Abstract

These Regulations amend the Agricultural or Forestry Tractors (Emission of Gaseous and Particulate Pollutants) Regulations 2002 in order to implement Directive 2005/13/EC of the Commission of the European Communities which introduces new limit values which the emissions of particulate pollutants of tractor engines will no longer be allowed to exceed on the first entry into service of the engine. It also requires Member States to introduce a flexibility scheme, under which a limited number of engines that comply only with the emission limit value stage immediately preceding the currently applicable stage may be placed on the market and provides that replacement engines only need to comply with the limit values that applied to the engine they replace when it was first entered into service. The Regulations prohibiting entering into service for the first time relevant engine (not being a replacement engine) unless the engine complies with the limit values for the category to which it belongs.
