Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Greenhouse gas emissions from lorries, buses and coaches, i.e. heavy-duty vehicles, currently represent around a quarter of road transport emissions in the Union and are expected to increase further by 2030. Effective measures to independently control and curb emissions from heavy-duty vehicles need to be introduced in order to contribute to the necessary emission reductions in the transport sector.

Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) In its 2014 Communication on a Strategy for reducing Heavy-Duty Vehicles’ fuel consumption and CO2 emissions13, the Commission recognised that a prerequisite to introducing such measures is a regulated procedure for the determination of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. _________________ 13; all such emission and fuel consumption claims by the manufacturing sector need to be independently measured and verified. _________________ 13 COM(2014) 285 final. COM(2014) 285 final.

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Information on a vehicle’s performance in terms of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption need to be independently verified and should be made publicly available to enable all vehicle operators to take well-informed purchasing decisions. All vehicle manufacturers will be able to compare their vehicles’ performance with those of other makes. This will increase the incentives for innovation and therefore increase competitiveness. That information will also provide policy makers at Union and Member State level with a sound basis for developing policies to promote the uptake of more energy-efficient vehicles. It is therefore appropriate that the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption values determined for each new heavy-duty vehicle pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) […/…]15 [Opoce to include correct reference] are monitored, reported to the Commission and made available to the public. _________________ 15 Commission Regulation (EU) […/…] implementing Regulation (EU) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (OJ L…,..,..).

Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) In order to acquire a complete knowledge on the configuration of the heavy-duty vehicle fleet in the Union, its development over time and potential impact on CO2 emissions, it is appropriate to independently monitor and report data on the registration of all new heavy-duty vehicles and all new trailers, including data on the powertrains as well as the relevant bodywork.
Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Data on CO2 emissions and fuel consumption will be available for certain new heavy-duty vehicles that are registered in [2019]. Starting from that date, the competent authorities of the Member States should therefore be required to provide data on new registrations and manufacturers should be required to provide the independently verified technical data relating to those vehicles.
Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Technical data essential for determining the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption performance of a vehicle should be publicly available to increase the transparency of the vehicle specifications and the related performance, and to foster competition among manufacturers. Only data that are sensitive on the grounds of personal data protection and fair competition should not be published. However, it is clearly in the public interest that technical data essential for determining the performance of vehicles is available. Such data should thereforeIt is necessary, therefore, that such data is not be exempt from public access.

Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the independently- verified monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption from new heavy-duty vehicles in the Union, cannot be achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,
Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1
Article 1 – paragraph 1
This Regulation lays down the requirements for the independently- verified monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from and fuel consumption of new heavy-duty vehicles registered in the European Union.
Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1
Article 2 – paragraph 1
This Regulation shall apply to the independently-verified monitoring and reporting by Member States and manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles of data on new vehicles.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 7 – paragraph 1
Article 7 – paragraph 1
1. The competent authorities and manufacturers shall be responsible for the correctness and quality of the data they report pursuant to Articles 4 and 5; all such data relating to CO2 emissions and to fuel consumption shall be independently verified. They shall inform the Commission of any errors detected in the data reported without delay.
