Laws relating to machinery (machinery directive)3

This directive must be viewed in the context of the machinery directive.

However, Parliament wanted to establish rules for this second stage already, because it thought that technically speaking it was possible to implement it by 1993.

We face two requirements here safety and the free movement of goods. I feel we must weigh up the two aspects against each other, but above all we must remember that, as manufacturers already have to observe certain safety regulations, we are not acting in a vacuum.

(h) the checks to be carried out on the machinery, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Directive 29.

A good example in this regard was agricultural machinery for spreading pesticides, which was incorporated into the Machinery Directive.

This afternoon we shall also be discussing the machinery directive and the whole con cept of self certification.

To prove that we can get this extension of the machinery directive to include mobile machinery finalized quickly, the committee now only has three amendments.

Solaris based machines.

Nor, sadly, can we accept the second amendment, because the transitional period, for which the 1989 directive did not provide, is essential for the following reason.

Mr Bangemann, in one we say that we want all lifting equipment included in the machinery directive.

We think that everyone who is interested in a good working environment should support us in rejecting the machinery directive, which is much more about money than about the safety of workers.

When we debated the machinery directive, Mr Bangemann, you must surely remember that we agreed to reject the attempt of the Federal Republic of Germany to postpone indefinitely the date on which the machinery directive was actually to take effect.

and amending Directive 95 16 EC

Thirdly, the low voltage directive tends to apply to hand held smaller machines and not to the kind of machine covered by the present directive.

We have both small machines and machines manufactured in batches and also large plants manufactured singly, and both the manufacturers who produce machines in batches and those who manufacture large plants must therefore have the opportunity to adjust to these standards and provisions.

Any extended use of these defence mechanisms, which is what I would call them, is not a desirable Community policy.

SCHLEICHER (PPE). (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, speaking on behalf of my group, I wish to say that the whole package being debated here today is part and parcel of the new concept of the internal market.

The directive on machinery applies practically to all machines, fixed or mobile, of commercial industrial or private use, in the European Union.

Neither can we accept that the deadlines for the entry into force of the provisions relating to mobile machinery and lifting equipment should be different to those applicable under the machinery directive.

Amendment no 10 makes it clear that there is no overlap between the framework Directive and the Machinery Directive.

3.2.1 The directive should be considered alongside other legislation on the noise emission of certain categories of machinery

Fourthly, mobile site equipment is excluded, but we intend to make a pro posal for a directive covering mobile machines by the end of the current year.

by the directive. To this should be added the socalled environmental guarantee in Article 100 A(4), which gives Member States the right to apply national provisions in relation to the essential safety requirements of the directive on grounds of major needs for the pro tection of the working environment, subject to the res triction that they should not constitute a hidden barrier to trade between the Member States.

Self propelled boring or sinking machinery for boring earth or extracting minerals or ores (excl. those mounted on railway or tramway wagons, motor vehicle chassis or lorries and tunnelling machinery)

Compression ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi diesel engine), for seagoing vessels of heading 8901 to 8906, tugs of subheading 89040010 and warships of subheading 89061000, new, of a power  15 kW but  50 kW

But we can promise him that by the end of the year, after we have looked at the problems rather more closely, we will propose a directive or a supplement to this directive which will probably cover more risks than those referred to in the amendment, because I do not believe all the risks have been mentioned.

Secondly, as a number of trade unions from various Member States have pointed out, the proposed direc tives will in a number of respects lead to a lowering of the standards already obtaining in some countries.

information on machines used for recycling purposes and ATMs

Matching the letters on the grippers to the correct letters on the slots

and a periodic survey of occupational safety and health risks in the Member States.

Driving and using machines Studies on the effects on the ability to drive and use machines have not been performed with Opgenra.

We are in favour of the Commission text of the framework directive and of the text of the three accompanying directives debated today.

Machines for producing textile yarns and machines for preparing textile yarns for use on machines of heading 8446 or 8447 (excl. machines of heading 8444 and spinning, doubling or twisting machines)

Household refrigerators, compression type, of a capacity  340 l

concerning the minimum safety and health require ments for the workplace (first individual directive within the meaning of Article 13 of the Directive) equal basis, we will not be able to achieve health pro tection and safety at work in the European Community on a lasting basis.

The enforcement of the rules on the working environment, just as that of the machinery directive, will require cooperation with enter prises based on trust.

The machines!

An implementing Directive has already been adopted for the labelling of washing machines and refrigerators.

Still others are outside the scope we perceive as the correct scope for the machinery directive.

The Com mission negotiated a convention with the European Trade Union Confederation, to provide its own aid.

HDFS stores large files (typically in the range of gigabytes to terabytes) across multiple machines.

We recommend that the directive be thrown out, because there is every indication that it will be impossible for the Member States to introduce stricter rules on machines than those of the EC.
