Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) The legal framework for NGT plants should share the objectives of the Union GMO legislation to ensure a high level of protection of human and animal health and of the environment and the good functioning of the internal market for the concerned plants and products, while addressing the specificity of NGT plants. This legal framework should enable theallow for flexibility and adaptation to ensure the continued yet monitored development and placing on the market of plants, food and feed containing, consisting of or produced from NGT plants and other products containing or consisting of NGT plants (‘NGT products’) so as to contribute to the innovation and sustainability objectives of the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork, Biodiversity and Climate Adaptation strategies and to enhance the competitiveness ofin order to enhance the competitiveness and profitability of companies especially small and medium- sized enterprises in the Union agri-food sector at Union and world level.

Amendment 182 #

2023/0226(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18
(18) Since the criteria for considering that a NGT plant is equivalent to naturally occurring or conventionally bred plants are unrelated to the type of activity that requires the deliberate release of the NGT plant, a declaration of the category 1 NGT plant status made prior to its deliberate release for any other purpose than placing on the market in the territory of the Union should also be valid for the placing on the market of related NGT products. In view of the high uncertainty existing at the field trial stage about the product reaching the market and the likely involvement of smaller operators in such releases, the verification procedure of category 1 NGT plant status prior to field trials should be conducted by national competent authorities as this would be less administratively burdensome for operators, and a decision should be taken at Union level only in case there are comments to the verification report by other national competent authorities. Where the verification request is submitted prior to the placing on the market of NGT products, the procedure should be conducted at Union levelin consultation with the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) only if there are reasoned objections by other Member States in order to ensure effectiveness of the verification procedure and consistency of the category 1 NGT plant status declarations.

Recital 18 a (new)
(18a) With a view to effectively selecting new varieties that help the agricultural sector to increase food security and sustainability and to adapt to and ensure resilience to the consequences of climate change, the specific nature of polyploid plants – those containing more than two genomes – needs to be considered. This is the case, for instance, with wheat, potato, sugar beet, banana, kiwi, peanut, rapeseed, etc. For polyploid plants, the maximum number of genetic modifications allowed for inclusion in category 1 NGT should be proportionate to the number of genomes they contain.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26
(26) Category 2 NGT plants and products, in order to be released into the environment or placed on the market, should remain subject to a consent or authorisation in accordance with Directive 2001/18/EC or Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. However, given the wide variety of those NGT plants, the amount of information necessary for the risk assessment will vary on a case-by-case basis. The Authority, in its scientific opinions on plants developed through cisgenesis and intragenesis48 and on plants developed through targeted mutagenesis49 recommended flexibility in data requirements for the risk assessment of these plants. Based on the Authority’s ‘Criteria for risk assessment of plants produced by targeted mutagenesis, cisgenesis and intragenesis’ (50 ), considerations on the history of safe use, familiarity for the environment and the function and structure of the modified/inserted sequence(s) should assist in determining the type and amount of data required to perform the risk assessment of those NGT plants. It is therefore necessary to establish general principles and criteria for the risk assessment of these plants, while providing for flexibility and possibility to adapt risk assessment methodologies to scientific and technical progress. As per EFSA’s considerations in the above-mentioned document on criteria for risk assessment, the concept and utility of the history of safe use should be clarified, giving recognition of safety records in third countries. _________________ 48 EFSA GMO Panel (EFSA Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms), Mullins E, Bresson J-L, Dalmay T, Dewhurst IC, Epstein MM, Firbank LG, Guerche P, Hejatko J, Moreno FJ, Naegeli H, Nogué F, Sánchez Serrano JJ, Savoini G, Veromann E, Veronesi F, Casacuberta, J, Fernandez Dumont A, Gennaro A, Lenzi, P, Lewandowska A, Munoz Guajardo IP, Papadopoulou N and Rostoks N, 2022.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 36
(36) Herbicide tolerant plants are bred to be intentionally tolerant to herbicides, in order to be cultivated in combination with the use of those herbicides. If such cultivation is not done under appropriate conditions, it may lead to development of weeds resistant to those herbicides or to the need to increase of quantities of herbicides applied, regardless of the breeding technique. For this reason, NGT plants featuring herbicide-tolerant traits should not be eligible for incentives under this framework. However, this Regulation should not take other specific measures on herbicide tolerant NGT plants, because such measures are taken horizontally in [the Commission’s Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the production and marketing of plant reproductive material in the Union].deleted

