L 168/36 Official Journal of the European Union 28.6.2008 COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/65/EC of 27 June 2008 amending Directive 91/439/EEC on driving licences THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Directive 91/439/EEC of 29 July 1991 on driving licences ('), and in particular Article 7a (2) thereof, Whereas: ) The list of codes as described in Annex I and la to Directive 91/439/EEC needs to be adapted. Community code 78, restricting the right to drive vehicles within a driving licence category to vehicles with automatic transmission only, should be amended in view of scientific and technical progress in the field. The minimum requirements for driving test vehicles as laid down in Annex II of Directive 91/439/EEC need to be aligned with the change in the definition of Community code 78. The minimum requirements for theory and practical tests as laid down in Annex II of Directive 91/439/EEC should be reviewed in order to bring the testing requirements into line with the demands of daily traffic with regard to the use of tunnels so as to improve the road safety level of this particular part of the road infrastructure. The periods laid down in points 5.2 and 6.2.5 of An- nex II to Directive 91/439/EEC have proved to be inadequate for the satisfactory implementation of the necessary measures. A supplementary period should be granted. Directive 91/439/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly. The measures provided for in this Directive are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee on driving licences, OJ L 237, 24.8.1991, p. 1.
