Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) The savings in ‘operational lifetime costs’ likely to result from contracting authority procurement of clean vehicles will also extend to ‘external cost savings’ that cannot be passed on to the purchasers; that being the case, an incentive to implement this Directive should be provided in the form of a reduced-rate VAT scheme for the procurement of such vehicles.

(14) Including energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and pollutant emissions in the award criteria does not impose higher total costs but rather anticipates lifetime costs in the procurement decision. Complementary to the Euro emissions standard legislation, which sets maximum emission limits, thise approach proposed in this Directive monetises the actual pollutant emissions and does not require any additional standard setting. Including energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and pollutant emissions in the award criteria does not impose higher total costs but rather anticipates lifetime costs in the procurement decision.

Recital 15
(15) TWhe ExternE study, the Clean Air for Europe (CAFE) programme of the Commission, and the HEATCO study have provided information on the costs of CO2, reas CO2 emission costs are calculated on the well-established basis of the European emissions trading system, there is at present no generally agreed and scientifically recognised method for calculating the costs of nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and non- methane hydrocarbons, and particulat (NMHC) emissions. The costs associated with these mlatter emissions. Costs are taken at present value to keep the award procedure simple cannot, therefore, begin to be factored into the calculation of operational costs under this Directive until such time as the calculation methods devised are sufficiently recognised by the parties concerned.