(28) Fragrance substances are organic compounds with characteristic, usually pleasant, odours, which are widely used in detergents but also in many other products such as perfumes and other perfumed cosmetics. Those substances could cause an allergic reaction upon contact, especially to sensitised persons, even when contained in low concentrations. Therefore, it is important to provide information on the presence of individual allergenic fragrances in detergents so that sensitised persons can avoid contact with the substance to which they are allergic. It is therefore necessary to lay down strict requirements for the labelling of allergenic fragrances. However, those substances could also trigger a labelling requirement under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Specific labelling requirements should therefore be established that would apply only when the labelling thresholds under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 are not met. This will not only prevent the unnecessary burden for economic operators but also ensure that end-users receive this information presented in a clear manner thus providing a high level of protection of human health even for sensitised persons. As the fragrance allergens established in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 are directly applicable to detergents under this Regulation, the same transition periods should apply to both cosmetic and detergent products.

(31) Digital labelling could improve the communication of labelling information both by avoiding overcrowded physical labels and by allowing users to rely on various reading options available only for digital formats, such as increased font, automatic search, loud speakers or translation into other languages. Providing digital labels could also lead to a more efficient management of the labelling obligations by economic operators, by facilitating the update of labelling information, reducing labelling costs and permitting a more targeted information of users. Therefore, economic operators should be allowed to provide certain labelling information only through the digital label subject to certain conditions to ensure a high level of protection of detergents’ users.

For this reason, the specific information to be provided only in a digital label should reflect the current state of the digitalisation of the society and the particular situation of detergents users. In addition, all the labelling information concerning the protection of health and the environment, as well as minimum use instructions of detergents, should remain on the physical label, to enable all end- users to make informed choices before buying the detergent and to ensure its safe handling.

(37) Since detergents have the same use and present the same risks irrespective of the format in which they are made available on the market, economic operators making detergents available on the market in a refill format should ensure that these comply with the same requirements as the pre-packaged ones. In addition, consumers should receive the required labelling information also when opting for refilled detergents. A physical copy of the label should always be visible at the refill station. The refill sale of detergents should, therefore, be explicitly covered by this Regulation in order to ensure a high level of protection of health and the environment and a level playing field for economic operators.

(3) In light of the close link between the quality of honey and its origin and the need for the consumer not to be misled regarding the quality of the product, Directive 2001/110/EC lays down rules on the labelling of the origin where the honey has been harvested. In particular, Article 2(4) of that Directive requires the country or countries of origin where the honey has been harvested to be indicated on the label and provides that, if honey originates in more than one Member State or third country, the mandatory indication of the countries of origin may be replaced by one of the following, as appropriate: ‘blend of EU honeys’, ‘blend of non-EU honeys’, ‘blend of EU and non-EU honeys’. The different rules adopted on this basis by Member States may have misled consumers and may have hindered the functioning of the internal market. In the light of the objectives of the Green Deal and of the Farm to Fork Strategy’s objective of strengthening consumers in making informed choices, including on the geographic origin of their food, and in the interest to preserve the efficient functioning of the internal market throughout the Union through a harmonisation of the labelling rules, it is appropriate to revise the rules for honey origin labelling and provide that the country or countries of origin should be mentioned on the packagingin decreasing order on the packaging. Given the particular interest shown by consumers in the geographical origin of honey in relation to its characteristics and quality, and the need for complete transparency in this sector, the country or countries of origin where the honey was harvested must appear on the label in the same field of vision as the product indication. In light of the reduced size of the packs containing only a single portion of honey (breakfast packs) and the resulting technical difficulties, it is therefore appropriate to exempt those packs from the obligation of listing all individual countries of origin, where the honey originates in more than one country.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 b (new)
(3b) Recognising that the term ‘filtered honey’ used in Directive 2001/110 is misunderstood by consumers, who confuse this industrial filtration with filtration carried out by beekeepers after extracting their honey to remove wax particles and other foreign elements from honey. Consequently, filtered honeys as defined in Directive 2001/110/EC should no longer be authorised for marketing under the name ‘honey’ and the definition of ‘filtered honey’ should be removed from the text of the Directive. Noting that the removal by filtration of a part or all of the pollen and figurative elements present in honey and a filter mesh size of less than 100 µm no longer enables correct identification of the geographical and/or botanical origin of a honey. This makes it much more difficult to distinguish between sugar syrup, or a blend of honey and syrup, and honey. Industrial filtration makes it impossible to trace honey using an analytical approach such as melissopalynology. Emphasising that Annex II to Directive 2001/110 should be amended to specify the permitted level of filtration, i.e. which should not significantly alter the density and pollen spectrum of honey, but rather removes most of the foreign substances present in honey.

