The proposed directive on the type approval of certain components and systems of two or three wheel motor vehicles forms part of the EC motor vehicle type approval system, the aim of which is to achieve harmonisation of manufacturing-saftey standard requirements for two or three wheel vehicles throughout the Community. These vehicles are not manufactured in Ireland nor are the components or systems referred to in the proposed directive. Accordingly, it does not have industrial implications for Ireland. However, motorcycle users here will be affected to the extent that new motorcycles will have to comply with the provisions of the directive.
