"Mr President, these proposals have created great concern in my constituency in the east of England. They cover powered two- and three-wheelers, light trailers, tractors and older cars. It does seem to be a case of just trying to harmonise because of a political super-state, rather than because of any real need, value or urgency. If you take motorcycles in particular, EU studies actually find that less than 1% of motorcycle crashes are directly caused by defects, so this proposal really is not needed. Parliament’s own Committee on Transport and Tourism and the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection have rejected these proposals. I feel that this proposal is completely disproportionate to any problems it claims to solve. It goes against subsidiarity, which should enable national measures for national road safety priorities, and it really does seem to be another case of looking for a solution to a problem that does not exist, and merely increases cost and bureaucracy."@en1