2023/0105(COD)

(3c) Pointing out that both the definition of honey in Directive 2001/110 EC and that of the Codex Alimentarius clearly specify the work done by bees in the hive after they have harvested their crop, which they transform by combining it with their own specific materials, deposit, dehydrate, store, and leave to ripen in the combs of the hive. Dehydration followed by ripening are operations carried out by bees. Outside the European Union, some countries accept that the work of bees in the production of honey is limited to harvesting nectar secretions from plants or honeydew. Unripe honeys produced in this way have a moisture content well in excess of the 20% threshold laid down in Directive 2001/110/EC. Operators work with heated vats under a vacuum to limit the boiling temperature of the water in the honey. However, this process degrades the final product by depleting its flavourings and enzymes. Insisting that the Honey Directive should prohibit this vacuum evaporation process for honeys.

Recital 3 d (new)
(3d) Noting with concern that heat treatment above 40 °C (± 5 °C) causes degradation of certain constituents of honey. The indicators currently used, namely HMF and the diastase index, make it possible to assess the significant degradation of honeys, but do not make it possible to show the degradation of more sensitive honey constituents, such as invertase. The consumer must be able to distinguish between honeys that have not been exposed to treatments involving heating above 40°C (± 5°C) and other honeys. The words ‘virgin honey or unheated honey’ must therefore appear on the label. In order to check that the honey has not been degraded by heat treatment, a minimum threshold must be set for the honey’s invertase content as this is a much more sensitive enzyme that degrades very quickly at high temperatures.

(7) Therefore, considering, in particular, that consumers are increasingly aware of health concerns linked to the consumption of sugar, it is appropriate to revise the rules on the use of statements on sugar for fruit juices to allow consumers to make informed choices. It is therefore appropriate to reintroduce, without a time limitation, the possibility for the industry to use the statement indicating that no fruit juices contain added sugars or, on the contrary, that the fruit juices do contain added sugars.

Recital 9
(9) Such products are becoming increasingly available on the Union market. In order to facilitate the placing on the internal market of those products, taking also into account the need to encourage product reformulation to reduce the amount of sugars present in fruit juices, a new category of products should be created for fruit juices whose naturally occurring sugars have been entirely or partially removed while keeping all the other essential physical, chemical, organoleptic and nutritional characteristics. These products should bear the product name ‘reduced-sugar fruit juice’ or ‘reduced-sugar fruit juice from concentrate’ and to have a Brix level lower than that of the juice extracted from the fruit. In order to ensure consistency with Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 the reduction of sugar content should be at least 30 % compared to fruit juice and fruit juice from concentrate. It is therefore appropriate to add the new category of products in Part I of Annex I to Directive 2001/112/EC as well as to lay down rules on the authorised ingredients for those products, as well as the authorised treatments and substances.deleted

In order to support the production and marketing of fruit, while taking into account the need to stimulate product reformulation to reduce the amount of sugars present in fruit nectars, the proportion of sugars and/or honey that may be added to fruit nectars that are naturally low in acidity and palatable should be lowered.

