Translation of "Event-driven control structure " (English → French) :

None of the structure rearward of the rear axle shall have pointed or sharp parts or projections which are directed outwards and which are likely to catch or significantly increase the severity of injuries or chance of lacerations to vulnerable road users in the event of a collision while the vehicle is being driven rearward.

None of the vehicle structure forward of the line described in point 1.2.3.1 shall have pointed or sharp parts or projections which are directed outwards and which are likely to catch or significantly increase the severity of injuries or chance of lacerations to vulnerable road users in the event of a collision while the vehicle is being driven forward.

Requirement of a close to balance or in surplus position || Country specific MTO in structural terms: - Provide a safety margin with respect to the 3% deficit limit - Ensure rapid progress towards sustainability - Allow room for budgetary manoeuvre For euro area and ERMII MS: limits of -1% of GDP Expenditure benchmark: expenditure net of discretionary measures should grow ≤ medium-term potential GDP || 0.5% GDP as a benchmark: - More in good times - Less in bad times >0.5% if debt above 60% or if pronounced sustainability risks Temporary deviation from the adjustment path allowed if: - Implementation of major structural reforms with a ve ...[+++]rifiable impact on the long-term sustainability of public finances – emphasis on pension reform - Unusual event outside the control of the MS concerned with a major impact on its financial position - Severe economic downturn for the euro area or the EU as a whole provided this does not endanger medium term fiscal sustainability || Procedure for correcting significant deviation (0.5% in one year or cumulatively over 2 years from the MTO or the adjustment path it) For euro area: financial sanctions in case of repeated non-compliance (interest-bearing deposit of 0.2% of GDP)

3. Considers, however, that the financial sanctions against Member States should increase in the event of a structural failure, over several years, by Member States to fulfil their obligations with regard to expenditure control;

2.8. ‘Airbag assembly’ means a device installed to supplement safety-belts and restraint systems in power-driven vehicles, i.e. system which, in the event of a severe impact affecting the vehicle automatically deploys a flexible structure intended to limit, by compression of the gas contained within it, the gravity of the contacts of one or more parts of the body of an occupant of the vehicle with the interior of the passenger comp ...[+++]artment.
