Recital 6
(6) Regulation (EU) 2016/646219 introduced the dates of application of the RDE test procedure, as well as the compliance criteria for RDE. For that purpose, pollutant-specific conformity factors were introduced, and separate error margins were used to take account of statistical and technical uncertainties of the measurements conducted by means of Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PEMS). _________________ 21 Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/646 of 20 April 2016 amending Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 as regards emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 6) (OJ L 109, 26.04.2016, p.1).

(7) On 13 December 2018, the General Court delivered judgment in Joined Cases T-339/16, T-352/16 and T-391/162210 concerning an action for annulment of Regulation (EU) 2016/646. The General Court annulled the part of Regulation (EU) 2016/646 which established the conformity factors and error margins used to assess compliance of RDE test results with the emission limits laid down in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. The Court found that only the legislator could introduce those conformity factors and error margins as they touched upon an essential element of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. _________________ 22Judgment of 13 December 2018, Ville de Paris, Ville de Bruxelles and Ayuntamiento de Madrid v Commission, T-339/16, T- 352/16 and T-391/16, EU:T:2018:927.

(8) The General Court did not question the technical justification of the conformity factors and error margins. Therefore, and given that at the current stage of technological development there is still a discrepancy between emissions measured in real driving and those measured in a laboratory, it is appropriate to introduce the same conformity factors and error margins into Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.

Recital 9
(9) In order to allow manufacturers to comply with the Euro 6 emission limits in the context of RDE test procedure, the compliance criteria for RDE should be introduced in two steps. During the first step, upon the request of the manufacturer, a temporary conformity factor should apply, while as a second step only the final conformity factor should be used. The Commission should keep under review the final conformity factorserror margin in light of technical progress.

(9a) It is necessary that the Commission take into account any standards adopted by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) for a standard procedure to assess RDE measurement uncertainty with regard to gaseous and particle emissions.

Recital 11
(11) In order to contribute to the achievement of the Union’s air quality objectives and to reduce vehicle emissions, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFUE) should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the detailed rules on the specific procedures, tests and requirements for type approval. That delegation should include supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 by such revised rules as well as the test cycles used to measure emissions; the requirements for the implementation of the prohibition on the use of defeat devices that reduce the effectiveness of emission control systems; the measures necessary for the implementation of the obligation of a manufacturer to provide unrestricted and standardised access to vehicle repair and maintenance information; the adoption of a revised measurement procedure for particulates. The delegation should further include amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for the purposes of revising the final conformity factors downwarderror margins to reflect technical progress in PEMS and recalibrating the particulate mass based limit values and introducing particle number based limit values. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations are conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-Making of 13 April 2016. 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 systematically should have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts.

Those obligations include meetingcomplying with the emission limits set out in Annex I. For the purposes of determining compliance with the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of Annex I, the emission values determined during any valid Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test shall be divided by the applicable conformity factor or, where specified, by the sum of the applicable conformity factor and error margin set out in Table 2a of Annex I. The result shall remain belowcomply with the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of that Annex.;

The Commission shall take into account any standards adopted by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) which provide a technically sound approach to assess RDE measurement uncertainty with regard to gaseous and particle emissions, with the aim of requiring the use of such a standard under this Regulation in order for an appropriate authority to verify a specific margin of uncertainty for PEMS applications and to consider if that is sufficient to replace the specific margins of error indicated in Table 2a in Annex I to this Regulation or to complement it.