(8) In order to contribute to the reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990 and in conformity with the energy efficiency first principle, it is necessary to strengthenassess the reduction requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 for heavy-duty vehicles, by an intensive use of carbon neutral fuels. A clear pathway also needs to be set for further reductions beyond 2030 to contribute to achieving the climate neutrality objective by 2050.

(15) Due to the heterogeneous structure of the total truck fleet, it is not possible to fully predict whether for all niche uses, technological developments will be quick enough to ensure that zero-emission tailpipe technology isand that vehicles powered by carbon neutral fuels are a viable choice. This may include uses such as long-haul heavy- duty vehicles in specific territorial morphology and meteorological circumstances, coaches and lorries for critical security and safety applications that cannot be fulfilled by zero-emission tailpipe technologies. The vehicles in question should constitute a limin adequated share of the entire heavy-duty vehicle fleet, on the basis of typology of missions. In view of such considerations, some margin in the 204028 target should be left to accommodate developments in technology yet to occur. For this reason it is vital to consider the full life-cycle CO2 emissions from heavy-duty vehicles at Union level. Therefore, at the latest one year after the entry into force of the Regulation, the Commission should evaluate the possibility of developing a common Union methodology for the assessment and the consistent data reporting of the full life-cycle CO2 emissions of heavy-duty vehicles placed on the Union market. Where appropriate, the Commission should adopt follow-up measures, including legislative proposals.

(17) With the stricter Union fleet-wide targets from 2030 onwards, manufacturers will have to deploy significantly more zero-emission vehicles on the Union market. In that context, the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles (‘ZLEV’) would no longer serve its original purpose and would risk undermining the effectiveness of Regulation (EU) 2019/1242. The ZLEV incentive mechanism should therefore be removed as of 20340.

(8a) Lead and its inorganic compounds are an indispensable component in the construction and restoration of musical instruments, in particular for pipe organs, recognised by UNESCO as Imtangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It can therefore be expected that the musical instrument production and restoration sector will have difficulties in conforming, in the short term, to the biological limit value of 15 µg/100ml blood, together with an occupational exposure limit value of 0.03 mg/m³ expressed as a time-weighted average of eight hours. A five-year transitional period should therefore be introduced for that sector, during which a biological limit value of 40 µg/100ml blood and the occupational exposure limit value of 0.05 mg/m³ expressed as a time- weighted average of eight hours should apply.

The data for the individual substances of the mixture or for the individual constituents of the multi- constituent substance should therefore normally be used as the basis for hazard identification of those multi-constituent substances or mixtures. However, in certain cases, data on those multi- constituent substances themselves may also be relevant. This is the case in particular where that data demonstrates endocrine disrupting properties for human health and the environment, as well as persistent, bioaccumulative and mobile properties, or where it supports data on the individual constituents. Therefore, it is appropriate that data on multi-constituent substances are used in those casboth whole substance data and data for the individual constituents of the substance with more than one constituent, impurity or additive should be used as the basis for hazard classification of those substances.

(11) An item, which is an integral part of a product and is necessary to contain, support or preserve that product throughout its lifetime and where all elements are intended to be used, consumed or disposed of together, should not be considered as being packaging given that its functionality is intrinsically linked to it being part of the product. However, in light of the disposal behaviour of consumers regarding tea and coffee bags as well as coffee or tea system single-serve units, which in practice are disposed of together with the product residue leading to the contamination of compostable and recycling streams, those specific items should be treated as packaging. This is in line with the objective to increase the separate collection of bio-waste, as required by Article 22 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council41. Furthermore, to ensure coherence regarding end-of-life financial and operational obligations, also all coffee or tea system single-serve units necessary to contain coffee or tea should be treated as packaging. _________________ 41 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3).

