Recital 2
(2) Although emissions of methane are not known to have a direct harmful effect on human health, methane is a strong greenhouse gas. Therefore, in line with the Communication of the Commission on the application and future development of Community legislation concerning vehicle emissions from light-duty vehicles and access to repair and maintenance information (Euro 5 and 6)2 and with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council3, the Commission should consider including methane emissions in the calculation of CO2 emissions. __________________ 2 only after having carried out a full stakeholder consultation and an impact assessment if justified, and in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. __________________ 2 OJ C 182, 19.7.2008, p. 17. OJ C 182, 19.7.2008, p. 17. 3 Regulation (EC) 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information (OJ L 171, 29.6.2007, p. 1).

Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) The results of the test procedure that provides the basis of EC type approval emissions regulations should reflect emission levels observed in real driving conditions. Therefore, emission control systems and test cycles should be designed in real driving conditions, especially in urban areas where driving conditions are much more transient than the regulatory test cycle.

Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) As the harmful levels of air pollution in urban areas are directly related to road and driving conditions, emission control systems and test cycles should be designed in real driving conditions and reflect emissions rates observed in normal use of light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles.

Recital 7
(7) In order to achieve EUnion air quality objectives, as set out by the Air Quality Standards and by the Directive (EC) No 2008/50 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a, and to ensure a continuous effort to reduce vehicle emissions, the power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFUE) should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the detailed rules on the application of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 to vehicles of categories M1, M2, N1 and N2 with a reference mass exceeding 2 610 kg but with a maximum vehicle mass not exceeding 5 000 kg, the specific procedures, tests and requirements for type approval, the requirements for the implementation of the prohibition on the use of defeat devices that reduce the effectiveness of emission control systems, the measures necessary for the implementation of the obligation of a manufacturer to provide unrestricted and standardised access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, the replacement of the information on the mass of CO2 emissions in the certificate of conformity with information on total mass of CO2 emissions equivalents, the increase or removal of the limit value of total hydrocarbons emissions for positive ignition vehicles, the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for the purposes of recalibrating the particulate mass based limit values and introducing particle number based limit values that would correlate broadly with the petrol and diesel mass limit values, the adoption of a revised measurement procedure for particulates and a particle number limit value, a limit value for emissions of NO2 and limits for tailpipe emissions at cold temperatures for vehicles approved as complying with the Euro 6 emission limits. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council. __________________ 1aDirective2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe (OJ L 152, 11.6.2008, p. 1).

Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) The Commission should evaluate the potential consequences of making fuel consumption meters (FCM) mandatory for light-duty (LD) and heavy-duty (HD) vehicles and making the installation of gear shift indicators (GSI) in LD and HD vehicles mandatory. Where appropriate, the Commission should submit a legislative proposal. Requirements to make FCM mandatory should include provisions making the installation of inter-switchable average- and momentary fuel consumption indicators mandatory in the dashboard instrumentation of LD and HD vehicles.
