The Netherlands opposes Brussels’ car and motorbike test plan

The Dutch parliament will not support plans by Brussels to bring in EU-wide annual safety tests for cars and motorbikes and has sent a ‘negative recommendation’ to the European Commission.


Brussels has failed to show the need for new rules, MPs said. Transport minister Melanie Shultz van Haegen is also opposed.