(20) Designing packaging with the objective of its recycling, once it becomes packaging waste, is one the most efficient measures to improve the packaging circularity and raise packaging recycling rates and the use of recycled content in packaging, while ensuring marketing and consumer acceptance. Packaging design for recycling criteria have been established for a number of packaging formats under voluntary industry schemes or by some Member States for the purpose of the modulation of extended producer responsibility fees. In order to prevent barriers to the internal market and provide industry with a level playing field, and with the objective to promote the sustainability of packaging ensuring marketing and consumer acceptance, it is important to set mandatory requirements regarding the recyclability of packaging, by harmonising the criteria and the methodology for assessing packaging recyclability based on a design for recycling methodology at the Union level. In order to meet the objective set out in the CEAP that, by 2030, all packaging should be recyclable or reusable, in an economically viable manner, packaging recyclability performance grades should be established based on design for recycling criteria for packaging categories as listed in Annex II. However, packaging should comply with them only as of 1 January 2030 in order to give sufficient time to the economic operators to adapt.

Furthermore, where appropriate waste collection schemes and waste treatment infrastructures are available in a Member State as required by Article 22 of Directive 2008/98, there should be a limited flexibility in deciding whether to mandate the use of compostable plastics for lightweight plastic carrier bags on its territory. In order to avoid consumer confusion about the correct disposal and considering the environmental benefit of circularity of the carbon, all other plastic packaging not labeled as compostable should go into material recycling and the design of such packaging should ensure that it does not affect the recyclability of other waste streams.

(40) Packaging should be designed, where relevant for a given shape, so as to minimise its volume and weight while maintaining its ability to perform the packaging functions, including those referred to in Article 3 (1). The manufacturer of packaging should assess the packaging against the performance criteria, as listed in Annex IV of this Regulation. In view of the objective of this Regulation to reduce packaging and packaging waste generation and to improve circularity of packaging across the internal market, it is appropriate to further specify the existing criteria and to make them more stringent. The list of the packaging performance criteria, as listed in the existing harmonised standard EN 13428:200057, should therefore be modified. While marketing and consumer acceptance remain relevant for packaging designpresentation,design and differentiation functionality, they should not be part ofthe mainperformance criteria justifying on their own additional packaging weight and volume. However, this should not compromise product or packagingspecifications for craft and industrial products and food , beveragesand agricultural products that are registered aundprotected under theEU geographical indication protection schemeer or otherwiseprotected by Union intellectual property law orEU geographical indication protection schemes, including third country geographical indication/products that have been given distinctive recognition by the Union, as part of the Union’s objective to protect intellectual property,cultural heritage and traditional know- how.Traditional packaging associated with products that have been given distinctive recognition or are subject to geographical indications of origin protection shall nevertheless look to reduce packaging weight to the lowest weight possible whilst protecting the shape of the packaging in line with the overall ambitions of this proposal. On the other hand, recyclability, the use of recycled content, and re-use may justify additional packaging weight or volume, and should be added to the performance criteria. Packaging with double walls, false bottoms and other characteristics only aimed to increase the perceived product volume should not be placed on the market, as it does not meet the requirement for packaging minimisation. The same rule should apply to superfluous packaging not necessary for ensuring packaging functionality. _________________ 57 Packaging – Requirements specific to manufacturing and composition – Prevention by source reduction.

(67) In order to reduce the increasing proportion of packaging that is single use and the growing amounts of packaging waste generated, it is necessary to establish quantitative re-use and refill targets on packaging in sectors, which have been assessed as having the greatest potential for packaging waste reduction, namely food and beverages for take-away, large- white goods and some transport packaging. This was appraised based on factors such as existing systems for re-use, necessity of using packaging and the possibility of fulfilling the functional requirements in terms of containment, tidiness, health, hygiene and safety. Differences of the products and their production and distribution systems, were also taken into account. The setting of the targets is expected to support the innovation and increase the proportion of re-use and refill solutions. The use ofIn accordance with Article 4(2) of Directive 2008/98/EC, restriction shall not apply for single -use packaging for food and beverages filled and consumed within the premises in the HORECA sector should not be alloweddelivering a better overall environmental outcome justified by life cycle thinking, as well as a better overall economic and health impact.

