Recital 2
(2) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured. The Community has put in place a well-functioning internal market in the automotive sector, which has created a solid basis for uninterrupted intra-Community trade in automotive products. The targets for CO2 emissions should be harmonised to avoid differing requirements between Member States, to preserve the achievements of the internal market and ensure the free movement of passenger cars within the Community while ensuring a high level of environmental protection and, by extension, a major contribution to combating climate change.

Recital 10
(10) The Communications proposed an integrated approach with a view to reaching the Community target of 120 g CO2/km by 2012 and announced that the Commission would propose a legislative framework to achieve the Community objective by focusing on mandatory reductions of emissions of CO2 to reach the 1 OJ L 171, 29.6.2007, p.1. 2 OJ L 171, 29.6.2007, p.1. objective of 130 g CO2/km for the average new car fleet by means of improvements in vehicle motor technology. The objective of reducing CO2 emissions by means of improvement in motor technology should be underpinned by the development of eco-technology incorporated in passenger cars, as well as the improvement of road infrastructures, better traffic management, measures to encourage the use of biofuels and appropriate tax arrangements. Consistent with the approach under the voluntary commitments adopted by the manufacturers, this covers those elements that are taken into account in the measurement of the CO2 emissions of passenger cars in accordance with 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. A further reduction of 10 g CO2/km, or equivalent if technically necessary, will be delivered by other technological improvements and by an increased use of biofuels. In addition, consumer behaviour has an affect on overall emissions from passenger cars and therefore consumers should be provided with information regarding whether new passenger cars meet the emission targets set under this Regulation.

(13a) It is particularly necessary, for the purposes of achieving environmental objectives and combating climate change, for the European automobile industry to remain competitive at global level. Hence, it is important to adopt measures which are effective, particularly in view of the costs to the entire European automobile sector so as to ensure that its competitiveness is not undermined.
