European Agreement Dangerous Goods By Road

ADR aims to ensure that dangerous goods, including clinical waste and other hazardous waste transported by road, can freely cross international borders, provided that the goods, vehicles and drivers comply with the provisions of the CoR. ADR has been in force since 1968 and is managed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). It is updated every two years to take account of technological advances. The main objective and content of the Decision concerns the transport of dangerous goods by road and inland waterways. Therefore, the substantive legal basis of the proposal for a decision is Article 91 TFEU. The Annex to this proposal contains a detailed list of the proposed amendments indicating that they can be accepted by the Union. .
