EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation)

These Regulations amend the European Communities (Mechanically Propelled Vehicle Entry into Service) Regulation 2007 (

S.I. No. 448 of 2007

) by substituting new schedules for Schedules 1 and 2. The 2007 Regulations outline the requirements to be satisfied in relation to motor vehicle type-approval matters for the first registration of new commercial vehicles in Ireland. Schedules 1 and 2 to these Regulations specify the EU motor vehicle type-approval directives for which certificates of conformity must be available for such a vehicle in order to put it into service in Ireland. These Regulations amend the Schedules by the inclusion of two further directives; Directives 2005/64/EC and 2006/40/EC.
