Recital 22
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 ofccording to 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 costsbe similar to those paid in other sectors under the EU emissions trading scheme. The amounts of the excess emissions premium should be considered as revenue for the budget of the European Union.

Recital 22a (new)
Recital 22a (new)
22a. The existing European type approval system does not cover all technical options available for achieving CO2 improvements. Thus, it is necessary to define an assessment process establishing provisions for assessing the CO2 reduction potentials attributed to introduction of technology measures ("eco-innovations"). Those technologies which are not reflected, or not sufficiently reflected, when measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing measures. Approvals for eco-innovations shall be granted as a means to provide additional incentives to manufacturers by means of counting those benefits towards the achievements of their specific CO2 reduction targets.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 4
Article 4
For the calendar year commencing 1 January 2012 and each subsequent calendar year, each manufacturer of passenger cars shall ensure that itsthe average specific emissions of CO2 accounted for by 25% of its vehicles in 2012, 50% in 2013, 75% in 2014, and 100% in 2015 and every year thereafter do not exceed itsthe specific emissions target for that manufacturer’s vehicles as a whole determined in accordance with Annex I or, where a manufacturer is granted a derogation under Article 9, in accordance with that derogation. To that end, CO2 emissions, adjusted to allow for the reduction achieved through eco- innovations, must be brought into equilibrium over two consecutive years, as stipulated in Article 7.
Amendment 139 #

Article 7 – paragraph 1
Article 7 – paragraph 1
1. In respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards for which a manufacturer's average specific emissions of CO2, adjusted for CO2 emission reductions delivered by eco-innovations and balanced over two consecutive years, exceed its specific emissions target in that year, the Commission shall impose an excess emissions premium on the manufacturer or, in the case of a pool, the pool manager.
Amendment 146 #

3. The excess emissions premium shall be: (a) in relation to excess emissions in the calendar year 2012, 20 euros; (b) in relation to excess emissions in the calendar year 2013, 35 euros; (c) in relation to excess emissions in the calendar year 2014, 60 euros; and (d) in relation to excess emissions in the calendar year 2015 and subsequent calendar years, 95 eurosmust be similar to the penalties paid by other sectors, as laid down under the EU emissions trading scheme.
