I support the report, and I voted in favour of it because in my view it will bring about an improvement in the functioning of the single market. I support the main aims of the report, which are a simplification of the current legal framework and specification of new administrative and technical requirements relating to the environment and safety and to market surveillance, as regards the requirements concerning type approval of category L vehicles. A better classification of vehicles is needed in order to ensure safer and more effective mobility, which will play an important role in the subsequent building of a single market. To achieve this aim, an ambitious but also a precise and simple schedule setting out the stages of market surveillance, tougher emissions levels and mandatory requirements in the sphere of safety will be needed. Thought should also be given to new drive technologies and enabling the type approval of category L vehicles fitted with such technology. In my view, the question of safety in respect of category L vehicles is of particular importance. Studies have shown that it is specifically drivers of vehicles of this category who are significantly more prone to serious accidents. The mandatory use of anti-lock brake systems (ABS) or automatic headlight on (AHO) for all new motorcycles, are elements that would definitely lead to an improvement in the level of safety. I think it is also very important to ensure equal access to information on repairs and maintenance, as well as recognising the variety of SMEs operating in the sector."@en1
