(2) Although emissions of methane are not known to Methane is well-known as a strong greenhouse gas, as in atmosphere, methane disintegrates into CO subsequently oxidizing to CO2. In higher concentrations, methavne a direct("mine gas" which has a harmful effect on human health, methane is a strong greenhouse gas) has anaesthetic and asphyxiant effects on human health. 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 ofto fully take into account these emissions expressed as a CO2 equivalent calculated on the stoichiometrics of methane disintegration to CO/CO2 thus boosting environmental protection as well as allowing consumers to choose on a transparent and comparable CO2 emissions basis. __________________ 2 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).

(3) In order to facilitate the introduction of natural gas vehicles the current total hydrocarbons (THC) emission limit should be increased and the effectassess natural gas driven and petrol driven vehicles on equal standards as far as emissions are concerned, the current total hydrocarbons (THC) emission limit, especially methane, should be fully taken into account in expressing emissions as a CO2 equivalent calculated on the stoichiometrics of methane emdissions should be taken into account and expressed as a CO2 equivalentociation reaction thus boosting environmental protection as well as allowing to choose on a transparent and comparable CO2 emissions basis, for regulatory and consumer information purposes.

(2) Although emissions of methane are not known to have a direct harmful effect on human health, methane is a strong greenhouse gasMethane is well-known as a strong green-house gas, as in atmosphere, methane disintegrates into carbon monoxide subsequently oxidizing to carbon dioxide. In higher concentrations, methane (mine gas) has anaesthetic and asphyxiant effects on human health. Therefore, in line with the Commission Communication of the Commission2008/C 182/08 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 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).

(4) Modern diesel vehicles emit high and increasing amounts of toxic NO2 as a share of the total NOx emissions which were not anticipated when Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 was adopted. Most air quality problems in affected urban areas appear to be related to toxic NOx and direct NO2 emissions. Therefore, an appropriate emission limits should urgently be introduced for nitrogen oxides pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.

(5) The current emission limits for CO and total hydrocarbons (THC) after a cold start at low temperature have been carried over from Euro 3 requirements set out in Directive 98/69/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council4 , which appear to be outdated in the light of existing vehicle technology and air quality needs. In addition, air quality problems and results of vehicle emission measurements suggest the need to introduce an appropriate limit for NOx/NO2 emissions. ThereforeCausing 41% of NOx emissions, traffic is by far the main source of these emissions. Especially, the high efficiency of state-of- the-art motors is due to higher combustion temperatures which, in turn, produce higher amounts of NOx. NO2, on the other hand, is responsible for ozone formation, acid rain and irritation of the human respiratory system. Consequently, revised emission limits should be introduced pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. __________________ 4 Directive 98/69/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/220/EEC (OJ L 350, 28.12.1998, p. 1).
