2011/0409(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1

(1) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured. To that end a comprehensive Union type-approval system for motor vehicles is in place. The technical requirements for the type- approval of motor vehicles and their exhaust systems with regard to permissible sound levels should be harmonised to avoid the adoption of requirements that differ from one Member State to another and to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market while, at the same time, providing for a high level of environmental protection and public safety. The Commission should also undertake an impact assessment regarding the labelling conditions applicable to air and noise pollution levels. This impact assessment should take into consideration the different types of vehicles covered by this Regulation (including electric vehicles) as well as the effect that such labelling could have on the car industry. In fact, while such labelling could be considered a useful tool for raising awareness among consumers and protecting their rights as regards transparency prior to the purchase of a vehicle, it could seriously and adversely affect the car industry on cost grounds. The impact assessment should therefore evaluate the cost- effectiveness of this tool.

Committee: ENVI

2011/0409(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6

(6) This Regulation should therefore introduce a different method in relation to the compulsory one of Directive 70/157/EEC. That method should be based on the method published by the UNECE Working Party on Noise (GRB) in 2007 which incorporated a 2007 version of the standard ISO 362. The results of monitoring of both the old and the new test methods were submitted to the Commission. Furthermore, in order to overcome the shortcomings inherent in the previous test method, the Commission should, within 24 months of the entry into force of this Regulation, submit an impact assessment to the European Parliament and to the Council on the effective contribution of tyre rolling equipment in reducing the noise level of vehicles, focussing on the road surface impact, and the research needs in this specific field, in view of adopting a new European test method which also takes into account road surface behaviour.

Committee: ENVI

2011/0409(COD)

Recital 8

(8) This Regulation should also further reduce noise limits. It should take account of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor , which introduced new stricter noise requirements for motor vehicle tyres and which underlined the need for a coherent and comprehensive approach to addressing the problem of road noise, including taking into account the contribution of "silent" road surfaces and noise reducing materials in mitigating the road traffic sound level. This horizontal approach will more efficiently reduce the overall road traffic noise compared to a sectoral and vertical approach. Studies highlighting the annoyance and health effects from road traffic noise, and the associated costs and benefits should also be heeded.

Committee: ENVI

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10

(10) The environmental benefits expected from hybrid electric and pure electric road transport vehicles have resulted in a substantial reduction of the noise emitted by such vehicles. This has resulted in the removal of an important source of audible signal that is used by blind and low vision pedestrians and cyclists, amongst other road users, to become aware of the approach, presence or departure of these vehicles. For that purpose, industry is developing acoustic systems to compensate for this lack of audible signal in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The performance of approaching vehicle audible systems fitted to vehicles should be harmonised. The fitting of such systems should however, remain an option at the discretion of vehicle manufacturers. The adequate audibility of electric cars should be assured by a minimum noise level - not only with regard to public health and road safety but also with respect to particularly vulnerable groups such as pedestrians and people with disabilities.

A key added value of research and innovation funded at the Union level is the possibility to disseminate and communicate results on a continent wide scale to enhance their impact. Horizon 2020 will therefore include, under all of its specific objectives, dedicated support to dissemination (including through open access to research results), communication and dialogue actions, with a strong emphasis on communicating results to end- users, citizens, civil society organisations, industry and policy makers. To this extent, Horizon 2020 may make use of networks for information transfer. Communication activities undertaken in the context of Horizon 2020 will also seek to raise public awareness on the importance of research and innovation by means of publications, events, knowledge repositories, databases, websites or a targeted use of social media. In order to simplify the access to information and to develop an instrument with all the information demanded by the research community and, having regard the need for a transparency, Cordis, as a digital instrument should be revised and reformed in a more clear and flexible way.

Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – point 3.1.3 – paragraph 1

Urban areas are one of the largest consumers of energy in the Union and emit a correspondingly large share of greenhouse gases, while generating a substantial amount of air pollutants. In that context, there is a need of promoting integrated systemic urban development strategies that take into account: energy efficiency, accessibility, green spaces, adaptation of habitats and social integration. At the same time, urban areas are affected by decreasing air quality and climate change and have to develop their own mitigation and adaptation strategies. Finding innovative energy solutions (energy efficiency, electricity and heating and cooling supply systems), integrated with transport, waste and water treatment as well as ICT solutions for the urban environment are therefore crucial in the transformation towards a low carbon society. Targeted initiatives in support to the convergence of industrial value chains of the energy, transport and ICT sector for smart urban applications need to be envisaged. At the same time, new technological, organisational, planning and business models need to be developed and tested at full scale according to the needs and means of cities and communities. Research is also needed to understand the social, economic and cultural issues that are involved in this transformation.

