Recital 9
(9) An evaluation of Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 in 2015 concluded that those Regulations have been relevant, broadly coherent, and have generated significant emissions savings, whilst being more cost-effective than originally anticipated. They have also generated significant added value for the Union that could not have been achieved to the same extent through national measures. However, that evaluation also concluded that actual CO2 savings achieved are considerably less than those suggested by the type-approval test performance and that the ‘emissions gap’ between type- approval test and real-world performance has considerably undermined the effectiveness of the CO2 performance standards as well as consumers' trust in the potential fuel savings of new vehicles.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) The Commission’s evaluation of Directive 1999/94/EC1a in 2016 identified a need for further clarification and simplification of the legislation, which could increase its relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and coherence. Commission Recommendation (EU) 2017/9481b aims to encourage a harmonised application of Directive 1999/94/EC. Nevertheless, better designed and further harmonised Union requirements on 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 Directive1999/94/EC no later than 31 December2019 and put forward a relevant legislative proposal. __________________ 1aDirective 1999/94/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13December 1999 relating to the availability of consumer information on fuel economy and CO2 emissions in respect of the marketing of new passenger cars (OJ L12, 18.1.2000, p. 16). 1bCommission Recommendation (EU)2017/948 of 31 May 2017 on the use of fuel consumption and CO2 emission values type-approved and measured in accordance with the World Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure when making information available for consumers pursuant to Directive1999/94/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 142, 2.6.2017, p.100).

Recital 17 a (new)
Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) Recharging and refuelling infrastructure needs to be put in place quickly in order to provide confidence to consumers of zero- and low- emission vehicles, and different support instruments at both Union and Member State level need to effectively work together mobilising significant public and private investment.
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17 b (new)
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. That transition further requires a common policy framework for vehicles, infrastructures, electricity grids.

Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) In order to distribute the emission reduction effort in a competitively neutral and fair way that reflects the diversity of the market for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, and in view of the change in 2021 to WLTP-based specific emission targets, it is appropriate to determine the slope of the limit value curve on the basis of the specific emissions of all newly registered vehicles in that year, and to take into account the change in the EU fleet-wide targets between 2021, 2025 and 2030 with a view to ensuring an equal reduction effort of all manufacturers. With regard to light commercial vehicles, the same approach as that for car manufacturers should apply to manufacturers of lighter, car derived, vans, while for manufacturers of vehicles falling within the heavier segments, a higher and fixed slope should be set for the whole target perio, an equal reduction effort of all manufacturers should be ensured.

Recital 28
Recital 28
(28) The procedure for granting derogations from the 95 g CO2/km fleet target to niche car manufacturers ensures that the reduction effort required by niche manufacturers is consistent with that of large volume manufacturers with regard to that target., However, eExperience shows that niche manufacturers have the same potential as large manufacturers to meet the CO2 targets and with regard to the targets set from 2025 onwards, therefore, it is not considered appropriate to distinguish between those two categories of manufacturers.

Recital 38 a (new)
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 and job-seeking initiatives conducted in close dialogue with the social partners. Such efforts should be co-financed by earmarked revenues from the collected excess emissions premiums.

Recital 41
Recital 41
(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 powersmost 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 ensure the public availability of such data, and, where necessary,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 2021using the WLTP test. The Commission should have the powers to ensure the public availability of such data, and to develop the procedures needed for identifying and collecting the fuel consumption 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))
