Press Release: Compulsory use of safety belts and child-restraint systems: Commission sends reasoned opinion to the United Kingdom

The European Commission decided on 31 January, 2008, to send a reasoned opinion to the United Kingdom for failure to transpose the Directive on the compulsory use of safety belts and child-restraint systems in vehicles in Gibraltar, and to notify its implementing measures. This Directive was adopted to increase safety for road users and especially for children.
