I do not believe there is a formal proposal. The EU standard is 4 m height; therefore, there is no proposal to change heights or weights throughout EU member states. Individual states have the right to apply different weights and heights in their own jurisdiction and it is up to member states to agree to it on a bilateral basis. We want to ensure nothing undermines this position. To clarify, there is no proposal to change the heights or weights.
