Report on the subgroup on Agriculture coupling equipment (R55-03-18, R55-03-19)

Mr Westphäling reported that after that the German rules were translated into English and put forward as a proposal the workload for Mr. Schauer had changed drastically due to the parallel work with the upcoming frame directive for agricultural machines and vehicles. Hence Mr. Schauer is no longer able to lead the sub-group. Meanwhile the Italian delegation had identified a number of differences towards the national Italian rules. Those differences the Italians were not prepared to accept right away. Hence they had started a local workgroup to discuss the German proposal and possibly make an own proposal for agricultural coupling equipment. Also the French delegation had some comments on the German proposal. However it was decided to wait for the Italian initiative managed by UNACOMA. It was also noted that the time frame to be able to match the development of the European Frame directive is very tight.
