This would require new cars to be designed so as to reduce the severity of injuries suffered by pedestrians in accidents. The attached paper sets out the background, explains the Commission's proposal, looks at costs and benefits (although we are still working to clarify these) and identifies issues where we would welcome your views. The consultation is in accordance with the Cabinet Office Code of Practice on Written Consultation. However, as the Commission's timetable is tight the consultation period will be six weeks, rather than the usual twelve. Ministers have cleared this. Please send any comments you wish to make, in writing, to Ms B Natarajan at the above address (by Friday 12 October 2001. Please note that we may be asked to make public the contents of the replies that we receive. When you send in your reply could you therefore please say if you do not want us to make a copy of it available if we are requested to do so. If you have any complaints or comments about the consultation process, please contact the DTLR consultation co-ordinator: Martin Leppert, 1/H9, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London SW1E Yours faithfully PETER O'REILLY Association of Chief Police Officers Association of Chief Police Officers (Scotland) Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd Automobile Association Bentley Motors Ltd BMW (GB) Ltd BRAKE Bristol Cars Ltd British Medical Association British Motorcyclists Federation Caterham Cars Ltd Child Accident Protection Trust Chrysler Jeep Chrysler Jeep Imports UK Citroen UK Ltd Colt Car Company Ltd Consumer Association Convention of Scottish Local Authorities County Surveyors' Society Cyclists' Touring Club Daewoo Cars Ltd Daihatsu UK Ltd Department for Education and Skills Department of Health Department of Trade & Industry Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee DoE Northern Ireland Driving Standards Agency Fiat Auto UK Ltd Ford Motor Co Ltd Freight Transport Association General Motors Hawk Cars Health & Safety Executive Highways Agency Home Office Honda UK Hyundai Car UK Ltd Isle of Man Jaguar Cars Ltd KIA Cars (UK) Ltd Lada Cars Lamborghini Cars Land Rover Local Authority Road Safety Officers Association Local Government Association Lotus Cars Ltd Mazda Cars (UK) Ltd McLaren Cars Ltd Mercedes Benz Ltd MG Rover Morgan Motor Co Ltd Motor Industry Research Association Motor Schools Association Motorcycle Action Group Motorcycle Advisory Group Motorcycle Industry Association National Assembly for Wales NG Cars Ltd Nissan Motor GB Ltd Parliamentary Council for Transport Safety Pedestrian Association Perodua Peugeot Motor Company Ltd Porsche Cars (GB) Ltd Professor Richard Allsop, University College London RAC Foundation of Motoring Reliant Motors Ltd Renault UK Ltd Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents SAAB (GB) Ltd Scottish Executive Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders States of Jersey Suzuki GB Plc Toyota GB Ltd Trades Union Congress TRL Ltd TVR Engineering Ltd Ultima Sports Cars Ltd Vauxhall Motors Ltd Vehicle Certification Agency Vehicle Inspectorate Volkswagen Group UK Ltd Volvo Cars UK Ltd Welsh Local Government Association The Consultation Criteria 1. Timing of consultation should be built into the planning process for a policy (including legislation) or service from the start, so that it has the best prospect of improving the proposals concerned, and so that sufficient time is left for it at each stage. 2. It should be clear who is being consulted, about what questions, in what timescale and for what purpose. 3. A consultation document should be as simple and concise as possible. It should include a summary, in two pages at most, of the main questions it seeks views on. It should make it as easy as possible for readers to respond, make contact or complain. 4 Documents should be made widely available, with the fullest use of electronic means (though not to the exclusion of others), and effectively drawn to the attention of all interested groups and individuals. 5. 代写英国论文Sufficient time should be allowed for considered responses from all groups with an interest. Twelve weeks should be the standard minimum period for a consultation. 6. Responses should be carefully and open-mindedly analysed, and the results made widely available, with an account of the views expressed, and reasons for decisions finally taken. 7. Departments should monitor and evaluate consultations, designating a consultation coordinator who will ensure the lessons are disseminated. Introduction 1. This consultation paper invites comments on a number of issues arising from the negotiated agreement on pedestrian protection which the European Commission has decided in principle to make with car manufacturers. All comments received will help to establish the UK's negotiating position in European discussions. Background 2. The European Commission has for some time been expected to make a proposal to require new cars to be designed so as to reduce the severity of injuries suffered by pedestrians in accidents. Over the years the UK has done much work to advance this issue. The basic principle is that new car models should be required to pass a series of technical tests (involving instrumented headforms and legforms) which would indicate how they would interact with a pedestrian. Framework 3. It had long been assumed that pedestrian protection requirements would be introduced in a Directive. However, last year the car manufacturers, through their representative bodies, lobbied for a negotiated approach, such as was taken on CO2 emissions. After prolonged discussion with the motor industry, the Commission has decided in principle to proceed on the basis of a negotiated agreement and has produced a proposal for an agreement. This was announced on 11 July. The Commission has indicated that it will consult Member States and the European Parliament. It is not yet clear exactly how this will be handled as the Commission has no specific machinery to cope with agreements of this nature. Technical content 4. The European scientific committee (EEVC-WG17), through which many European member states collaborate on research, presented a report to the Commission in 1999 containing a proposal for a pedestrian protection Directive. Following the approach from manufacturers, the Commission asked its Joint Research Centre (JRC) - a scientific group not previously involved in pedestrian protection - to look at the issues. The JRC favoured a less onerous test procedure (close to that initially proposed by the manufacturers), which the Commission are now proposing as the first phase of the negotiated agreement. The Commission's Proposal 5. The Commission has issued a draft communication setting out its intention to make an agreement on pedestrian protection with the motor industry (discussions with the European manufacturers' |
