These Regulations amend the Tractor etc (EC Type-Approval) Regulations 2005 (the “principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations transposed Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together with their systems, components and separate technical units and repealing Directive 74/150/EEC (OJ No L171, 9.7.2003, p. 1). They did this by providing for a system to type approve tractors (and certain other types of vehicle) (“tractor type approval”). In making the amendments these Regulations transpose, in relation to tractor type approval, Council Directive 2006/96/EC of 20 November 2006 adapting certain Directives in the field of free movement of goods, by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania (OJ No L363, 20.12.2006, p. 81). 2006/96/EC amends a number of directives to reflect that Bulgaria and Romania are now Member States.
