Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) The Communications proposed an integrated approach with a view to reaching the Community target of 120 g CO2/km by 2012 and announced that the Commission would propose a legislative framework to achieve the Community objective by focusing on mandatory reductions of emissions of CO2 to reach the objective of 130 g CO2/km for the average new car fleet by means of improvements in vehicle motor technology. Consistent with the approach under the voluntary commitments adopted by the manufacturers, this covers those elements that are taken into account in the measurement of the CO2 emissions of passenger cars in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information.16 A further reduction of 10 g CO2/km, or equivalent if technically necessary, will be delivered by other technological improvements and by an increased use of sustainable biofuels. In addition, consumer behaviour has an affect on overall emissions from passenger cars and therefore consumers should be provided with information regarding whether new passenger cars meet the emission targets set under this Regulation.

Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
(22) Manufacturers' compliance with the targets under this Regulation should be assessed at the Community level. Manufacturers whose average specific emissions of CO2 exceed those permitted under this Regulation should pay an excess emissions premium in respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards. The premium should be modulated as a function of the extent to which manufacturers fail to comply with their target. It should increase over time. In order to provide a sufficient incentive to take measures to reduce specific emissions of CO2 from passenger cars, the premium should reflectbe higher than the technological costs. The amounts of the excess emissions premium should be considered as revenue for the budget of the European Union.

Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1
Subject matter and, objectives and targets 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/kmof reducing CO2 emissions in the EU, including in the transport sector. The Regulation sets a target, for the new car fleet, of an average 120 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2012. The Regulation sets the average CO2 emissions for new passenger cars at 130 g CO2/km by means of improvement in vehicle motor technology as measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing measures. This Regulation will be complemented by additional measures corresponding to 10 g/km as part of the Community's integrated approach. The Regulation also sets targets, targets, for the new car fleet, of average emissions of no more than 80 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2020 and 60 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2025 with an indicative target of 110 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2017.

Amendment 202 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 9 a (new)
Article 9a Eco-innovations 1. The committee to be set up pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation shall take decisions on applications for the recognition of eco-innovations, including the CO2 reduction resulting from the use of a technology. 2. Manufacturers within the meaning of Article 3 or component suppliers which manufacture a technology may submit applications for recognition of eco- innovations. Such applications must contain data on the CO2 reduction achieved through the use of the technology which are certified by an independent body. The technical agencies referred to in Article 41 of Directive 2007/46/EC may act as certifying independent bodies. 3. In connection with the monitoring of this Regulation, eco-innovations shall receive CO2 bonuses on the basis of their inclusion as standard components in vehicle types or versions of vehicle types. The overall level of the bonuses granted to a manufacturer in respect of eco- innovations shall be limited to 10% of the manufacturer's target as calculated pursuant to Annex I. 4. Independently of this procedure, the work on revising the test cycle, parallel to the offsetting of eco-innovations, shall continue so as to ensure that their CO2 reduction potential is reflected in the test cycle in the long term. 5. When it carries out the revision of the directive pursuant to Article 1, the Commission, as part of the impact assessment, shall submit a comprehensive assessment of the reductions in CO2 emissions achieved by means of eco- innovations in order to ensure that in subsequent years due account is taken of all CO2 reduction measures when assessing whether manufacturers have achieved their targets. 6. The committee set up pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation shall 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 shall submit that appeal to the committee, which shall 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.

Annex I – paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. For each year from 1 January 2020 onwards, the formula in paragraph 1 shall be applied by replacing “120” with “80”. For each year from 1 January 2025 onwards, the formula in paragraph 1 shall be applied by replacing “80” with “60”.
