I just don't get the point of it all.
I think the way the EU is looking at things is that it is trying to cover off the "small specialist manufacturer" kind of solution to producing and selling vehicles that are broadly outwith their intentions when it comes to how hey want the cars to be... and, as with any regulations, it leads to some situations like this...

As for the UK, and our application (or otherwise) then we are not going to adopt anything different because nobody will be making different vehicles just for our market (albeit I accept the RHD thing is already doing that, but in terms of safety and emissions the cars broadly align regardless of side of road driven on) and the thinking is other markets worldwide will start to come together on things like safety and emissions... and we would simply look daft reversing away from these things...
