Abstract

This Directive aims at reducing the level of pollutant emissions from two or three-wheel motor vehicles by tightening the limit values for such emissions. From 1 April 2003, Member States shall refuse to grant the EC type-approval as per article 4 (1) of Directive 92/61/EEC for any kind of vehicle on grounds connected with the measures to be taken against air pollution, if that vehicle fails to comply with the provisions laid down in Directive 97/24/EC. Member States may provide for tax incentives only in respect of vehicles complying with the requirements established by Directive 97/24/EC. Chapter 5 of that Directive, fixing limit values for pollutants, is amended in accordance with the Annex to the present Directive.
