Traino vettura con A-frame

Risolto il problema del camper che traina vettura, la commissione parlamentare Europea ha così risposto: Parliamentary questions 2 September 2011 E-007695/2011 Answer given by Mr Tajani on behalf of the Commission to your question of August 8, 2011 ''Can the Commission please clarify the legality of A-Frame tow bars for towing small cars behind motor-homes with regard to Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Croatia? Could the Commission also please clarify if any restrictions in said countries have a consequence as regards the right of temporary passing through or short stay for cars with A-Frames?'' Reply: A combination of vehicles made up of a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle, both of which are in category M1 (specifically a motor-home and a car), falls outside the scope of EC law. The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic(1) of 8 November 1968 serves as the reference document in this matter. Among other things, Annex A of the abovementioned Convention sets out the conditions to be met by all vehicles in international traffic but only covers motor vehicles towing a ‘trailer designed to be coupled to a motor vehicle’. Apart from emergency breakdown towing, none of the Convention provisions concern towing of a car using an ‘A-frame’ tow bar(2). Each contracting party may therefore apply its own national legislation in the matter. The Commission does not have any information on the national rules which apply in the Member States and candidate countries referred to by the Honourable Member. With regard to transit via countries in which such vehicle combinations are banned, the absence of relevant provisions in the Vienna Convention means that the contracting parties involved may restrict or ban such traffic. PS: per chi non sa l'inglese, NON si può salvo che singoli membri dell'EC non abbiano disposto diversamente, come UK, Francia e Olanda dove quel sistema di traino è consentito . L' Italia, come al solito, dovrà aspettare 30 o 40 anni
