Amendment 82 #
Werner LANGEN
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1
1. This Regulation establishes CO2 emission performance requirements for new passenger cars in order to ensure proper functioning of the internal market and achieve the EU's overall objective that the average new car fleet should achieve CO2 emissions of 120 g CO2/km. 2. The Regulation sets the average CO2 emissions for new passenger cars at 130 g CO2/km by means ofindividual target figure must be achieved in 2012 by at least a quarter, in 2013 by at least a half, in 2014 by at least three quarters and in 2015 by the whole car fleet. If the whole new car fleet is to be able to achieve the individual CO2 target value – obtained using the calculation formula – in 2015, corresponding improvements in vehicle motor technology as measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing measures. This Regulation will be complemented by awill be required. 3. As part of the Community’s overall concept, this Regulation introduces additional measures, corresponding to at least 10 g CO2 per kilometre. 4. CO2 emissions shall be measured pursuant to Regulation 2007/715/EG and its implementing provisions. Additional proven measures corresponding to 10 g/kmby car manufacturers and their suppliers, leading to further greenhouse gas emission reductions, shall be taken into account pursuant to Article 6 and Annex IIa concerning vehicle technology requirements. In order to gain as particture of the Community's integrated approachO2 reduction potential represented by additional measures and eco-innovations, a separate test cycle for eco-innovations shall be worked out.

Proposal for a regulation
Annex II a (new)
ANNEX IIa Procedure for offsetting the emission reduction potentials of eco-innovations 1. The Commission shall appoint an expert committee ('the eco-innovation assessment committee'), composed of representatives of the relevant Commission departments, which shall decide on applications from manufacturers to offset emission reduction potentials against specific CO2 emissions. The committee may co-opt external experts and shall report quarterly to the committee appointed under Article 9 of Decision 280/2004/EC1. 2. Where necessary, the committee shall hold quarterly hearings to approve the specific emission reduction potentials of technical measures and decide on the applications concerned. Appeals against the committee’s decisions shall be admissible. 3. To be considered for offsetting against a manufacturer’s specific emission targets, measures (a) must make a measurable contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, (b) must be clearly assignable to the CO2 emissions of a specific vehicle type or to a defined number of vehicles of that type, (c) must not be essential for type-approval under Directive 2007/46/EC or other EU legal requirements, (d) and must bring about reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that are not reflected in the results of the test procedure. 4. When applying for offsetting for eco- innovations, vehicle manufacturers must furnish reliable data on the following points: (a) the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the measure (expressed in CO2-equivalent); (b) documentary proof that the measure is not essential for type-approval; (c) documentary proof that the effects of the measure are not or not sufficiently reflected in the consumption and emissions figures established at type- approval; (d) a statement as to whether and to what extent the effects of the measure correlate with the vehicle’s weight or whether the effects are the same for all vehicles regardless of weight. 5. When applying for a correction of its specific emissions target for a particular year, the manufacturer must submit, in addition to details of a measure’s recognised greenhouse gas reductions, a proposal as to how these reductions can be assigned to particular models or to the whole of the manufacturer’s model range. 6. The stated CO2- or greenhouse gas- reduction potential must be confirmed by an independent body. This body must (a) be a reliable and approved testing institution; (b) offer guarantees of neutrality and automobile technology expertise in connection with the assessment of greenhouse gas reduction measures. All institutions which are notified under Article 41 of Directive 2007/46/EG shall be regarded as approved to carry out these tasks. 7. On the basis of a measure’s specific CO2 or greenhouse gas reductions, the confirmation by the independent body must include documentary proof that the following points have been checked: (a) the technical effects of the measure on greenhouse gas emissions (expressed in CO2-equivalent); (b) the reliability of the data provided by the manufacturer and/or supplier; (c) the possible interaction (including trade-offs) with other measures included in the type-approval procedure, or other measures for which an offsetting has been requested or already granted; (d) the effects of driver behaviour on the emissions reduction that can be achieved by means of the measure under realistic conditions; (e) the reliability of the data in relation to the vehicle types that are fitted with the measure, the number of such vehicles that are registered and the associated effects on the manufacturer’s average CO2 emissions. 8. The committee set up pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation must check that the application for recognition of an eco-innovation is complete and, within three months following submission of the application documents, take a decision on offsetting in respect of the eco-innovation. In that connection, the Commission shall submit a proposal to the committee. The applicant may lodge an appeal with the Commission against the committee's decision within one month following notification of that decision. The Commission must submit that appeal to the committee, which must consider it within three months and take a decision. All decisions on the offsetting of eco- innovations shall be published by the Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union. 9. If an application for an extension is approved for a calendar year, and the measures have not in the meantime become mandatory under the type- approval procedure or other legal provisions, for the approval of offsetting in subsequent years documentary proof shall be provided only of the vehicle types that are fitted with this measure, the number of registered vehicles of this type and the associated effects on the manufacturer’s average CO2 emissions. 10. Automobile component suppliers can apply for confirmation of the CO2 and greenhouse gas reduction potential of a particular measure if they provide the relevant documentary proof and the certificates issued by independent experts pursuant to paragraph 3 (a) to (d), paragraph 4 (a) to (d), and paragraph 7 (a) to (d) of this Annex. 11. If a manufacturer’s application for offsetting refers to a reduction potential for a specific measure that has already been approved for a component supplier, the manufacturer need only produce documentary proof pursuant to paragraph 5 and a certificate issued by an independent expert pursuant to paragraph 7(e) of this Annex. 1 Decision 280/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 concerning a mechanism for monitoring Community greenhouse gas emissions and for implementing the Kyoto Protocol (OJ L 49, 19.2.2004, p. 1).
