87As the Advocate General observed, in point 95 of his Opinion, Article 46 of the Framework Directive pursues different objectives from those of Articles 12 and 30 thereof. The latter safeguard conformity with the technical requirements contained in the regulatory acts, whereas Article 46 services the objective of establishing and opening an internal market characterised by fair competition between manufacturers. In addition to that objective, the penalties laid down in Article 46 of the Framework Directive must also ensure that the purchaser of a vehicle has a certificate of conformity enabling him, in accordance with Annex IX to that directive, to register it in any Member State without having to provide additional technical documents.
