Amendment 74 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) In pursuing the objectives of this Regulation, of Regulation 715/2007 and of Directive 2007/46/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council for the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, implemented by national authorities and technical services in the Member-States, the establishment of a European entity for market surveillance and type-approval (referred to as "European authority") within the existing institutional framework and with respect for the balance of power in the European Union, that would carry out the tasks and responsibilities attributed to the European Commission under this Regulation, would ensure a high level of expertise and harmonisation, for the purpose of the good functioning of the Single Market to the gain of consumers and undertakings, as well as a high level of protection of public health and environment. To this end, special consideration should therefore be given to the extension of the competencies of the European Railway Agency to all land transports, including type-approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles activities.

Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) The need for control and monitoring of technical services by the designating authorities and a European Authority has increased since technical progress has raised the risk that technical services do not possess the necessary competence to test new technologies or devices emerging within their scope of designation. As technical progress shortens product cycles and as the intervals of surveillance on-site assessments and of the monitoring vary between designating authorities, minimum requirements with regard to the intervals of the surveillance and monitoring of the technical services should be established.

Amendment 221 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
(8) This Regulation should strengthen the current type-approval framework, in particular through the introduction of provisions on market surveillance covering the lifetime of the vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units concerned. Market surveillance in the automotive sector should be introduced by specifying the obligations of the economic operators in the supply chain, the responsibilitietasks of the enforcement authorities in the Member States, and the measures to be taken when automotive products are encountered on the market that represent seriousany kind of safety or environmental risks or that do not comply with the type-approval requirements, and by establishing a European Agency for Market Surveillance of Road Transport.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18
(18) A robust compliance enforcement mechanism is necessary in order to ensure that the requirements under this Regulation are met. Ensuring compliance with the type-approval and conformity of production requirements of the legislation governing the automotive sector should remain the key responsibility of the approval authorities, as it is an obligation closely linked to the issuing of the type- approval and requires detailed knowledge of its contentAgency. It is therefore important that the performance of approval authorities is regularly verified by means of peer- reviewsaudits by the Agency, to ensure that a uniform level of quality and stringency is applied by all approval authorities in enforcing the type- approval requirements. Moreover, it is important to provide for the verification of the correctness of the type approval itself.

(19) Closer coordination between national authorities through information exchange and coordinated assessments under the direction of a coordinating authoritthe Agency is fundamental for ensuring a consistently high level of safety and health and environmental protection within the internal market. This should also lead to more efficient use of scarce resources at national level. For this purpose a Forum should be established for Member States and the CommissionAgency to exchange information on and to coordinate their activities related to the enforcement of type-approval legislation. The currently informal cooperation between Member States in this respect would benefit from a more formal framework.

(25) In addition, the CommissionThe Agency should organise and carry out or require to carry out ex-post compliance verification tests and inspections, independent from those carried out by Member States under their national market surveillance obligations. When non- compliance is established by those tests and inspections, or where it is found that a type approval has been granted on the basis of incorrect data the Commission should be entitled to initiate Union-wide remedial actions to restore the conformity of the vehicles concerned and together with the Agency investigate the reasons for the incorrectness of the type approval. Appropriate funding should be ensured in the general budget of the Union to enable the execution of such compliance verification testing and inspections. In view of the budgetary constraints of the Multiannual Financial Framework 2014- 2020 the implementation of the legislative proposal will have to be built on existing resources and to be designed in such a manner that they do not generate additional financial resources. The Commission should be entitled to impose administrative fines where non-compliance is established.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33
(33) Appropriate flexibility should be provided by means of alternative type- approval schemes for manufacturers who produce vehicles in small series. They should be able to benefit from the advantages of the Union internal market provided that their vehicles comply with the specific EU type-approval requirements for vehicles produced in small series. In certain limited cases, it is appropriate to allow for national small series type- approval. In order to prevent misuse, any simplified procedure for vehicles produced in small series should be restricted to cases of very limited production in accordance with this Regulation. It is therefore necessary to define precisely the concept of vehicles produced in small series in terms of the number of vehicles produced, the requirements to be complied with and the conditions for placing those vehicles on the market. It is equally important to specify an alternative approval scheme for individual vehicles, in particular to provide sufficient flexibility for the approval of vehicles built in multiple stages.

Article 5 b (new)
Article 5 b Tasks of the Agency 1. The Agency shall organise and carry out market surveillance and controls of vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units entering the market, in accordance with Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008. 2. The Agency shall organise and carry out tests and inspections of vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units already made available on the market including during production, with a view to verifying that those vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units conform to the type approvals and to applicable legislation as well as to ensure the correctness of the type approvals. The Agency shall inspect at least 20% of all type-approved vehicles placed on the European market each year. When doing so, the Agency shall take account of established principles of risk assessment, including complaints, popularity of vehicle models and their parts, third-party testing results, very high or very low fuel economy models, first application of new engine or technology, reports from periodic technical inspections, sampling programmes using remote sensing and other information. 3. Manufacturers holding type- approvals or the economic operators shall, upon request, supply to the Agency a statistically relevant number of production vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units selected by the Agency that are representative for the vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units available for placing on the market under that type- approval. Those vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units shall be supplied for testing at the time and place and for the period the Agency may require. Those tests and inspections may take place on new vehicles supplied by manufacturers or the economic operator as provided in paragraph 2 below. Those tests and inspections may also take place on registered vehicles. 4. For the purpose of enabling the Agency to carry out the testing referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, national market surveillance authorities within the Member States shall make available to the Agency all data related to the type- approval of the vehicle, systems, components and separate technical units subject to compliance verification testing. For this purpose the Agency shall create a common secure electronic exchange system in which the type approval authorities shall include all data related to the type-approval of the vehicle, systems, components and separate technical units subject to compliance verification testing. Those data shall include at least the information included in the type-approval certificate and its attachments referred to Article 26(1). For vehicles approved in accordance with the step-by-step or multistage type- approval procedure, Member States shall also provide the Agency with the type- approval certificate and its attachments referred to in Article 26(1) for the underlying type-approvals of systems, components and separate technical units. 5. The Agency shall require economic operators to make the documentation and information available as it considers necessary for the purpose of carrying out its activities. For the purpose of obtaining information contained in type approvals, the contact for the Agency shall first be the type approval authority which issued the relevant type approval certificate, however if the Agency need more information they have the right to obtain the information from the economic operators. 6. Vehicle manufacturers shall make public data which are needed for the purpose of compliance verification testing by third parties. The Commission shall adopt delegated acts in order to define the data to be made public and the conditions for such publication, subject to the protection of commercial secrets and the preservation of personal data pursuant to Union and national legislation. Those delegated acts shall be adopted in accordance with Article 88. 7. For the fulfilment of its tasks, the Agency may ask the responsible national authorities to enter the premises of economic operators and seize the necessary samples of vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units for the purposes of compliance testing. 8. For type-approved vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units, the Agency shall take due account of certificates of conformity presented by economic operators. 9. The Agency shall cooperate with economic operators or manufacturer regarding actions which could prevent or reduce risks caused by vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units made available by those operators or manufacturer. 10. Where the Agency establishes that the vehicles tested or inspected do not comply with the type-approval requirements laid down in this Regulation or any of the regulatory acts listed in Annex IV or that the type approval has been granted on the basis of incorrect data, it shall require in accordance with Article 54(8) without delay the economic operator concerned to take all appropriate corrective measures to bring the vehicles in compliance with those requirements, or it shall take restrictive measures, either by requiring the economic operator to withdraw the vehicles concerned from the market, or to recall them within a reasonable period of time, depending on the seriousness of the established non- compliance.
