OPINION on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 to define the modalities for reaching the 2020 target to reduce CO2 emissions from new passenger cars

(3a) In order to speed up the market uptake of ultra-low carbon vehicles and/or e-cars, it is necessary to develop across the Union appropriate infrastructure for the supply of alternative fuels and electric power to vehicles, including a dense network of charging points at all appropriate locations where many e-cars are parked for many hours, such as park-and-ride car parks. E-cars should, as a matter of priority, store surplus electricity generated using wind and/or solar energy. In addition, exchangeable number plates should be introduced Europe-wide, so that greater use can be made of commuter e-cars for short journeys.

(4) In recognition of the disproportionate impacts on the smallest manufacturers resulting from compliance with specific emissions targets defined on the basis of the utility of the vehicle, high administrative burden of the derogation procedure and only marginal benefit in terms of avoided CO2 from the vehicles sold by these manufacturers, producers responsible annually for less than 51000 new passenger cars are excluded from the scope of the specific emissions target and the excess emissions premium.

(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 beyond 2020. These indications should be based on an assessment of the necessary rate of reduction in line with the Union's long term climate goals and the implications for the development of cost effective CO2 reducing technology for cars. It is therefore desirable for these aspects to be reviewed, the Commission to makprepare a report and if appropriate, adopt proposals made for targets beyond 2020. In order to ensure planning certainty for manufacturers, however, such a proposal should not be made before 2018, since the determination of such targets should be based on a new test cycle and relevant test procedures which are due to be adopted in 2014. This should ensure that sufficient and reliable data is collected in the period from 2014 to 2018 so that any proposal for new targets for the period beyond 2020 is well-founded.
