Europe - The Motorrijdersactiegroep MAG (MAG Netherlands) where lining up to go to Brussels regarding the mandatory Road Worthiness Testing proposals by the European Commission that would effect them!

They state: "We were in the starting blocks to drive to Brussels in April for a massive APK protest - but now the Transport Council has spoken out against the plans of the European Commission."

"The most important part of that statement is that the current exceptional measure for a mandatory motorcycle inspection remains: member states may - subject to conditions - therefore continue to abstain from a motorcycle APK."

"Of course, that also applies to the Netherlands: our government doesn't want such an inspection at all."

"On the above news, everyone cheers that the inspection here is definitively done, but an agreement has yet to be reached."

"So don't celebrate too early. But as one of our European experts noted with an extremely British wink: "It's good to know that Europe (the commission, the parliament, etc.) doesn't like to engage in unimportant matters. And it's certainly good to know that motorcyclists are insignificant. "

"So we have good hope. Our planned ride will remain a planned ride until then."We stonden in de startblokken om in april voor een massale APK-protestrit naar Brussel te rijden - maar nu heeft de Transportraad zich tegen de plannen van de Europese Commissie uitgesproken. Belangrijkste onderdeel van die uitspraak is dat de Transportraad wil dat de huidige uitzonderingsmaatregel voor een verplichte motorkeuring behouden blijft: lidstaten mogen dan - onder voorwaarden - dus van een motor-APK blijven afzien. Dat geldt natuurlijk ook voor Nederland: onze overheid wil zo'n keuring helemaal niet.

Op bovenstaand nieuws juichte de motorpers dat de keuring hier definitief van de baan is, maar er moet nog wel een akkoord bereikt worden. Niet te vroeg feestvieren dus. Maar zoals een van onze Europa-deskundigen al met een uiterst Britse knipoog opmerkte: "Het is goed om te weten dat de Europa (de commissie, het parlement, enzovoort) niet graag met onbelangrijke zaken bezig is. En het is zeker ook goed om te weten dat motorrijders onbelangrijk zijn." We hebben dus goede hoop. Onze geplande rit blijft tot die tijd nog een geplande rit.
