Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) This Regulation should contain substantive requirements relating to emission limits and EU type-approval procedures for engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery. The main elements of the relevant requirements of this Regulation are based on the results of the impact assessment of 20 November 2013 carried out by the Commission analysing different options by listing possible advantages and disadvantages in terms of economic, environmental, health effects and safety and societal aspects. Both qualitative and quantitative aspects were included in that analysis. After comparison of the different options, the preferred options were identified and chosen to form the basis for this Regulation.

Recital 6
(6) This Regulation aims to lay down harmonised rules for the EU type-approval of engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery, with a view to ensuring the functioning of the internal market in the broader context of the on-going review of Union air quality policy. For these purposes, new emission limits should be established to reflect technological progress and ensure convergence with Union policies in the on-road sector, with a view to achieving Union air quality targets and reducing the emissions from non-road mobile machinery, thus resulting in a more proportionate share of machinery emissions in relation to road vehicle emissions. The scope of Union legislation in this field should be broadened, with a view to improving market harmonisation at EU and international level and minimising the risks of market distortions and of adverse health effects being caused through exhaust emissions. In addition, this Regulation aims to simplify the current legal framework, including measures for simplifying administrative procedures, and to improve the general conditions for enforcement, in particular by strengthening the rules on market and on air pollution surveillance.
