Recital 21
(21) Directive 2007/46/EC provides that manufacturers are to issue a certificate of conformity which must accompany each new passenger car and that Member States are to permit the registration and entry into service of a new passenger car only if it is accompanied by a valid certificate of conformity. Data collected by Member States should be consistent with the certificate of conformity issued by the manufacturer for the passenger car. and should be based on this reference only. Should Member States, for justified reasons, not use the certificate of conformity to complete the process of registration and entry into service of a new passenger car, they should put the necessary measures in place to ensure adequate accuracy in the monitoring procedure. There should be a common European standard database for certificate of conformity data. It should be used as a single reference to enable Member States to more easily maintain their registration data when vehicles are newly registered. The Commission should ensure the use of electronic networks by the Member States, such as demonstrated in the REGNET project, that provide for further streamlining of the exchange of registration data, such as for CO2 emissions, for the purpose of accurate monitoring. Further, to enable manufacturers to respond to market developments, the Commission should, at the latest by 30 August for each monitoring year, make available an interim monitoring report to each manufacturer for that year.

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.

Article 1
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. The Regulation sets the average CO2 emissions for new passenger cars at 130 g CO2/km by means of1a. The individual target must be achieved by 2012 for at least 25%, by 2013 for at least 50%, by 2014 for at least 75% and by 2015 for the entire new car fleet. If the individual CO2 emissions target to be determined using the calculation formula is to be achieved for the entire new car fleet by 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 additional measures corresponding to 10 g/km as part of the Community's integrated approach. technology will be required. 1b. As part of of the Community's integrated approach, this Regulation shall introduce additional measures corresponding to at least 10 g CO2/km. 1c. CO2 emissions shall be measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing provisions. Additional Additional proven measures taken by automobile manufacturers and their component suppliers which lead to further reductions in greenhouse gas emissions shall be taken into account in connection with vehicle technology requirements, pursuant to Article 6 and Annex III.

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.

In 2014 a target shall be set for 2020 which guarantees, on the basis of the aggregate impact of all relevant measures, a further reduction in average CO2 emissions of at least 20% by comparison with the individual target for the period 2012-2015. In that connection, due account shall be taken of climate protection developments at international level.

(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.
