Amendment 6

Proposal for a directive

Recital 1211

Or. en

Justification

Odometer fraud is most commonly present in M1 and N1 vehicles. Therefore, the measure should primarily address these vehicle categories. The proposed wording by the Commission risks creating unwanted bureaucratic burdens as even small maintenance tasks such as the replacement of windshield wipers could be covered. This would increase the labour hours connected to the tasks and thus increase the costs for vehicle owners.

Amendment 7

Proposal for a directive

Recital 13 a (new)

Recital 12

Or. en

Justification

New recital that builds up on the introductory remarks of Annex I, making clear that vehicles only have to comply to the requirements of their type-approval.

Amendment 9

Proposal for a directive

Recital 1513 a (new)

Or. en

Justification

OEMs face difficulties in some Member States in reaching the current owners of vehicles due to incomplete or inaccurate contact information. In addition, vehicle owners often fail to act on recall notifications, which is particularly problematic in the case of mandatory safety recalls. While in some Member States failure to comply with a recall may affect vehicle registration, this is not universally the case. To enhance road safety, periodic roadworthiness tests should be used as an additional mechanism to ensure that a greater proportion of vehicles undergo mandatory recall campaigns.

Amendment 10

Proposal for a directive

Recital 1614

Or. en

Justification

The inspection standards in the Member States vary significantly. The proposed shortening would represent a substantial additional burden for owners of vehicles older than 10 years, many of whom come from more vulnerable socio-economic backgrounds. Moreover, the Commission itself notes in its impact assessment that technical defects are only rarely the cause of accidents. Member States can already shorten their inspection intervals today, for example to respond to higher accident rates. However, even in such cases, the causal link between more frequent inspections and a reduction in accident causes remains doubtful. The proposed measure is therefore not proportionate and should be deleted.

Amendment 11

Proposal for a directive

Recital 17

Recital 14 a (new)

Or. en

Justification

N1 vehicles are typically used by SMEs. Requiring these SMEs to take their vans out of service every year imposes a significant administrative and financial burden. Moreover, type-approval legislation already guarantees that emission control systems fulfil minimum durability criteria. In addition, the on-board diagnostics systems inform about any malfunction. The Commission itself acknowledges that there is little information available on the share of vehicles with defective or tampered emission control systems. The proportionality of the proposed measure is, therefore, not given.

Amendment 12

Proposal for a directive

Recital 2115

Or. en

Justification

Addition to ensure that the existing flexibility that allows rectification and testing either in the Member State that initiated the suspension or in the Member State of registration remains. A new roadworthiness certificate should be issued without undue delay once the deficiencies have been corrected.

Amendment 13

Proposal for a directive

Recital 22

Recital 15 a (new)

Amendment 15

Proposal for a directive

Recital 2716

Or. en

Justification

The inclusion of N1 vehicles in the scope of Regulation 2014/47/EU is a welcomed step. However, given the different national circumstances such as control capacities, the Member States should determine the scope of the target that they have to fulfil. Where a Member State makes uses of more frequent testing (e.g. annually), that Member State should have the possibility to exclude N1 vehicles from roadside inspections.

Amendment 16

Proposal for a directive

Recital 2817

Or. en

Justification

While remote sensing holds substantial long-term potential to improve the identification of high-emitting vehicles and to enable more targeted and efficient enforcement, the technology is not yet sufficiently mature to warrant mandatory application across all Member States. At this stage, its feasibility, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness still need to be demonstrated in operational conditions. Therefore, remote sensing should be an optional tool for Member States. However, they should be encouraged to undertake pilot projects to gather practical experience and to contribute to the evidence base needed for future harmonisation. The Commission, in the meantime, should develop delegated acts to establish common criteria. This approach ensures that the Union can advance towards a coherent remote sensing framework without imposing disproportionate obligations before the technology is fully validated.

Frequent and thorough roadside checks are the best possibility to catch offenders. Therefore, Member States should ensure that competent authorities are equipped to do the task given to them.

Amendment 19

Or. en

Amendment 30

Justification

Requiring regular technical inspections for motor scooters with an engine capacity above 50 cm³ is essential for road safety and environmental protection. These vehicles reach higher speeds and are more powerful than smaller mopeds, which increases the risk of accidents if brakes, lights, tyres, or other safety-critical components are not properly maintained. Regular inspections will help protect riders, other road users, and the environment alike.

Amendment 36

Justification

Free of charge access to information necessary for the performance of roadworthiness test is important in order to not increase further the costs of roadworthiness test. However, as this provision confers a financial and bureaucratic burden on vehicle manufacturers, the Commission should check the necessity of information items regularly and whether they are used or not. If information is not used, it should also not be provided by vehicle manufacturers.

Amendment 42

Justification

1) Due to their batteries, modern zero-emission vehicles tend to be heavier than their fossil counterparts in the categories M1 and N1. Therefore, they would risk to fall into the stricter testing regime of M2 or N2.2). The inspection standards in the Member States vary significantly. The proposed shortening would represent a substantial additional burden for owners of vehicles older than 10 years, many of whom come from more vulnerable socio-economic backgrounds. Moreover, the Commission itself notes in its impact assessment that technical defects are only rarely the cause of accidents. Member States can already shorten their inspection intervals today, for example to respond to higher accident rates.

Amendment 47

Justification

Test methods and equipment must keep pace with technological developments to ensure inspections remain accurate, reliable, and relevant. Up-to-date procedures help detect genuine safety defects while avoiding false positives, preserve the road safety benefits of periodic inspections, and maintain proportionality and credibility by preventing unnecessary burdens on vehicle owners. Regular updates also support harmonization with international best practices and foster continuous improvement, enabling the controlled adoption of validated new technologies such as advanced diagnostics and cybersecurity assessments.
