Recital 7 a (new)
Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) In addition, in view of the uncertainty associated with future technological and sociological developments in the sector, it would be undesirable to prioritise radically, at an early stage, one or more technical options which may prove to be generally less relevant in the future, and it is preferable on the contrary to explore the potential, and the possible synergies, of the various current technologies available. In that regard, it is appropriate to recall the fundamental principle of technological neutrality to which the EU is committed and by which it is required to abide.

Recital 11 a (new)
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) Although, in comparison with the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), the introduction of the new WLTP test procedure can be expected to reduce the gap between reported CO2 emission values and actual emissions from vehicles, such a gap will nonetheless persist; it is therefore essential to continue the efforts to develop and establish tests to be performed both in the laboratory and elsewhere which reflect reality as completely as possible by measuring actual energy consumption and emissions under real driving conditions; to this end, the Commission should include such tests in the regulatory framework as soon as they have been developed.
Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14 a (new)
Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) It will not be possible to achieve the long-term goal of entirely decarbonising European mobility without technological innovation and technical progress. With that in mind, and in the face of increased international competition, it is essential that the EU and Member States continue their efforts to explore and develop initiatives that promote the synergies possible in the sector, taking as a model the recent EU Batteries Alliance, and support public and private investment in research and innovation in the European car industry in order to maintain European technological leadership in that sector and to ensure the long-term sustainability of its industrial base, keeping it efficient and competitive on the world market.
Amendment 117 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 41 a (new)
Recital 41 a (new)
(41a) Although this Regulation aims to reduce CO2 emissions from light duty vehicles, it must not lose sight of the overall carbon balance in the ‘manufacture – use – scrapping’ cycle of the vehicles concerned and the ‘extraction/production – transportation – consumption’ cycle of the fuel used (well- to-wheel). In this respect, the Commission should develop a harmonised methodology for reporting the carbon balance of the life-cycle of such vehicles and the energy consumed in order to obtain a full picture of their environmental impacts and thus ensure consistency of the means deployed in pursuit of the Union’s climate objectives.

Recital 46
Recital 46
(46) In order to amend or supplement non-essential elements of the provisions of this Regulation the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending Annexes II and III as regards data requirements and data parameters, establishing the methodology for recording life-cycle CO2-missions as referred to in Article 7, supplementing the rules on the interpretation of the eligibility criteria for derogations from the specific emissions targets, on the content of applications for a derogation and on the content and assessment of programmes for the reduction of specific emissions of CO2, adjusting the figure of M0 and TM0, referred to in Article 13 , the 7 g CO2/km cap referred to in Article 11, and the adjustment of the formulae in Annex I referred to in Article 14(3) . It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making26 . In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council should receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts should systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. __________________ 26 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.
