(2a) High and ever increasing fossil fuel and particularly oil prices are a threat to economic recovery, energy security and energy affordability in Europe. Oil shocks can lead to deep recessions, reduced competitiveness and rising unemployment. Therefore, reducing our oil dependence by, amongst others, increasing the efficiency and sustainability of new passenger cars and vans is a priority.

(7) To enable the automotive industry to carry out long-term investments and innovation it is desirable to provide indications of how this Regulation should be amended for the period beyondfor the period beyond 2020. This should be done by setting a target for 20205. These indications target should be based on an assessment of the necessary rate of reduction to be in line with the Union's long term climate goals and the implications forenhance the development of cost effective CO2 reducing technology for cars. It is therefore desirable for these aspects to be reviewed, the Commission to make a report and if appropriate proposals made forpropose targets for beyond 2020.

(7a) In recognition of the long research and development times needed by manufacturers and in order to provide investors with the certainty they need, it is important to set a target for 2025. Setting this target now would mean continuing on the same time path of 2007 when targets for 2020 were set. If Europe wants to remain at the forefront of the global race for cleaner vehicles, bearing in mind the recently adopted ambitious fuel economy standards in the USA, Europe needs to set a long term target of 65g CO2/km in 2025;

(7b) As correct and truthful information on CO2 emission and fuel consumption, which are directly related, is essential to consumers for making informed choices, highest attention should be given to predicting these parameters. However, today, the real emissions of cars and vans on the road greatly differ from the values determined in the current test cycle. Therefore, the swift development of an improved test cycle is needed.

(8) The Regulation requires the Commission to carry out an impact assessment in order to review the test procedures to reflect adequately the real CO2 emissions behaviour of cars. This work is proceeding through the development of a World Light Duty Test procedure in the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe but is not yet complete. In view of this, and given that the existing test cycle does not sufficiently reflect the actual emissions of cars and vans on the road, the swift development of an improved test cycle is crucial. When the current test procedures, set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, which establishes emission limits for 2020 as measured according to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Annex XII to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008. When the test procedures, are amended, the limits set in Annex I should be adjusted to ensure comparable stringency for manufacturers and classes of vehicles.

Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) Given that accurate and truthful information on CO2 emissions and fuel consumption is essential for consumers to be able to make informed choices, the utmost attention should be paid to assessing these two parameters. At present, on-road emissions from vehicles differ greatly from the figures measured during the emissions test cycle. A test cycle that produces more accurate results therefore needs to be developed at the earliest opportunity.

When the test procedures are amended, the limits set in Annex I should be adjusted to ensure comparable stringency for manufacturers and classes of vehicles. Accordingly, if the WLTP is not adopted by 2014, the Commission should, at the earliest opportunity, amend the EU measurement procedures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 to take account of vehicles' actual on-road CO2 emissions.

(8) The Regulation requires the Commission to carry out an impact assessment in order to review the test procedures to reflect adequately the real CO2 emissions behaviour of cars. This work is proceeding through the development of a World Light Duty Test procedure in the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe but is not yet complete. In view of this, and considering the insufficiency of the current test cycle, a new test cycle that does reflect the actual emissions of cars should be developed swiftly, ruling out divergent interpretations and deviations among Member States. Pending the adoption of the new test cycle, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 establishes emission limits for 2020 as measured according to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Annex XII to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008. When the test procedures are amended, the limits set in Annex I should be adjusted to ensure comparable stringency for manufacturers and classes of vehicles.
