Amendment 39 #
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 reflect technological costs. The amounts of the excess emissions premium should be considered as revenue for the budget of the European Unionbut at the same time to ensure that the penalty is proportional by comparison with other sectors' CO2 emissions and consistent with other CO2-reduction instruments, the level of the premium should be based on the amount to be paid under the European emissions trading system.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 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. 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. intended to achieve a further reduction of 10 g/km as part of the Community's integrated approach. In 2014, on the basis of a stock-taking exercise and a legislative impact assessment, the Commission shall propose medium- and long-term targets for newly- registered vehicles as from 2020 and submit them to the Council and Parliament for a decision. At the same time, the Commission shall submit a proposal for a comprehensive approach to identifying all measures to reduce CO2 emissions, with the aim of removing the distinction between engine-/vehicle- related and additional measures and eco- innovations. A target shall be set for 2020 which guarantees, through the aggregate impact of all relevant measures, a reduction in average CO2 emissions of at least 20% by comparison with 2008. In that connection, the Commission shall take account of the possible incorporation of road transport into the European emissions trading system, as proposed in the context of the revision of that trading system. As the basis for this proposal, a comprehensive assessment of the implications for the automobile industry and for upstream sectors shall be drawn up. This shall include a cost-benefit analysis, in the light of all relevant technological innovations designed to reduce CO2 emissions, covering all segments of the car market. When a long-term target is set, due account shall be taken of developments relating to international climate protection agreements.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point f a (new)
(fa) ‘eco-innovation’ means any technological innovation which, regardless of driver behaviour, delivers a proven, quantifiable contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and which is not included or insufficiently taken into account in the new European testing cycle (Regulation (EC) No 715/2007) and is not covered by the additional measures referred to in Article 1.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 4
For the calendar year commencing 1 January 2012 and each subsequent calendar year, each manufacturer of passenger cars shall ensure that itn 2012 25%, in 2013 50%, in 2014 75% and in 2015 and each subsequent calendar year 100% of the fleet’s average specific emissions of CO2 do not exceed itsthe specific emissions target for a manufacturer's fleet determined in accordance with Annex I or, where a manufacturer is granted a derogation under Article 9, in accordance with that derogation.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – subparagraph 1 a (new)
For manufacturers which produce cars with specific CO2 emissions which are 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% lower than the target set in Annex I, when average specific CO2 emissions are calculated every new vehicle registered over the period to 2015 inclusive shall be counted as two, three, four or five, in keeping with the percentage by which emissions fall below the set target.

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.
