Recital 14 b (new)
Recital 14 b (new)
(14b) This Regulation should be without prejudice to measures at national or Union level regarding the use of engines or non-road mobile machinery in conformity with this Regulation if this is necessary and proportionate for health and safety at work and where necessary to avoid health hazards for workers affected by emissions produced by such engines in certain applications.

Recital 16 a (new)
Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) Based on the successful experience in Directives 1999/96/EC and 2005/55/EC, a voluntary Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Engine (EEE) standard should be set at Union level, consistent with the principles of the Union internal market.
