Its the same in the USA, which after all is one country, comprised of a
number of different states. e.g. California has a number of extra
requirements for emmision equipment, which the manufacturers address by
either building a one of model for the state or by forcing Californian
models onto the rest of the country.

Again, the same applies for insurance, vehicle registration and
condition testing.

In the EC, directives are passed to local national governments and they
implement the law locally, that is why there are different
interpretations of the same directive.

Yours
