The Deputy's query relates to a type-approval end-of-series derogation request pursuant to Article 44 of Regulation (EU) 168/2013.

Under article 3(b)(xi) of the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477/2006) this is a matter for the Road Safety Authority (RSA).

I am, however, given to understand that the RSA has now completed its assessment and has made the determination in this case to grant an end-of-series derogation for the vehicles that do not comply with the Euro 5 standard, subject to meeting certain qualifying conditions.
