The Road Traffic (Amendment) (No 2) Bill 1995 provides this link. empowers the Commissioner for Transport to refuse first registration of motor vehicles which do not comply with the noise emission standards specified in the Noise Control (Motor Vehicles) Regulation to be made later.

I look to Members to support this Bill which is necessary for the implementation of noise emission standards on newly registered vehicles.

Thank you, Mr President.
