Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) Potential purchasers should be provided with supplementary standardised information which explains each of the components of the label - fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise emissions - and their relevance, and includes a fuel savings calculator which demonstrates average savings of fuel, CO2 and costs. This information should be provided on the EU tyre labelling website and on explanatory leaflets and posters at all points of sale. The website address should be clearly indicated on the label and all technical promotional literature.

Amendment 36 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 20 a (new)
(20a) Member States should strive, in implementing the relevant provisions of this Directive, to refrain from measures that impose unjustified, bureaucratic and unwieldy obligations on SMEs, and, where feasible, to take into consideration the special needs and financial and administrative constraints on SMEs.

Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 3 a (new)
Article 3a Responsibilities of the Commission 1. The Commission shall establish and administer, no later than September 2010, the ‘EU tyre labelling website’ as a central source of explanatory information for each component of the label. Explanatory leaflets and posters with the same core content as the website shall be distributed to points of sale for tyres and vehicles. The leaflets and posters shall be provided in appropriate languages at the point of sale. The website, leaflets and posters shall include: (i) an explanation of the pictograms printed on the label; (ii) a fuel savings calculator which demonstrates potential savings of fuel, money and CO2 by fitting low rolling resistance tyres for C1, C2 and C3 tyre classes; (iii) a statement highlighting the fact that actual fuel savings and road safety heavily depend on drivers' behaviour, in particular the following: – eco-driving, which can significantly reduce fuel consumption; – tyre pressure, that should be regularly checked for higher wet grip and fuel efficiency performance characteristics; – stopping distances, that should always be strictly respected. 2. In order to communicate to the consumer the consequences of tyre choice for future fuel bills, the Commission shall establish for each class of tyres (C1, C2, C3) a formula that enables calculation of the extra fuel consumption or fuel savings during the lifetime of a full set of these tyres compared with a C-class tyre of the same category. These formulae shall use the following inputs: – estimate of the EU average lifetime, in km, of the tyre class; – estimate of the EU average real-life fuel consumption per km driven by a vehicle fitted with the tyre class concerned; – estimate of the percentage of fuel savings achieved per kg/tonne reduced rolling resistance for the vehicle fitted with the tyre class concerned The formulae and results in terms of fuel consumption, monetary costs and CO2 emissions shall be made available to the general public through the tyre labelling website and may be reproduced on the websites of tyre manufacturers, distributors and retailers. 3. The Commission shall provide guidelines for manufacturers, suppliers and distributors on how the relevant information from the label is to be presented in technical and promotional literature, including, if appropriate, recommendations for graphic design.

Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – point 4 a (new)
(4a) tyre manufacturers shall present measured values from the type approval test with regard to the rolling resistance coefficient (expressed in kg/t), wet grip index (expressed as a performance index, G, compared to the standard reference tyre) and noise emissions (expressed in dB(A)) in a publicly available database.

Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – point 4 b (new)
(4b) tyre manufacturers shall present measured values from the type approval test moulded into or onto each sidewall for each model with regard to rolling resistance coefficient (expressed in kg/t), wet grip index (expressed as a performance index, G, compared to the standard reference tyre) and noise emissions (expressed in dB(A)).
