(5) The table in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 containing the list of requirements referred to in Article 4(5) and Article 6(3) of that Regulation does not contain any reference to regulatory acts as regards the advanced driver distraction warning systems. It is therefore necessary to introduce a reference to this Regulation in that Annex. Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) As the requirement for ADDW systems under Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 is to apply from 7 July 2024 (as described in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144), this Regulation should apply from the same date.

(7) The provisions of this Regulation are closely linked as they deal with rules concerning the specific test procedures and technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their advanced driver distraction warning systems. As a result of the rules laid down in this Regulation, it is necessary to add a reference to this Regulation in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144. It is therefore appropriate to lay down those provisions in a single Delegated Regulation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
