(2) In its European Strategy for Low- Emission Mobility21 the Commission announced that in order to meet the Union's commitments at the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) held in Paris in 2015, the decarbonisation of the transport sector must be accelerated and that therefore greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutant emissions from transport should be firmly on the path towards zero-emission by mid-century. Moreover, emissions of air pollutants from transport that hare harmful tom the environment and our health need to be significantly reduced without delay. This can be achieved by an array of policy initiatives, including the use of public procurement of clean vehiclesultra-low emission vehicles. Furthermore, in order to meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement and to ensure a real contribution by the transport sector to the decarbonisation of society, the Union should ensure the public procurement of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles is ended without delay. _________________ 21 COM( 2016) 501 final.

(5) Innovation of new technologies helps to lower vehicle emissions, supporting the decarbonisation of the transport sector. An increased uptake of low- and zero-emission road vehicles is likely to reduce emissions of CO2 and certain pollutant emissions (particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbons) and to promote competitiveness and growth of the European industry in the increasing global markets for, which contribute to the insurgence of numerous diseases and are directly responsible for more than 400.000 premature deaths per year in Europe, generating health costs estimated between 330 billion and 940 billion EUR, equivalent to 3 to 9% of the Union's GDP. In order to reduce noise pollution and comply with limit values for air pollutants the Commission and the Member States should foster the public procurement of low- and zero-emission vehicles.

(5a) The procurement of ultra-low emission vehicles can leverage the development of the infrastructure necessary for the smart charging of electric vehicles. Combining requirements for electro-mobility concerning the pre- equipment of parking spaces and the installation of charging points, as required by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive [as amended by COM (2016)0765], with requirements for the procurement of ultra-low emission vehicles, is an effective way to promote electric vehicles while allowing further developments at reduced costs in the medium to long-term as well as increasing consumer acceptance.

(7) Directive 2009/33/EC complements the horizontal public procurement legislation of the Union and adds sustainability criteria, and thereby aims to stimulate the market for clean and energy efficient road transport vehiclesultra-low emission vehicles and to support the development of the associated infrastructure. The Commission carried out an ex-post evaluation of the Clean Vehicles Directive in 2015 concluded that the Directive did not trigger market uptake of cleaultra-low emission vehicles across the Union, particular due to shortcomings in its provisions on scope and vehicle purchase. The impact on reducing greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions and the impact on promoting industry competitiveness was found to have been very limited.

Recital 10
(10) There is widespread support from key stake amended Directive shoulders for a definition of clean vehicles taking account of reduction requirements for contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases and air pollutant emissions from light- and heavy- duty vehicles. To ensure that there are adequate incentives to supporting market- uptake of lowzero- and zerolow-emission vehicles in the Union, provisions for their public procurement under this amendment should be aligned with provisions of Union legislation on CO2 emission performance of cars and vans for the post-2020 period26 . Action carried out under the amendedin accordance with this Directive will also contribute to compliance with the requirements of these standards and will facilitate the deployment of the associated recharging infrastructure. A more ambitious approach for public procurement canwill provide an important additional market stimulus. _________________ 26 COM(2017) 676 final

Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) Vehicles with zero emissions at the tail-pipe have an environmental footprint due to the entire life-cycle process from production to disposal of the components and their level of recyclability. Therefore, public authorities should be encouraged to consider aspects other than price when procuring vehicles, such as the recyclability of batteries and the critical availability of raw materials. Research and development on batteries should be supported by the policies of the Union.

(12) Setting minimum targets for clean vehicle procurementnew procurement contracts of clean vehicles by 2025 and by 2030 at Member State level should contribute to policy certainty for markets where investments in low- and zero-ultra-low emission mobility are warranted. Targets should be met by the dates indicated in Table 4 and Table 5 of the Annex. The minimum targets support market creation throughout the Union. They provide time for the adjustment of public procurement processes and give a clear market signal. The Impact Assessment notes that Member States increasingly set targets, depending on their economic capacity and how serious the problem is. Different targets should be set for different Member States in accordance with their economic capacity (Gross Domestic Product per capita) and exposure to pollution (urban population density). Minimum procurement targets should be complemented by the obligation of the contracting authorities, entities and operators to consider relevant energy and environmental aspects in all their procurement procedures. The Territorial Impact Assessment of this amended Directive illustrated that the impact will be evenly distributed among regions in the Union.
Amendment 108 #
(13a) Public procurement in the area of ultra-low emission vehicles and the retrofitting of vehicles toward the zero- emission standard should be key elements of any plan adopted in the Union concerning sustainable mobility and urban development. The Commission and the Member States should ensure, in particular, that detailed information on the procurement of ultra-low emission vehicles and on hardware retrofitting is considered as information to be incorporated into local, regional and national air quality plans adopted in accordance with Directive 2008/50/EC for zones and agglomerations where the level of pollutants in ambient air exceeds limit values in order to keep the exceedance period as short as possible. They should also guarantee that such information is duly reflected into action plans adopted in accordance with Directive 2002/49/EC for the purpose of managing noise issues and effects, including noise reduction.
Amendment 113 #
(15) Reporting on public procurement under this amended Directive should provide a clear market overview to enable effective monitoring of the implementation. It should start with an intermediate report in 20232 and continue with a first full report on the implementation of the minimum targets in 20265 and thereafter every three years. To minimise administrative burden on single public bodies and establish an effective market overview, simple reporting should be facilitated. The Commission will ensure full reporting for low- and zero-emission and other alternative-fuel vehicles within the context of the Common Procurement Vocabulary of the Union. Specific codes in the Common Procurement Vocabulary will help the registration and monitoring under the Tender Electronic Daily Database.

Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) Whereas procurement targets under the amended Directive are set at Member State level, local public authorities, entities and public transport operators are key actors as regards their implementation. Local circumstances in terms of governance, financial capability risk structures, technologies, usage modes and geography may vary significantly. At the same time, any increase in the cost and any reduced offer of public transport, which would result in reduced attractiveness for public transport, should be avoided. Therefore, affected stakeholders should be able to count on robust financial support schemes backing their initiatives for the renewal of public fleets and the roll-out of associated charging and electricity grid infrastructure.

Recital 16 b (new)
(16b) Setting minimum procurement targets for ultra-low emission vehicles will require additional financial resources for contracting authorities and contracting entities. Therefore, the Union budgetary and financial policies after 2020 should consider this in order to provide sufficient financial support. This should be reflected in the next Multiannual Financial Framework, which should support sustainable urban mobility projects and strengthen necessary synergies between various funding sources and programmes, as well as in the rules regarding sustainable finance and Union financial institutions.
