The announcement of the entry into force of technical inspection for two-wheelers from 2023 in the Journal, although very Official, will have fizzled out. The President of the Republic himself was apparently angered by this since he has just suspended the implementation of this measure requested by the European Union. Who will never turn back and apply penalties to France…
This is a turnaround that we did not expect and we can wonder how long it will last, in the face of the European Union. Thus, one day after the introduction of technical inspection for two-wheelers from 2023, the Ministry of Transport announced on Wednesday the suspension until further notice of the measure, “ so as not to annoy the French “, justified the Élysée to AFP.
This biannual control was established on Wednesday by decree for gradual entry into force from 2023. Required by the European Union since 2014 to improve road safety, protect the environment and limit noise pollution, it is already applied in many neighboring countries. This measure, published in the Official Journal in the middle of summer, had the air of unconditional capitulation after a period of resistance notably organized by the motorcycle federations.
« After discovering this measure, the President of the Republic decided that now was not the time to bother the French “, explained to theAFP an advisor to the executive. “ With the health crisis going on, we are already asking a lot of them. We can be for security without bothering the French in their daily lives, a priori without support on their part ».
Technical inspection already suspended for “don’t bother the French”:
After a discussion Thursday morning with Emmanuel Macron, the Minister of Transport Jean-Baptiste Djebbari “ agreed with the federations to meet at the start of the school year to discuss widely on the various subjects concerning them “, indicated a spokesperson for the ministry. “ This is not the ministry's priority ».
But it still remains a strong desire from Europe, whose directive on the subject dates from 2014. It provided for the establishment from January 1, 2022 of a technical inspection for two- and three-wheel motorized vehicles. 'a cylinder capacity greater than 125 cm3, to fight against accidents and pollution. The European directive cites several dozen control points concerning brakes, tires, lighting and noise. Most European countries have already implemented this technical inspection for motorcycles.
