Recital 6
(6) This Regulation aims to lay down harmonised rules for the EU type-approval of engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery, with a view to ensuring the functioning of the internal market. For these purposes, new emission limits should be established, to be applied also to agricultural vehicles, to reflect technological progress and ensure convergence with Union policies in the on- road sector, with a view to achieving Union air quality targets and reducing the emissions from non-road mobile machinery and agricultural vehicles, thus resulting in a more proportionate share of machinery emissions in relation to road vehicle emissions. The scope of Union legislation in this field should be broadened, with a view to improving market harmonisation at EU and international level and minimising the risk of market distortions. In addition, this Regulation aims to simplify the current legal framework, including measures for simplifying administrative procedures, and to improve the general conditions for enforcement, in particular by strengthening the rules on market surveillance.

Recital 8
(8) The Seventh General Union Environment Action Programme adopted by Decision No 1386/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council13 recalls that the Union has agreed to achieve levels of air quality that do not give rise to significant negative impacts on, and risks to, human health and the environment. Union legislation has established appropriate emission limits for ambient air quality for the protection of human health and sensitive individuals in particular, as well as for national emission ceilings14. Following its Communication of 4 May 2001, which established the ‘Clean Air For Europe (CAFE) programme’, the Commission adopted another Communication on 21 September 2005 entitled ‘Thematic strategy for air pollution’. One of the conclusions of that thematic strategy is that further reductions in emissions from the transport sector (air, maritime and land transport), from households and from the energy, agricultural and industrial sectors are needed to achieve EU air quality objectives. In this context, the task of reducing emissions from engines installed in non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) should be approached as part of an overall strategy. The Stage V emission limits, applied also to agricultural machinery, are one of the measures designed to reduce the actual in-use emissions of air pollutants such as particulate pollutants as well as ozone precursors such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons. __________________ 13 Decision No 1386/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2013 on a General Union Environment Action Programme to 2020 ‘Living well, within the limits of our planet’ ( OJ L 354, 28.12.2013, p. 171). 14 Decision No 1600/2002/EC; Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe (OJ L 152, 11.6.2008, p. 1).

Recital 12
(12) Emissions from non-road mobile machinery engines constitute a significant proportion of the total man-made emissions of certain noxious atmospheric pollutants. Engines responsible for a considerable share of air pollution by nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) should fall within the scope of the new emission limit rules.

Recital 12 a (new)
Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) Non-road mobile machinery engines are responsible for the annual emission of 100 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, equal to around 2% of total greenhouse gas emissions from 27 Member States, and thus contribute to climate change;
Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The Commission should keep under review emissions which are, as yet, unregulated, starting with greenhouse gases, and which also arise as a consequence of the wider use of new fuel formulations, engine technologies and emission control systems. The Commission should also, where necessary, submit a proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council with a view to regulating such emissions.
Amendment 60 #

Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) It is appropriate to encourage the introduction of alternative fuel vehicles, which can have low NOx and, particulate and CO2 emissions. Thus, limit values for total hydrocarbons should be adapted in order to take into account non-methane hydrocarbons andinclude methane emissions.;

Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) The Commission should adopt worldwide harmonised testing cycles in the test procedures that provide the basis for EU type-approval emissions regulations. The application of portable emissions measurement systems for monitoring of the actual in-use emissions should also be consideredinclude the use of portable emissions measurement systems.
Amendment 74 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) The correct functioning of the after- treatment system, and more specifically in the case of NOx, is the basic requirement for fulfilling the established limits for pollutant emissions. In this context, measures to guarantee the proper operation of systems relying on the use of a reagentmore effective abatement systems should be introduced.

Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) A limited number of exemptions should be granted to address the specific needs related to armed forces, logistic supply constraintemergency vehicles, field testing of prototypes and the use of machinery in explosive atmospheres.

Recital 25
(25) As a consequence, UNECE regulations and the amendments thereto which the Union has voted in favour of or to which the Union has acceded, in application of Decision 97/836/EC, should be recognized as equivalent to EU type- approvals granted under this Regulation, where the emissions limits to be met are the same. Accordingly, the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts in order to determine which UNECE regulations will apply to EU type- approvals.
