It took years and a decision by the Council of. State for the technical inspection of powered two-Wheelers to just begin to become a reality in France. In the bins for at least two years, and while everyone agrees that "everything is ready", the application of this new directive is still awaited. It's mostly political," says Tony Renucci, the director general of the association Respire.
