Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) In order to ensure that emissions of ultrafine particulate pollutants (size of 0,1 μm and below) are controlled, the Commission should be empowered to adopt a number-based approach to emissions of particulate pollutants, in addition to the mass-based approach which is currently used. The number-based approach to emissions of particles should draw on the results of the Particulate measurement programme (PMP) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), achieve at least the level of protection afforded by the existing Union legislation on road vehicles, meet the requirement to minimise emissions of carcinogenic substances, and thus protect workers, and be consistent with the existing ambitious objectives for the environment.

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 reagent should be introduced. In real driving conditions, and despite the imposition of stricter limit values for NOx, NO2 emissions from modern cars and utility vehicles have increased. This has made it impossible for many Member States to meet the EU emissions limit value for NO2 laid down by Directive 2008/50/EC. This Regulation should therefore lay down the value for the admissible portion of the NOx limit value which can be accounted for by NO2.
