EU – Regulating Biking – Consultation Framework Directive – Anti -Tampering – Europe.
Right To Ride has been in consultation regarding proposals for a new framework regulation for motorcycles which seeks to regulate emissions and the safety of motorcycles.
However the European Commission has given the first public hints on what they are proposing to initiate through “a new focus on motorcyclists”, this focus is linked to the new proposed framework regulation for motorcycles, which seeks to regulate emissions and the safety of motorcycles.
