(8) Moreover, given the potentially high number of networks and equipment connected to the system established under the Galileo programme, in particular for the use of PRS, principles for the security accreditation of those networks and equipment should be defined in the security accreditation strategy, in order to ensure the homogeneity of the accreditation without encroaching on the competence of national entities of the Member States competent in security matters.

(4) It is desirable to take into account the technical requirements adopted by the UN Economic Commission for Europe in its Regulation No 30 (‘Uniform provisions concerning the approval of pneumatic tyres for motor vehicles and their trailers’), as amended , in its Regulation No 54 (‘Uniform provisions concerning the approval of pneumatic tyres for commercial vehicles and their trailers’) , in its Regulation No 64 (‘Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles equipped with temporary-use spare wheels/tyres’), as amended , and in its Regulation No 117 (‘Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval Of Tyres With Regard To Rolling S ...[+++]ound Emissions And To Adhesion On Wet Surfaces’), as amended , which are annexed to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (Revised 1958 Agreement) .

Under type approval procedures, ruled consumption for passenger cars takes into account the fact that natural gas can be of low energy content.

(12) Furthermore, in view of the scope of the tasks entrusted to the Agency, which include security accreditation, the Agency’s Scientific and Technical Committee should be disbanded and its System Security and Safety Committee replaced by a Security Accreditation Board for European GNSS systems, to be responsible for security accreditation, and composed of representatives from the Member States and the Commission.

The timetable for the introduction of specific new requirements for the type-approval of vehicles should take into account the technical feasibility of those requirements.
