered and be easily accessible; 2.3.4.1. the wall of this zone must not be thicker than the pipes for the exhaust gases situated inside the heat exchanger and the materials and surface properties of this section must be comparable with those of these pipes;
