  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (EC Type Approval) Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/2051) (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 2 amends the definition of “the Framework Directive” in regulation 3(1) of the principal Regulations so that it encompasses the further amendments made to Council Directive 70/156/EEC by Directive 2004/104/EC.\nThe Table in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations (“the Table”) lists separate Directives under the Framework Directive, which lay down technical standards for vehicle components or features of construction. EC Directives 2004/104/EC amends the Separate Directive relating to radio interference (electromagnetic compatibility), and Directive 70/156/EEC. Directives 2005/11/EC, 2005/21/EC and 2005/27/EC amend the Separate Directives on vehicles tyres, diesel smoke emissions and devices for indirect vision respectively. Regulation 3 inserts references to these Directives at the appropriate place in the Table, thereby implementing them for the purpose of EC type approval procedures.\nIn line with the principal Regulations, the use of the symbol * denotes that the Directive specified is a Commission Directive.\nA regulatory impact assessment of the effect that the transposition of Directive 2004/104/EC will have on the costs of business is available from Gus Gander of the Vehicle Certification Agency of the Department for Transport, 1 Eastgate Office Centre, Eastgate Road, Bristol BS5 6XX (Tel: 01179 524119; e-mail ggander@vca.gov.uk). Since the impacts of Directives 2005/11/EC, 2005/21/EC and 2005/27/EC will be negligible, it has not been considered necessary to conduct an RIA in respect of their implementation.\nA Transposition Note has also been prepared, and is available from Gus Gander at the above addresses.\nCopies of the Regulatory Impact Assessment and of the Transposition Note may also be accessed on the Office of Public Information website www.opsi.gov.uk.",
