of 21 February 2005
amending Directive 2000/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants by engines intended to power agricultural or forestry tractors, and amending Annex I to Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors
(Text with EEA relevance) (repealed)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
Annexes I and II to Directive 2000/25/EC need to be adapted, notably to take account of the introduction by Directive 97/68/EC as amended by Directive 2004/26/EC of new emission limits for combined emission of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. Other changes should be introduced in those annexes to ensure consistency between the provisions on information documents laid down in Directives 2000/25/EC, 97/68/EC and 2003/37/EC. In addition, Annex III to Directive 2000/25/EC needs to be adapted in order to add the alternative type-approvals to be recognised for the new stages III A, III B and IV.
It is also necessary to adapt Annex I to Directive 2003/37/EC in order to ensure consistency between the provisions on information documents laid down in Directives 2000/25/EC, 97/68/EC and 2003/37/EC. In particular, discrepancies in terminology should be eliminated in the interests of clarity.
Directives 2000/25/EC and 2003/37/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/37/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
