Brussels (Belgium) | 19 September 2023
The European motorcycle manufacturers stress their main concerns on the report presented yesterday at the TRAN Committee by MEP Karima Delli for L-category vehicles (mopeds, motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles).
Considering the specificities of the sector across Europe, the initial proposal from the European Commission provides a more effective approach on safety and mobility. The document properly matches diverse realities and ensures inclusiveness for all citizens especially in urban areas. It also allows Member States to select the most appropriate licensing system to their national contexts and specific needs.
Ahead of the coming legislative discussions, ACEM urges the co-legislators to align to the EC proposal regarding:
- Maintaining age requirements
- Preserving the flexibility of MS in regulating access to the different L-category vehicles
- Refraining from the concept of setting speed limits in traffic for different license categories
