ACEA Regulatory Guide-2021

A U T O M O T I V E R E G U L AT O RY G U I D E 2 0 2 1
It is with great pleasure that I present you ACEA’s Regulatory Guide, a unique
publication that provides a comprehensive overview of the national and international
regulations governing the automotive industry.
This first edition covers the regulatory frameworks of the European Union (EU),
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as well as
countries such as Brazil, China, India, Israel, Japan and South Korea.
Looking at the many regulations that define how motor vehicles should be built
and approved, I cannot stress enough the importance of a harmonised regulatory
framework that allows for innovation and investment across our industry. Indeed,
the European automotive industry is one of the most heavily regulated sectors in
Europe with more than 100 EU Regulations and 80 Directives covering the sector’s
activities. That is why ACEA has long been advocating the need for smarter, rather
than simply more, legislation.
To give you an example, with over 50 different safety regulations in the EU, 77 at
UNECE level and 40 for the seven Gulf countries, the harmonisation of procedures
and standards is much needed to further advance the global objective of reducing
road fatalities to zero in the future. And the same applies to addressing the climate
change challenge of course; increased global harmonisation will allow us to get to
carbon-neutral mobility faster and more efficiently.
With the support of national and international regulators, the automotive industry is
fully committed to facing the challenges of today for a better tomorrow.
I hope that industry stakeholders and policy makers alike will find great added value
in this ACEA Regulatory Guide, the first of its kind in the world. I am already looking
forward to sharing the next edition which will include more countries
for an even more comprehensive overview.

EU INSTITUTIONS
THERE ARE THREE MAIN INSTITUTIONS INVOLVED IN EU LEGISLATION:
Council of
European Parliament European Commission
the European Union
Together, these three institutions produce through the ‘Ordinary Legislative Procedure’ (ex ‘co-decision’) the policies and laws that
apply throughout the EU.
In principle, the European Commission proposes new laws, and the Parliament and Council adopt them.
The Commission and the member countries then implement them, and the Commission ensures that the laws are properly applied
and implemented.
