Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22

(22) Manufacturers' compliance with the targets under this Regulation should be assessed at the Community level. Manufacturers whose average specific emissions of CO2 exceed those permitted under this Regulation should pay an excess emissions premium in respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards. The premium should be modulated as a function of the extent to which manufacturers fail to comply with their target. It should increase over time. In order to provide a sufficient incentive to take measures to reduce specific emissions of CO2 from passenger cars, ~~the premium should reflect technological costs. The amounts of the excess emissions premium should be considered as revenue for the budget of the European Union~~but at the same time to ensure that the penalty is proportional by comparison with other sectors' CO2 emissions and consistent with other CO2-reduction instruments, the level of the premium should be based on the amount to be paid under the European emissions trading system.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 1

This Regulation establishes CO2 emission performance requirements for new passenger cars in order to ensure proper functioning of the internal market and achieve the EU's overall objective that the average new car fleet should achieve CO2 emissions of 120 g CO2/km. The Regulation sets the average CO2 emissions for new passenger cars at 130 g CO2/km by means of improvement in vehicle motor technology as measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing measures. This Regulation will be complemented by additional measures ~~corresponding to 10 g/km as part of the Community's integrated approach.~~ intended to achieve a further reduction of 10 g/km as part of the Community's integrated approach. In 2014, on the basis of a stock-taking exercise and a legislative impact assessment, the Commission shall propose medium- and long-term targets for newly- registered vehicles as from 2020 and submit them to the Council and Parliament for a decision. At the same time, the Commission shall submit a proposal for a comprehensive approach to identifying all measures to reduce CO2 emissions, with the aim of removing the distinction between engine-/vehicle- related and additional measures and eco- innovations. A target shall be set for 2020 which guarantees, through the aggregate impact of all relevant measures, a reduction in average CO2 emissions of at least 20% by comparison with 2008. In that connection, the Commission shall take account of the possible incorporation of road transport into the European emissions trading system, as proposed in the context of the revision of that trading system. As the basis for this proposal, a comprehensive assessment of the implications for the automobile industry and for upstream sectors shall be drawn up. This shall include a cost-benefit analysis, in the light of all relevant technological innovations designed to reduce CO2 emissions, covering all segments of the car market. When a long-term target is set, due account shall be taken of developments relating to international climate protection agreements.

Article 9 a (new)

Article 9a Eco-innovations 1. The committee to be set up pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation shall take decisions on applications for the recognition of eco-innovations, including the CO2 reduction resulting from the use of a technology. 2. Manufacturers within the meaning of Article 3 or component suppliers which manufacture a technology may submit applications for recognition of eco- innovations. Such applications must contain data on the CO2 reduction achieved through the use of the technology which are certified by an independent body. The technical agencies referred to in Article 41 of Directive 2007/46/EC may act as certifying independent bodies. 3. In connection with the monitoring of this Regulation, eco-innovations shall receive CO2 bonuses on the basis of their inclusion as standard components in vehicle types or versions of vehicle types. The overall level of the bonuses granted to a manufacturer in respect of eco- innovations shall be limited to 10% of the manufacturer's target as calculated pursuant to Annex I. 4. Independently of this procedure, the work on revising the test cycle, parallel to the offsetting of eco-innovations, shall continue so as to ensure that their CO2 reduction potential is reflected in the test cycle in the long term. 5. When it carries out the revision of the directive pursuant to Article 1, the Commission, as part of the impact assessment, shall submit a comprehensive assessment of the reductions in CO2 emissions achieved by means of eco- innovations in order to ensure that in subsequent years due account is taken of all CO2 reduction measures when assessing whether manufacturers have achieved their targets. 6. The committee set up pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation shall check that the application for recognition of an eco-innovation is complete and, within three months following submission of the application documents, take a decision on offsetting in respect of the eco-innovation. In that connection, the Commission shall submit a proposal to the committee. The applicant may lodge an appeal with the Commission against the committee's decision within one month following notification of that decision. The Commission shall submit that appeal to the committee, which shall consider it within three months and take a decision. All decisions on the offsetting of eco- innovations shall be published by the Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Annex II a (new)

