Proposal for a regulation
Article 4a (new)

Article 4a Flex Fuel Vehicles For the purposes of determining compliance by individual manufacturers of passenger cars with the specific emissions target referred to in Article 4, the CO2 emissions as stated in the certificate of conformity for each flex fuel ethanol vehicle registered in the European Union shall be reduced by a factor of 5% with a maximum of 8 grams per kilometre in recognition of the greater technological and emissions reduction capability to run on two different fuels. This reduction shall not be valid for vehicles with a mass-weight over 2000 kg. This factor will be increased to 20% with a maximum of 30 grams per kilometre if at least 10% of the filling stations in the Member State where the vehicle is registered provide E85 that meets the EU sustainability criteria. Also this reduction shall not be valid for vehicles with a mass-weight over 2000 kg.
