Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) Achieving EU air quality objectives requires a continuing effort to reduce vehicle emissions. For that reason, industry should be provided with clear information on future emission limit values and be given adequate lead time to comply.
Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) In setting emissions standards it is important to take into account the implications for competitiveness of markets and manufacturers, the direct and indirect costs imposed on business and the benefits that accrue in terms of stimulating innovation, improving air quality, reducing health costs and increasing life expectancy. To favour manufacturers' competitiveness the emissions standard should remain stable for a minimum period of five years.
Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) Unrestricted access to vehicle repair information in the most appropriate way, without causing a disproportionate burden relative to the benefits to customers, via a standardised format which can be used to retrieve the technical information, and effective competition on the market for vehicle repair and maintenance information services are necessary to improve the functioning of the internal market, particularly as regards the free movement of goods, freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services. A great proportion of such information is related to on-board diagnostic systems and their interaction with other vehicle systems. It is appropriate to lay down technical specifications to be followed by the manufacturers in their websites, along with targeted measures to ensure reasonable access for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Most sensitive systems in terms of vehicle security must not be included, at this stage, in this Regulation.
Amendment 20 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) The Commission should adoptctively promote the adoption of world- wide harmonised driving cycles in the test procedure that provides the basis of EC type-approval emissions regulations. The application of portable emissions measurement systems for verifying the actual in-use emissions and the introduction of procedures to control off- cycle emissions (OCE) should also be considered.
Amendment 21 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) In order to better control actual in-use emissions including OCE and to facilitate the in-service conformity process, a testing methodology and performance requirements based on the use of portable emission measuring systems (PEMS) should be adopted within an appropriate timetable.
Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) With a view to meeting the air quality objectives, the Commission should actively promote the introducetion of harmonised provisions to ensure that off-cycle emissions from heavy duty engines and vehicles are appropriately controlled over a broad range of engine and ambient operating conditions.
Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) Correct functioning of the after- treatment system, and more specifically in the case of NOx, is the basic requirement to fulfil the established standards for pollutant emissions. In this context, measures to guarantee the proper operation of systems relying in the use of a reagent should be introducedthe Commission should consider whether there is a need for the introduction of additional measures.
Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24
Recital 24
(24) In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to introduce particle -number -based limit values in Annex I, to specify the value of the admissible level of NO2 component in the NOx limit value, to establish specific procedures, tests and requirements for type-approval, as well as a measurementestablish a specific procedure for particle number, and to adopt measures concerning off -cycle emissions, access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and test cycles used to measure emissionstest cycles used to measure emissions and to vehicle repair and maintenance information when appropriate and in the most suitable and cost-effective way. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to supplement this Regulation by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