The theme of smart, green and integrated transport has been identified as one of the major societal challenges which will be addressed within the framework of Horizon 2020. The 2011 Transport White Paper further reinforces the importance of taking action in this domain during the next decade. Urban mobility is a particularly challenging task. It should be addressed through a truly integrated and holistic approach, taking explicitly into account the interaction with the other topics in a spatial context. It addresses a number of topics such as transport (including new mobility concepts, transport organisation, logistics, transport systems safety and security), environmental issues (reduction of greenhouse gases, air pollution and noise) urban planning, urban and natural landscape (new concepts for bringing work and living closer together), cultural heritage and has an important impact both at the economic and social levels (new business creation, employment, social inclusion, housing and location strategies). The overarching aim is to improve the quality of life of European citizens who – in increasing numbers – live in large urban conglomerations where much of Europe's economic performance is generated.13

Article 10 – paragraph 1

1. By 1 January 2014, Member States shall establish and notify to the Commission a national heating and cooling plan for developing the potential for the application of high-efficiency cogeneration and efficient district heating and cooling~~, containing the information set out in Annex VII.~~. Each national plan shall identify: (a) national cogeneration development targets for year 2020 and corresponding intermediate targets; (b) district heating promotion areas for which cost-benefit analysis have identified cogeneration potential; (c) the information set out in Annex VII. (d) The plans should be based on a comprehensive costs/benefits analysis for each of the planned investments, taking into account the existing level of heat demand and evaluating the different consumption profiles (e. g. industrial, residential or tertiary consumption patterns). Moreover, different types of cogeneration (micro, for self- consumption…) should be considered on the basis of the specificities of different national demand and consumption patterns. (e) The plans shall be updated and notified to the Commission every five years. Member States shall ensure by means of their regulatory framework that national heating and cooling plans are taken into account in local and regional development plans, including urban and rural spatial plans, and fulfil the design criteria in Annex VII.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15

(15) A limited number of categories of food constitutes the sole source of nourishment of certain groups of the population or represent a partial source of nourishment; such categories of food are vital for the management of certain conditions and/or are essential to maintain the intended nutritional adequacy for certain well-established vulnerable groups of the population. Those categories of food include infant formulae and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food ~~and~~, food for special medical purposes, and foods for people intolerant to gluten. Experience has shown that the provisions laid down in Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC, ~~as well as~~ Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation 41/2009 ensure the free movement of such food in a satisfactory manner, while ensuring a high level of protection of public health. It is therefore appropriate that this Regulation focuses on the general compositional and information requirements for infant formula and follow-on formulae, processed cereal- based food and baby food for infants and young children ~~and to~~, food for special medical purposes, and foods for people intolerant to gluten, taking into account Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC ~~and~~ Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19

(19) This Regulation should provide the criteria for the establishment of the specific compositional and information requirements for infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food, ~~and~~ food for special medical purposes, and foods for people intolerant to gluten, taking into account Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC ~~and~~, Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009. In order to adapt the definitions of infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food, ~~and~~ food for special medical purposes, and foods for people intolerant to gluten laid down in this Regulation taking into account technical and scientific progress and relevant developments at international level, to lay down the specific compositional and information requirements with respect to the categories of food covered by this Regulation, including for additional labelling requirements to, or derogations from, the provisions of Directive 2000/13/EC and for the authorisation of nutrition and health claims, 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. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries 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 Council.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20

(20) It is appropriate to establish and update a Union list of ~~vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other substances that may be added~~substances that may be added for specific nutritional purposes to infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby foods, ~~and~~ food for special medical purposes, and foods for people intolerant to gluten, taking into account Regulation (EC) No. 953/2009, Commission Directives 2006/141/EC and 2006/125/EC, subject to certain criteria laid down in this Regulation. Given the fact that the adoption of the list implies the application of criteria set out in this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in that respect. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers. The Commission should adopt immediately applicable implementing acts updating the Union list, where, in duly justified cases relating to public health, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

Recital 26

(26) Currently, the statements ‘'gluten-free’' and ‘'very low gluten’' may be used for food ~~intended for particular nutritional uses and for food for normal consumptio~~s for specialised nutrition intended for people intolerant to gluten under the rules specified in article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 concerning the composition and labelling of foodstuffs suitable for people intolerant to gluten. ~~Such statements could be construed as nutrition claims, as de~~In addition, the statement 'gluten-free' may be used for foodstuffs for normal consumption and other foods for specialised nutrition suitable for people intolerant to gluten under the rules specifined in Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. For the sake of simplification, those statements should be regulated solely by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and comply with requirements therein. It is necessary that technical adaptations pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, incorporating the nutrition claims ‘gluten-free’ and ‘very low gluten’ and their associated conditions of use as regulated under Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 be completed prior to the entry into application ofarticle 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 concerning the composition and labelling of foodstuffs suitable for people intolerant to gluten which do not allow the use of the statement 'very low gluten' for these foods. Such foods for specialized nutrition intended for people intolerant to gluten shall be maintained in this Regulation, as providing such safe foods intended for people intolerant to gluten and informing coeliacs about the absence of gluten is vital to the management of the disease. This is in line with the international standard for foods for special dietary use for persons intolerant to gluten (CODEX STAN 118-1979 revised in 2008). Also the conditions of use of the claim "gluten- free" for foods for normal consumption should be maintained in thise Regulation (CE) 41/2009.
