Amendment: Decision 97/836/EC (Revised 1958 Agreement)

This procedure updates the EU's participation in the 1958 Agreement, an international framework for harmonizing vehicle safety and environmental standards. By amending the existing decision, the EU ensures that its technical regulations for vehicles remain aligned with global standards, facilitating safer roads and smoother international trade.

This affects vehicle manufacturers, including those producing cars, motorcycles, and agricultural machinery, as well as national certification bodies responsible for roadworthiness and safety compliance.
