Commission urges action on motorbikes
The European Commission is urging EU member states to review the use of motorbikes because of concerns about safety. EU Commissioner for Consumer Protection, Markos Kyprianou said: “The increasing numbers of inexpensive motorbikes on the EU market is an extremely worrying development. These bikes are designed to appeal to youngsters through their size and speed, but they are not toys and can kill. As a matter of urgency, I urge member states to alert consumers to the dangers of these motorbikes, increasetesting and ensure the withdrawal of unsafe products.” In recent months, the Commission has been alerted to the increasing numbers of inexpensive motorbikes being imported into Europe. Several EU countries have reported serious and even fatal accidents involving such products and have detected major design and construction defects.
