在歐洲議會把草案公布后兩年，才投票批準(zhǔn)了這個妥協(xié)方案，這給正處在嚴(yán)重經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)下的制造商們提供了足夠的準(zhǔn)備時間來進(jìn)入這個條例的實(shí)施階段，新的條例仍然會由歐盟成員國正式批準(zhǔn)。
此條例主要是針對安全和環(huán)保要求提出了更高的要求，其中包括所有L分類（輕便摩托車，踏板車，摩托車，三輪車和四輪車）中的所有2,3，4輪機(jī)動車，最后的目的是到2020年有效遏制汽車的排放污染物指標(biāo)。涉及范圍從125CC以上的摩托車要強(qiáng)制加裝ABS，到更為綠色的助動車，摩托車和新的車輛批準(zhǔn)程序。
根據(jù)被批準(zhǔn)的條例，輕便摩托車和輕型四輪車的新車型到2014年中仍適用歐三標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。新法規(guī)將在2016年要求摩托車，三輪車和重型四輪車的新車型達(dá)到歐四標(biāo)準(zhǔn)（2017年為所有車型），輕便摩托車和輕型四輪車實(shí)施時間為2018年。結(jié)合摩托車的歐四標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，ABS將被強(qiáng)制要求安裝在所有125CC以上的機(jī)動車上。所有L類機(jī)動車的新車型必須在2020年達(dá)到歐五限值。（2021年則為所有機(jī)動車）

Motorcycle Industry welcomes vote of the European Parliament
on the Type Approval Regulation
ACEM calls on Commission for a swift publication of the delegated acts to ensure manufacturers sufficient lead time
PRESS RELEASE
Brussels - 20 November 2012 The European Parliament approved today with 643 votes in favour, 16 against and 18 abstentions, the Regulation on Type Approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
Two years after the publication of the proposal by the European Commission, the vote approved the compromise text simplifying the calendar seeking to give manufacturers the necessary lead time to prepare for the entry into application of the regulation in a particularly difficult economic context. To allow for a first reading agreement, the new regulation still has to be formally approved by EU member states.
The regulation aims at upgrading safety and environmental requirements for 2-, 3-, and 4-wheeled vehicles of the L-category (mopeds, scooters, motorcycles, tricycles, and quadricycles) with the final goal of achieving parity with cars as regards the containment of polluting emissions by 2020. Prescriptions range from mandatory ABS for motorcycles above 125cc, to greener mopeds and motorcycles and new type-approval procedures.
According to the approved compromise, moped and light quadricycles new types will already adopt the EURO 3 emission stage in mid-2014, via comitology. The new regulation will introduce EURO 4 emission limits for motorcycles, tricycles and heavy quadricycles in 2016 for new type approvals (2017 for all vehicles) and one year later for mopeds and light quadricycles. In conjunction with the EURO 4 stage for motorcycles, ABS will become mandatory on all vehicles above 125cc. All L category vehicles are expected to meet the EURO 5 limits by 2020 for new type approvals (2021 for all vehicles).
Wim van de Camp, MEP EPP, Rapporteur for the regulation, and main supporter of the rationalisation of the proposed calendar from three to two emission stages, has urged the Commission to stick to the principle of simplification, recommending the swift conclusion of the legislative process on the main regulation text. He further underlined the need for early availability of the delegated acts, which are still under development and contain technical and administrative details, necessary for industry to develop vehicles compliant with the new regulation within the agreed dates.
Antonio Tajani, Commissioner for industry, also underlined the need for a simplification of the legislation and committed to making swift progress on the delegated acts.
ACEM, the Association representing the Motorcycle Manufacturers in Europe, welcomes the outcome of the vote, as early visibility on upcoming requirements is fundamental. ACEM furthermore appreciates that the Rapporteur highlighted the importance of a comprehensive environmental study, being carried out by the Commission by 2016, considering the appropriateness of the Euro 5 stage. For a comprehensive and fair evaluation, not only the share of pollutants contributed by L-category vehicles must be part of this assessment, but also other aspects, such as technical feasibility, lead-time, and overall cost efficiency. These principles were underlined again recently by the CARS21 process, as being fundamental to long term competitiveness of the European automotive industry which includes the motorcycle sector.
Quote
Jacques Compagne, ACEM Secretary General: like to thank Mr van de Camp and all the shadow rapporteurs for their efforts in delving into such complex technical issues and reaching a compromise with the European Council.
Motorcycle Manufacturers now call on the European Commission for a quick progression of the delegated acts, in close consultation and cooperation with stakeholders, so that all necessary measures can be implemented in order to start production planning of vehicles complying with the new type approval rules. Complex technical issues such as environmental propulsion performance, vehicle functional safety, vehicle construction, as well as administrative requirements still need to be tackled before manufacturers can actually apply the regulation.
