(10) The Communications proposed an integrated approach with a view to reaching the Community target of 120 g CO2/km by 2012 and announced that the Commission would propose a legislative framework to achieve the Community objective byA legislative framework focusing on mandatory reductions of emissions of CO2 is needed to reach the objectiveCommunity target of 1320 g CO2/km by 2012 for the average new car fleet by means of improvements in vehicle motor technology. Consistent with the approach under the voluntary commitments adopted by the manufacturers, this covers those elements that are taken into account in the measurement of the CO2 emissions of passenger cars in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information. A further reduction of 10 g CO2/km, or equivalent if technically necessary, will be delivered by other technological improvements and by an increased use of biofuels. In addition, consumer behaviour has an aeffect on overall emissions from passenger cars and therefore consumers should be provided with information regarding whether new passenger cars meet the emission targets set under this Regulation.

(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, massfootprint (track width times wheelbase) 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, howeverbetter incentives for vehicle downsizing than the alternative parameter mass. Data on the parameter of footprint should, in any case, 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 and footprint until 2012 should be taken into account, and potential incentives to increase vehicle mass or footprint 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 as well as the possible future autonomous footprint increase evolution of vehicles produced by the manufacturers and sold on the EU market should be taken into account when defining the targets for 2012. 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.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 1
Article 1
Subject matter and objectives Subject matter, objectives and targets 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/kmof reducing CO2 emissions in the EU, including in the transport sector. The Regulation sets a target, for the new car fleet, of an average 120 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2012, 80 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2020 and 60 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2025 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.

Article 4
For the calendar year commencing 1 January 2012 and each subsequent calendar year, each manufacturer of passenger cars shall ensure that its average specific emissions of CO2 do not exceed its specific emissions target determined in accordance with Annex I or, where a manufacturer is granted a derogation under Article 9, in accordance with that derogation.

1a. By 31 December 2009, at the latest, the Commission shall present a proposal to include light duty commercial vehicles as defined in Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC in this Regulation, setting the average emissions level to 175 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2012 and not more than 160 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2015.

2. In 2010, the Commission shall assess, on the basis of data reported under Decision 1753/2000/EC, whether between 2006 and 2009 there has been a change in the massfootprint of new passenger cars greater or less than 0. If there has been a change in the massfootprint of new passenger cars, the figure for the autonomous massfootprint increase in Annex I shall be amended to be the average of the annual changes in the massfootprint between the calendar year 2006 to 2009.

Annex I – paragraph 1
1. For each new passenger car registered in the Community in the year commencing 1 January 2012, the permitted specific emissions of CO2, measured in grams per kilometre, shall be determined in accordance with the following formula: Permitted specific emissions of CO2 = 1320 + a × (MF – MF0) Where: MF = massfootprint of the vehicle in kilogramsquare meters (kgm2) MF0 = 1289.03.91 × f f = (1 + AMFI)6 Autonomous massfootprint increase (AMFI) = 0 % a = 0.045715.56
