lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, ensuring that the vehicles on our roads are as safe as possible and improving EU road safety is, of course, something that is of grave importance. However, I have concerns relating to the proposal to set such common EU-wide minimum standards for vehicle checks in the form of a regulation, rather than a directive. I do welcome the fact that some of the areas of concern within the proposal for periodic roadworthiness tests have been addressed, including the recognition that historical cars should be exempt from this legislation. However, I remain concerned about the proposal to include all light trailers under 3.5 tonnes within the scope of this regulation. These proposals for the testing of light trailers would result in unnecessary burden and costs, in particular for caravan owners in Wales, for farmers who transport a small number of animals locally, and – more generally – for smaller micro-business operators who use trailers to transport goods around Wales frequently. I hope therefore that all small trailers under 3.5 tonnes can be excluded from the scope when this text is returned to plenary."@en1
