Mr. Michael Moroney:

On the first point, obviously we understand the concerns of every road user in terms of what tractor drivers do. The law, irrespective of any roadworthiness testing, requires that any vehicle that is on the road after lighting up time must have appropriate lighting, indicators and so forth. From January 2016, it became mandatory for every tractor to have a hazard warning light on it when it is being used on public roads, irrespective of its age or size. Everybody who uses a tractor is aware of that. It is important that the legislation is enforced and FCI members would encourage that enforcement. We continue to be concerned about some operators who are using what are called ploughing lights, which are rear facing white lights. That is a major concern and there should be more awareness raised about that issue because such lights distort the road for other road users-----
