Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE EUROPEAN Commission has proposed that a United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) standard on the type approval of "mechanical coupling components of combinations of vehicles" should be adopted as a European Union regulation.

It has asked the EU Council of Ministers to agree, thereby "removing technical barriers to the trade" of such equipment while "ensuring a high level of safety".

The standard is designed for drawbars and artics where "the vertical load imposed on the motor vehicle by the trailer does not exceed 200kN".
