Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) In its opinions on the Commission communications of 7 February 2007 the European Parliament pointed out that the development of new types of cars takes five to seven years and therefore now calls on the Commission not to set definitively binding CO2 emissions targets before 2015.

(12) In order to maintain the diversity of the car market and its ability to cater for different consumer needs, CO2 targets for passenger cars should be defined as a function of the utility of the cars on a linear basis. To describe this utility, mass is the most appropriate parameter because it provides a satisfactory correlation with present emissions and would therefore result in more realistic and competitively neutral targets and because data on mass is readily available. Data on the alternative utility parameter of footprint (track width times wheelbase) should, however, be collected in order to facilitate longer-term evaluations of the utility-based approach. In the establishment of the targets, the projected evolution of new cars' mass until 20125 should be taken into account, and potential incentives to increase vehicle mass just in order to benefit from a consequential increase of the CO2 reduction target should be avoided. Therefore, the possible future autonomous mass increase evolution of vehicles produced by the manufacturers and sold on the EU market should be taken into account when defining the targets for 20125. Finally, differentiation of targets should encourage emissions reductions to be made in all categories of cars while recognising that larger emission reductions can be made for heavier cars.

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 20125 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 Union.

(10a) In its resolution1 on the Commission communications of 7 February 2007, Parliament points out that the development of new types of passenger cars takes between five and seven years, and therefore requests the Commission not to set any final mandatory targets for CO2 emissions for any date before 2015. 1 European Parliament resolution of 15 January 2008 on CARS 21: A Competitive Automotive Regulatory Framework (P6_TA(2008)0007).

Proposal for a regulation
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. 2. The target of 120 g/km must be achieved in 2012 by 25%, in 2013 by 50%, in 2014 by 75% and in 2015 by 100% of the new car fleet. 3. 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. T4. As part of the Community's integrated approach, this Regulation will be complemented by all additional measures corresponding to 10 g/km as part of the Community's integrated approachwhich can contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. These measures shall correspond to at least 10 g CO2/km.
