IRU comments on the German proposal to improve accessibility for passengers with reduced mobility
IRU believes that the revised proposal by Germany (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2016/20 and its Corr.1) to insert new amendments might create an additional burden on road transport operators without increasing road safety. IRU cannot support the German proposal and thinks that it would be more appropriate to address the issue with a cost benefit analysis, where the safety benefit can be justified.
