lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this recommendation invites Parliament to express an opinion in keeping with the Council proposal on technical harmonisation in the automobile sector, by considering it to be an important factor in the development of the global market. The process of harmonisation aims to attain the highest levels of safety and environmental protection and is an important stimulus for quality, with advantages both for industry and for consumers. This recommendation originates from the agreement, concluded in 1958 within the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. This agreement was then broadly amended, and it was extended to States outside the Union. The European Community has thus become part of an amended agreement which now includes Japan. Nevertheless, because of a different certification system, but also for procedural reasons, the United States could not adopt a similar decision. A Parallel Agreement was negotiated to overcome this difficulty, which allows harmonised technical regulations to be adopted, but only unanimously and without the contracting parties being obliged to mutually recognise certificates and permits. In this way, the European Community has taken on an important intermediate function, insofar as it is a contracting party of both of these agreements. The rules laid down by the Parallel Agreement coincide with those in the UNECE agreement, but a specific decision-making procedure is anticipated when a draft regulation is not considered within the framework of the 1958 agreement. In any case, in order to include technical regulations in Community legislation it is still necessary to have a corresponding Commission directive that is adopted by Parliament under the codecision procedure. Parliament’s role is thereby guaranteed and it is anticipated that the Commission will provide Parliament with the draft regulations it wants to implement on a global scale. I will conclude by pointing out that an opinion in keeping with this recommendation would put the European Community in a position to fully support the Parallel Agreement, and confirm its position as a leader in the harmonisation and policies of expanding the markets."@en1
