11 Amendments of Sven SCHULZE related to 2016/2908(RSP)
Amendment 2 #
Recital C a (new)
Ca. whereas the market share of diesel-powered passenger cars grew in the European Union during the last decades to a level where they represent more than half of new cars sold in almost every Member State; whereas this sustained growth in market share of diesel vehicles also came about as a result of the EU climate policy, as diesel technology has a significant advantage over petrol engines when it comes to CO2 emissions; whereas at the combustion stage, diesel engines produce far more pollutants other than CO2, which are significantly and directly harmful to public health, such as NOx, SOx and particulate matter, than do petrol engines; whereas mitigation technologies for these pollutants exist and are deployed in the market;
Amendment 10 #
Paragraph 5
5. Calls on the Commission to change its internal structure in such a way that, under the principle of collective responsibility, the portfolio of one single Commissioner (and Directorate-General) includes at the same time the responsibility for air quality legislation and for policies addressing the sources of pollutant emissions; calls for an increase in the human and technical resources dedicated to vehicles, vehicle systems and emission control technologies in the Commission, and for the Joint Research Centre (JRC) to further improve in-house technical expertise;
Amendment 15 #
Paragraph 6
6. Calls on the Commission to ensure that there are adequate human resources and technical expertise in the JRC, including measures to keep relevant experience with vehicle and emissions technology and vehicle testing in the organisation; notes that the JRC may have additional verification responsibilities for requirements in the context of the proposal for a new market surveillance and type approval regulation;
Amendment 31 #
Paragraph 10
10. Calls on the Commission to review the applicable Union law in order to ascertain whether the placing on the market of other vehicle systems, or of other products, could be dependent on inadequate test procedures, as in the case of vehicle emissions;
Amendment 35 #
Paragraph 11
11. Calls on the Commission to continue its work on improving Portable Emission Measurement System (PEMS) measurements for particulate matter with a view to improving their accuracy and the technological ability to account for particles whose size is smaller than 23 nanometres;
Amendment 43 #
Paragraph 14
14. Considers that although the RDE procedure will minimise the risk of defeat device use, it will not completely prevent recourse to illegal practices; recommends therefore that, in line with the approach of the US authorities, a degree of unpredictability is built into the type- approval testing in order to prevent any outstanding loopholes from being exploited; also recommends avoiding strategies that take advantage of the duration of a test;
Amendment 54 #
Paragraph 17
17. Calls on the Member States to require car manufacturers, in the context of the recently introduced obligation for car manufacturers to disclose their base and auxiliary emission strategies, to explain any irrational emissions behaviour of vehicles observed in testing and to demonstrate the need to apply the exemptions set out in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007; calls on the Member States to share the results of their investigations and the technical test data with the Commission and Parliament;
Amendment 66 #
Paragraph 19
19. Calls for the swift adoption of the proposal for a Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers (2016/0014(COD)), replacing the current framework directive on type-approval; considers the preservation of the level of ambition of the original Commission proposal, in particular as regards the introduction of EU oversight of the system, to be the bare minimum objective to be achieved during the interinstitutional negotiations on the dossier;
Amendment 95 #
Paragraph 24
24. Points out the need for systematic enforcement of conformity of production and in-use conformity of vehicles by the national authorities responsible, further coordinated and supervised at EU level; urges the Member States to clarify once and for all which authority is in charge of market surveillance in their territory and to notify the Commission accordingly;
