I had it (prepared) with reference to the appendix of the draft resolution. I do not have the original document (303 pages), but only the commentary – which is what the esteemed member of parliament would also only read.

Winter tires are allowed to be a maximum of 6 years old during their entire period of use (i.e., throughout the entire winter) and must have at least 4 mm of tread depth. . .
", the following applies: In the context of this directive, it means:
2.2. "M+S Tires": Tires whose tread pattern and structure are designed to provide better driving characteristics primarily in mud and fresh or melting snow compared to normal tires. The tread pattern of M+S tires is generally characterized by larger grooves and/or lugs, which are separated by larger spaces than those found on normal tires.
Bitte gib mir den deutschen Text, den du übersetzt haben möchtest.
3.1 The tires must bear the following markings:
3.1.5. the letters "M + S" or "M.S" or "M & S" on M + S tires;
Nothing mentioned about an increased minimum tread depth or age limit for M+S tires.
It is also completely beyond my comprehension how, based on this, they intend to drive products like China-SR with M+S markings out of the market .
