Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) Better designed car labelling providing consumers with comparable, reliable and user friendly information about the benefits of low emission cars, including information concerning air pollutants and running costs in addition to CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, could support the uptake of the most fuel efficient and environmentally friendly cars across the Union. The Commission should therefore review Directive 1999/94/EC no later than 31st December 2019 and put forward a relevant legislative proposal.

Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) In determining the credits for the zero- and low-emission vehicles, it is appropriate to account for the difference in CO2 emissions between the vehicles. The adjustment mechanism should ensure that a manufacturer exceeding the benchmark level would benefit from a higher specific CO2 target, whereas a manufacturer not achieving the benchmark would have to comply with a stricter CO2 target. In order to ensure a balanced approach, limits should be set to the level of adjustment possible within that mechanism. This will provide for incentives, promoting a timely roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure and yielding high benefits for consumers, competitiveness, and the environment.

Recital 17 b (new)
(17b) A successful transition to zero- emission mobility requires a comprehensive enabling landscape through the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, robust car labelling schemes, strong enforcement of air quality and climate change mitigation standards. Strong support schemes for workers in the automotive industry are needed for a just transition.

Recital 22
(22) The aim of this Regulation is to create incentives for the automotive industry to invest in new technologies. This Regulation actively promotes eco- innovation and provides a mechanism that should be able to acknowledge future technological development. Experience shows that eco-innovations have successfully contributed to the cost- effectiveness of Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 and to the reduction of real world CO2 emissions. This modality should therefore be maintained and the scope should be extended to incentivise efficiency improvements in air-conditioning systems and emission reductions in the material production, manufacturing and end of life stages of the vehicle lifecycle.

Recital 38 a (new)
(38a) It is of critical importance to consider the inevitable social impacts of the low-carbon transition in the automotive sector and to be proactive in addressing the unavoidable job implications that will be particularly pronounced in certain most affected regions. It is paramount therefore that current measures facilitating the low- carbon transition are also accompanied by targeted programmes for redeployment, re-skilling and up-skilling of workers, as well as education conducted in close dialogue with the social partners. Such efforts should be co-financed by earmarked revenues from the collected excess emissions premiums.

(41) The effectiveness of the targets set out in this Regulation in reducing CO2 emissions in reality is strongly dependent on the representativeness of the official test procedure. In accordance with the Opinion of the Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM)23 and the recommendation of the European Parliament, following its inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector24 , a mechanism should be put in place to assess the real world representativeness of vehicle CO2 emissions and energy consumption values determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. The Commission should have the powers to ensure the public availability of such data, and, where necessary, develop the procedures needed for identifying and collecting the data required for performing such assessments. most reliable way to ensure the real world representativeness of type-approval values is by introducing a real-world CO2 emissions test, which the Commission should be empowered to develop. That test should be developed by means of delegated acts and introduced at the latest two years after the date of application of this Regulation. However, in the meantime, and until it becomes applicable, compliance should be ensured by using data from the fuel consumption meters to be reported by manufacturers coupled with a not-to-exceed (NTE) limit of a maximum of 15 % above the type- approval values measured as of 2021 using the WLTP test. _________________ 23 High Level Group of Scientific Advisors, Scientific Opinion 1/2016 "Closing the gap between light-duty vehicle real-world CO2 emissions and laboratory testing" 24 European Parliament recommendation of 4 April 2017 to the Council and the Commission following the inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector (2016/2908(RSP))

In accordance with the Opinion of the Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM)23 and the recommendation of the European Parliament, following its inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector24 , a mechanism should be put in place to assess the real world representativeness of vehicle CO2 emissions and energy consumption values determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. The Joint Research Centre should be given the mandate to start working on the feasibility of real- driving emissions testing for CO2, allowing stakeholders to participate, to ensure such testing to be included in the regulatory framework as soon as possible. The real-world emission of vehicles should lie within a not-to-exceed (NTE) limit, set for each manufacturer in 2021 in respect of their 2025 and 2030 emission targets. The Commission should have the powers to ensure the public availability of such data, and from fuel consumption meters, and also, where necessary, develop the procedures needed for identifying and collecting the data required for performing such assessments. __________________ 23 High Level Group of Scientific Advisors, Scientific Opinion 1/2016 "Closing the gap between light-duty vehicle real-world CO2 emissions and laboratory testing" 24 European Parliament recommendation of 4 April 2017 to the Council and the Commission following the inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector (2016/2908(RSP))

(42) In 2024 it is foreseen to review the progress achieved under the [Effort Sharing Regulation and Emissions Trading System Directive]. It is therefore appropriate to assess the effectivenessThis Regulation should be reviewed in 2022 to take into account the rapid changes in technology and increased demand of low- and zero- emission vehicles. A review of thise Regulation in that same year to alshould adapt the share of low- a coordinated and coherent assessment of the measures implemented under all these instrumentsnd zero-emission vehicles needed to trigger the two-way adjustment mechanism.
Amendment 203 #
8a. From 2025 onwards manufacturers shall report on the lifecycle CO2 emissions of the vehicle types they put on the market after 1 January 2025 based on the harmonized EU methodology. For this purpose, the Commission shall develop, no later than 1 January 2022, by way of delegated acts a harmonized methodology on lifecycle CO2 emissions of all fuel types and vehicle powertrains found on the EU market. Such methodology shall be in line with the relevant ISO standards and account for the global warming potential (GWP) of vehicle’s well-to-wheel, tank-to- wheel and end-of-life emissions.
