Traduction de «voiture de la direction » (Français → Anglais) :

The refusal to register cars with the steering wheel on the right-hand side compels the owners of such cars to carry out the comparatively expensive transfer of the steering equipment and discourages the import of such cars into the Republic of Lithuania.

declare that, by prohibiting the registration of passenger cars whose steering wheel is mounted on the right-hand side and/or requiring prior to registration that a steering wheel mounted on the right-hand side of a new passenger car or of a passenger car previously registered in another Member State be transferred to the left-hand side, the Republic of Lithuania has failed to fulfil its obligations under Council Directive 70/311/EEC (1) of 8 June 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the steering equipment for motor vehicles and their trailers, Directive 2007/46/EC (2) of the European Parliament and of t ...[+++]he Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, and Article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;

1. Where passenger cars are subject to national type approval of small series in accordance with Article 23 of Directive 2007/46/EC or to individual approvals in accordance with Article 24 of that Directive, Member States shall inform the Commission of the respective numbers of such cars registered in their territory.

By restructuring European Union (EU) countries’ systems for taxing passenger cars the proposal for a directive aims to remove fiscal obstacles to the free movement of passenger cars from one EU country to another.

(6) Whereas the presence of labels on used cars at the point of sale could influence buyers of new passenger cars towards low consumption cars, since this characteristic will be taken into account when the car is re-sold; whereas it is therefore appropriate, in connection with the first review of this Directive, to consider enlarging the scope to used cars covered by Commission Directive 93/116/EC of 17 December 1993 adapting to technical progress Council Directive 80/1268/EEC relating to the fuel consumption of motor vehicles(4);

(8) Whereas the Commission has implemented a European programme on air quality, road traffic emissions, fuels and engines technologies (the Auto/Oil Programme) with a view to fulfilling the requirements of Article 4 of Directive 94/12/EC; whereas the Commission has implemented the APHEA Project which estimates the external costs of air pollution by motor vehicles at 0,4 % of EU GNP, and further assessments conclude that the external costs amount to 3 % of EU GNP, whereas the Commission has implemented the 'Car of Tomorrow` Action Plan which strives to contribute to the promotion of the 'Car of Tomorrow` which will be clean, safe, energy ...[+++] efficient and 'intelligent`; whereas this action plan enforces Community action promoting R D leading to clean cars and whereas neither the R D efforts undertaken in the framework of the 'Car of Tomorrow` Action Plan nor EU competitiveness in automobile R D should be jeopardised; whereas the European motor vehicle and oil industries have carried out the European Programme on Emissions, fuels and Engine Technologies (EPEFE) to determine the contribution which can be made both by future vehicles and the fuels which propel them; whereas the Auto/Oil and EPEFE programmes strive to ensure that proposals for Directives on polluting emissions seek the best solutions for both the citizen and for the economy; whereas the need for Community action for the forthcoming Steps 2000 and 2005 has become urgent; whereas it has become apparent that a further improvement of car emission technology is necessary with a view to achieving air quality in the year 2010 as described in the Commission communication on the Auto/Oil Programme;
