Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) The Regulation requires the Commission to carry out an impact assessment in order to review the test procedures to reflect adequately the real CO2 emissions behaviour of cars. This work is proceeding through the development of a World Light Duty Test procedure (‘WLTP’) in the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe but is not yet complete. In view of this, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 establishes emission limits for 2020 as measured according to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Annex XII to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008. When the test procedures are amendedIn order to enable manufacturers to plan in full knowledge of the provisions they will have to comply with, the existing test procedure will be retained until the end of 2020 for the purposes of this regulation. From 2021, the WLTP should replace the current test procedure. When the WLTP is applied in 2021 for the purposes of this regulation, the limits set in Annex I should be adjusted to ensure comparable stringency for manufacturers and classes of vehicles.

Recital 12
(12) The power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in order to supplement the rules on derogations from the specific emissions targets, to amend data requirements for the purpose of monitoring of CO2 emissions and to adjust the formulae for calculating the specific CO2 emissions in Annex I to changes in the vehicle mass value and the regulatory test procedure for the measurement of specific CO2 emissions referred to in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. 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.

Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point f
(2a) Article 3(1)(f) is replaced by the following: (f) ‘specific emissions of CO2’ means the CO2 emissions of a passenger car measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and specified as the CO2 mass emissions (combined) in the certificate of conformity. For passenger cars which are not type-approved in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, ‘specific emissions of CO2’ means the CO2 emissions measured in accordance with the same measurement procedure as specified for passenger cars in Regulation (EC) No 692/2008, or in accordance with the procedure adopted by the Commission to establish the CO2 emissions for such passenger cars; for the purposes of this Regulation, any amendments which are adopted in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Regulation (EC) No 692/2008, as well as in ECE Standards R 83 and R 101, which are taken as a basis and which enter into force from 1 January 2013, shall enter into force only with effect from 1 January 2021.’

(4a) in Article 8, paragraph 4 is replaced by the following: ‘(4) The Commission shall keep a central register of the data reported by Member States under this Article. The register shall be open for public inspection. By 30 June of each year, commencing in 2011, the Commission shall provisionally calculate the following for each manufacturer: (a) the average specific emissions of CO2 in the preceding calendar year; (b) the specific emissions target in the preceding calendar year; and (c) the difference between its average specific emissions of CO2 in the preceding calendar year as calculated pursuant to point (a) and its specific emissions target for that year. In addition, by 30 June each year, starting in 2016 and continuing up to and including 2023, the Commission shall provisionally calculate the following for each manufacturer: (a) the average specific emissions of CO2 in the preceding calendar year without taking into account the super-credits referred to in Article 5, (b) the difference between its average specific emissions of CO2 in the preceding calendar year as calculated pursuant to point (a) and its specific emissions target for that year. The Commission shall notify each manufacturer of its provisional calculation for that manufacturer. The notification shall include data for each Member State on the number of new passenger cars registered and their specific emissions of CO2.’

The Commission shall consider any notifications from manufacturers and may, by 31 October, either confirm or amend the provisional calculations under paragraph 4.’ From 1 January 2016 to 2023 inclusive, each manufacturer shall, within three months of communication of the provisional calculation pursuant to paragraph 4, inform the Commission whether the Commission should take account of the super-credit referred to in Article 5 for the purpose of calculating its average specific emissions of CO2 in the previous calendar year.

Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 14(2) of this Regulation." . The procedural provisions shall be based on the following criteria: (a) the supplier or manufacturer must be accountable for the CO2 savings achieved through the use of the innovative technologies or innovative technology packages; (b) the innovative technologies or innovative technology packages must make a verified contribution to CO2 reduction. Additional innovative technologies and innovative technology packages and their impact on the specific CO2 emissions of a passenger car may only be credited in relation to the proportion that operates outside the standard test cycle; the innovative technologies and innovative technology packages must not be covered by provisions due to the additional measures complying with the 10 g CO2/km reduction referred to in Article 1 or be mandatory under other provisions of Community law.’
