56As the Advocate General observed in point 149 of his Opinion, that interpretation is not called into question by the fact that the vehicle concerned is EC type-approved, allowing that vehicle to be driven on the road. Directive 2007/46 envisages the situation in which the unlawfulness of an element of design of a vehicle, for example in the light of the requirements of Article 5 of Regulation No 715/2007, is discovered only after that approval has been granted. Thus, Article 8(6) of that directive provides that the approval authority may withdraw the approval of a vehicle. Furthermore, it follows from the first and third sentences of Article 13(1) of that directive that, where a manufacturer informs a Member State which has granted EC type-approval of a change in the information package, that Member State may, where necessary, decide, in consultation with the manufacturer, that a new EC type-approval is to be granted.