ANNEX IIa Procedure for offsetting the emission reduction potentials of eco-innovations 1. The Commission shall appoint an expert committee ('the eco-innovation assessment committee'), composed of representatives of the relevant Commission departments, which shall take decisions on applications from manufacturers to offset emission reduction potentials against specific CO2 emissions. The committee may co-opt external experts and shall report quarterly to the committee appointed pursuant to Article 12. 2. Where necessary, the committee shall hold quarterly hearings to approve the specific emission reduction potentials of technical measures and take decisions on the applications concerned. Appeals against the committee’s decisions shall be admissible. 3. To be considered for offsetting against a manufacturer’s specific emission targets, measures (a) must make a measurable contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, (b) must be clearly assignable to the CO2 emissions of a specific vehicle type or to a defined number of vehicles of that type, (c) must not be essential for type-approval under Directive 2007/46/EC or other EU legal requirements, (d) and must bring about reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that are not reflected in the results of the test procedure. 4. When applying for offsetting in respect of eco-innovations, vehicle manufacturers must furnish reliable data on the following points: (a) the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the measure (expressed in CO2-equivalent); (b) documentary proof that the measure is not essential for type-approval; (c) documentary proof that the effects of the measure are not or not sufficiently reflected in the consumption and emissions figures established at type- approval; (d) a statement as to whether and to what extent the effects of the measure correlate with the vehicle’s weight or whether the effects are the same for all vehicles regardless of weight. 5. When applying for a correction of its specific emissions target for a particular year, the manufacturer must submit, in addition to details of a measure’s recognised greenhouse gas reductions, a proposal as to how these reductions can be assigned to particular models or to the whole of the manufacturer’s model range. 6. The stated CO2- or greenhouse gas- reduction potential must be confirmed by an independent body. This body must (a) be a reliable and approved testing institution; (b) offer guarantees of neutrality and automobile technology expertise in connection with the assessment of greenhouse gas reduction measures. All institutions which are notified under Article 41 of Directive 2007/46/EC shall be regarded as approved to carry out these tasks. 7. On the basis of a measure’s specific CO2 or greenhouse gas reductions, the confirmation by the independent body must include documentary proof that the following points have been checked: (a) the technical effects of the measure on greenhouse gas emissions (expressed in CO2-equivalent); (b) the reliability of the data provided by the manufacturer and/or component supplier; (c) the possible interaction (including trade-offs) with other measures included in the type-approval procedure, or other measures for which an offsetting has been requested or already granted; (d) the effects of driver behaviour on the emissions reduction that can be achieved by means of the measure under realistic conditions; (e) the reliability of the data in relation to the vehicle types that are fitted with the measure, the number of such vehicles that are registered and the associated effects on the manufacturer’s average CO2 emissions. 7.1. The committee set up pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation must check that the application for recognition of an eco-innovation is complete and, within three months following submission of the application documents, take a decision on offsetting in respect of the eco-innovation. In that connection, the Commission shall submit a proposal to the committee. The applicant may lodge an appeal with the Commission against the committee's decision within one month following notification of that decision. The Commission must submit that appeal to the committee, which must consider it within three months and take a decision. All decisions on the offsetting of eco- innovations shall be published by the Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union. 8. If an application for an extension is approved for a calendar year, and the measures have not in the meantime become mandatory under the type- approval procedure or other legal provisions, for the approval of offsetting in subsequent years documentary proof shall be provided only of the vehicle types that are fitted with this measure, the number of registered vehicles of this type and the associated effects on the manufacturer’s average CO2 emissions. 9. Automobile component suppliers can apply for confirmation of the CO2 and greenhouse gas reduction potential of a particular measure if they provide the relevant documentary proof and the certificates issued by independent experts pursuant to paragraph 3 (a) to (d), paragraph 4 (a) to (d), and paragraph 7 (a) to (d) of this Annex. 10. If a manufacturer’s application for offsetting refers to a reduction potential for a specific measure that has already been approved for a component supplier, the manufacturer need only produce documentary proof pursuant to paragraph 5 and a certificate issued by an independent expert pursuant to paragraph 7(e) of this Annex.
