Following a Council Decision of 23 September 2005 all new retreaded tyres sold in the EU have to align with the requirements of UNECE Regulations (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) with effect of March 2006. The European Commission expected this step to boost consumer confidence in purchasing retreaded tyres. The regulations introduced similar standards of safety and quality control for retreaded tyres as for new tyres. Retreaded tyres offer significant environmental advantages over new tyres. |
