(2) Although emissions of methane are not known to have a direct harmful effect on human health, methane is a strong greenhouse gas and significant ozone precursor which contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere. 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, in the framework of the revision of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council3a, after carrying out a clear and detailed impact assessment evaluating the proper conversion of methane emissions into CO2 emissions and its feasibility. __________________ 2 OJ C 182, 19.7.2008, p. 17.

(3a) The results of the test procedure that provides the basis of EC type approval emissions regulations should reflect emissions rates observed in real driving conditions. Therefore, emissions control systems and test cycles should be designed in real driving conditions, especially in urban areas where driving conditions vary.

(7) In order to achieve EU air quality objectives, as set out by the Air Quality Standards and by Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council5c, 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 limitamendment 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 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. __________________ 5cDirective 2008/50/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).

(7a) Following the impact assessment accompanying this Regulation, Commission should make a legislative proposal on introducing mandatory fuel consumption meters (FCM) for light duty (LD) and for heavy duty (HD) vehicles. It should consist of inter-switchable average-and momentary fuel consumption indicators in the dashboard instrumentation of vehicles. It should be also accompanied by the proposal to extend the mandatory installation of gear shift indicators (GSI) from only passenger cars to all LD and HD vehicles.