Recital 68
(68) To increase their effectiveness and ensure the equal treatment of economic operators, the re-use and refill targets should be placed on the economic operators. In cases of targets for beverages, they should be additionally placed also on the manufacturers, as these actors are able to control the packaging formats used for the products they offer and decide based on thorough consideration of logistics, environmental, technical, industrial and consumer criteria. The targets should be calculated as a percentage of sales in reusable packaging within a system for re- use or through refill or, in case of transport packaging, as a percentage of uses. The targets should be material neutral. A detailed assessment should be carried out to ensure that reuse targets can be implemented in a safe, economically viable and environmentally sustainable way that would bring tangible benefits compared to recyclable alternatives. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of targets for re-use and refill, the power to adopt an implementing act in accordance with Article 291 of the Treaty on the methodology for their calculation, should be delegated to the Commission.

(98) Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council66lays down rules on the traceability of traders, which more specifically contain obligations for providers of online platforms allowing consumers to conclude distance contracts with producers offering packaging to consumers located in the Union. In order to prevent free-riding from the extended producer responsibility obligations, it should be specified how such providers of online platforms should fulfil those obligations with regard to the registers of packaging producers established pursuant to this Regulation. In that context, providers of online platforms, falling within the scope of Section 4 of Chapter 3 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, allowing consumers to conclude distance contracts with producers should obtain from those producers information about their compliance with the extended producer responsibility rules set out in this Regulation. The rules on traceability of traders selling packaging online are subject to the enforcement rules set out in Regulation (EU) 2022/2065. As it can be difficult to supervise the concrete application of the obligations of the Regulation in the case of distance selling, particular attention should be paid to tools and control methods that ensure the proper implementation of the provisions. _________________ 66 Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 October 2022 on a Single Market For Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (Digital Services Act) (OJ L 277, 27.10.2022, p. 1).

(4) The technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, engines and replacement parts with regard to emissions (‘emission type-approval’) are currently set out in two Regulations that apply to emission type-approval for light- duty and heavy-duty vehicles respectively, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro 6’)44 and Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Euro VI’)45 . The reason for having two Regulations was that the emissions of heavy-duty vehicles were checked based on engine testing, while for light-duty vehicles the basis was whole vehicle testing. Since then, methodologies have been developed that allow testing of both light- and heavy-duty vehicles on the road. It is therefore no longer necessary to base type-approval on engine testing. _________________ 44 Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information (OJ L 171, 29.6.2007, p. 1). 45 Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC (OJ L 188, 18.7.2009, p. 1).

Consequently, this Regulation complements those technical requirements – which remain the basis for new tyre type approval - with tyre abrasion requirements. The test method to measure tyre abrasion as well as tyre abrasion limits are being developed in the UN. In order to adopt such test method, relevant definitions, and tyre abrasion limits, this Regulation will have to be supplemented by secondary legislation along with the manufacturers’ obligations and relevant timeline for implementation as well as transitional period for tyres manufactured after a certain date according to Article 11 paragraph 3a (new).

(12) Non-exhaust emissions consist of particles emitted by tyres and brakes of vehicles. Emissions from tyres is estimated to be the largest source of microplastics to the environment. As shown in the Impact Assessment, it is expected that by 2050, non-exhaust emissions will constitute up to 90% of all particles emitted by road transport, because exhaust particles will diminish due to vehicle electrification. Those non-exhaust emissions should therefore be measured and limited. The Commission should prepare a report on tyre abrasion by the end of 2024 to review the measurement methods and state-of-the- art in order to propose tyre abrasion limitsdeveloped in the UN with the view of ensuring consistency in the definition of tyre abrasion limits. In addition, the Report should include, to the extent possible, an impact assessment on tyre abrasion requirements, filling the gaps identified in this Regulation’s impact assessment.
