Radio continuity shall be provided for permitting the rescue services to communicate with their on-site command facilities.

The reductions can be secured by using alternative fuels and propulsion systems but also through greater use of hybrid engines, improved petrol engines, greater use of diesel engines and by downsizing of engines supplemented by turbo-chargers, as well as through further development of powertrains, reductions in vehicle weights through greater use of aluminium, installation of stop-start mechanisms, enhanced gearing, improved aerodynamic design, use of reduced friction lubricants and ball bearings, installation of more efficient air conditioning systems and use of low roll resistance tyres.

The Commission cannot, therefore, accept Amendments Nos 13, 14 and 16 which would tighten the deadlines further for the phasing out of HCFC use in solvents, air conditioning and polyurethane foams.
