On 6 April 2016, the Netherlands presidency of the Council of the European Union reached a provisional agreement with European Parliament representatives on a draft regulation setting new requirements to grant EU type-approval aimed at reducing pollutant emissions of engines installed in non-road mobile machinery. The regulation sought to ensure the good functioning of the internal market and to strengthen market surveillance while protecting human health and the environment. It also addressed competitiveness and compliance aspects, with the aim of removing obstacles to external trade by reducing the regulatory barriers that result from diverging emission requirements. |
