Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council12 has already established a regulatory framework for the approval and market surveillance of agricultural and forestry vehicles. Owing to the similarity of the fields and given the positive experience derived from the application of Regulation (EU) No 167/2013, many of the rights and obligations established by that Regulation shGiven that the emissions-related requirements laid down therein are based on Directive 97/68/EC, once that Directive has been repealed the Commission should, immediately after the present proposal for a regulation has been adopted, submit a proposal for a delegated act containing Stage V emission requirements in line with the current state of technology for agricultural and forestry vehicles as well. These requirements could be taken into consideration in respect of non-road machinery. However, it is essential that a distinct set of rules be adopted to fully take into account the specific requirements of engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery account of the particular demands posed by agricultural and forestry activities. Nevertheless, in the interests of fair competition, the same exhaust technology and number-based particle requirements that have long applied to heavy duty vehicles under Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 should also be laid down at least for engines in tractors that are approved for non- agricultural and forestry activities in the Member States, and that are used for commercial transport activities. __________________ 12 Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 February 2013 on the approval and market surveillance of agri cultural and forestry vehicles (OJ L 60, 2.03.2013, p. 1).

Recital 14 b (new)
(14b) This Regulation should be without prejudice to measures at national or Union level regarding the use of engines or non-road mobile machinery in conformity with this Regulation if this is necessary and proportionate for health and safety at work and where necessary to avoid health hazards for workers affected by emissions produced by such engines in certain applications.

Recital 15
(15) In order to ensure that emissions of ultrafine particulate pollutants (size of 0,1 μm and below) are controlled, the Commission should be empowered to adopt a number-based approach to emissions of particulate pollutants, in addition to the mass-based approach which is currently used. The number-based approach to emissions of particles should draw on the results of the Particulate measurement programme (PMP) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), achieve at least the level of protection afforded by the existing Union legislation on road vehicles, support the requirement to minimise emissions of carcinogenic substances, and thus protect workers, and be consistent with the existing ambitious objectives for the environment.

Article 5 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. The provisions of this Regulation shall not affect Member States' entitlement to lay down, in due observance of the Treaty, such requirements as they may deem necessary to ensure that workers are protected when using the machinery referred to in this Regulation, provided that this does not affect the placing on the market of the engines in question.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 7 – paragraph 1
Article 7 – paragraph 1
For EU type-approved engines, market surveillance authorities shall perform, on an adequate scale and on the basis of adequate samples significant percentage of samples in accordance with point 2 of Annex II to Directive 2010/31/EU, documentary checks and, where appropriate, physical and laboratory checks of engines. When doing so, they shall take account of established principles of risk assessment, of any complaints and of other relevant information.

Article 59 – paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. By 31 December 2020, the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council regarding: (a) the assessment of further pollutant emission reduction potential, on the basis of available technologies in conjunction with a cost/benefit analysis; (b) the identification of potentially relevant pollutant types that do not currently fall within the scope of this Regulation; (c) a proposal on emission limit values for category NRSh which takes account of potential internal and external improvements to engines (oxidation catalyst, use of special fuels and lubricating oils) and is geared to the needs of professional users.

3a. In the case of emissions cleaning procedures using catalysts, it shall be demonstrated that the ensuing additional reaction products pose no risk to health or the environment. A single limit value for NO2 will therefore be set for all NRMM engine categories that must be complied with when Stage V enters into force. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 55 to set a limit value with reference to relevant provisions (VERT, CARB, EPA), whereby the proportion of NO2 must be at least < 0.4 NOx.
