• The broad market penetration of available or
  ready to market vehicle safety systems is
  hindered by a missing business case.
• The current regulations for masses and dimensions
  hinder, if the load length should be kept, the
  introduction of an advanced passive safety
  system.The member states therefore should
  therefore
• promote the market penetration of safety
  systems by granting incentives,
• agree to a harmonized approach for additional
  length and weight for a passive safety
  system.
