COM(2008) 100 final — 2008/0044 (COD)

(2008/C 224/14)

On 16 April 2008, the Council of the European Union decided to consult the European Economic and Social Committee, under Article 80(2) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the

Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers.

Since the Committee unreservedly endorses the content of the proposal and feels that it requires no comment on its part, it decided, at its 445th plenary session of 28 and 29 May 2008 (meeting of 29 May 2008), with 85 votes in favour and two abstentions, to issue an opinion endorsing the proposed text.
