Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3 a (new)

(3a) The European economy is highly dependent on external energy supply and therefore continuously exposed to uncertain and high energy prices, including potential oil shocks. Significant increases in resource and in particular energy efficiency can help to minimize these negative effects. In recognition of the long research and development times needed by manufacturers to innovate and adapt their production cycles and in order to provide investors with the certainty they need, it is important to set a target for 2025. Setting this target now would mean continuing on the same time path of 2009 when targets for 2020 were set. Introducing a target of 100 g/km in 2025, is a way of ensuring that fuel efficiency of new vans will continue to improve beyond 2020, the development of ultralow carbon vehicles is ensured, the economy is less vulnerable towards oil price shocks and the forefront position of the EU is maintained;

(6) To enable the automotive industry to carry out long-term investments and innovation it is desirable to provide indications ~~of how this Regulation should be amended for the period beyond~~for the period beyond 2020. This should be done by setting a target for 20205. The~~se indications~~ target should be based on ~~an assessment of~~ the necessary rate of reduction to be in line with the Union's long term climate goals and ~~the implications for~~enhance the development of cost effective CO2 reducing technology ~~for cars. It is therefore desirable for these aspects to be reviewed, the Commission to make a report and if appropriate proposals made for targets beyond 2020~~.
