Recital 12
(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 therebetter incentives fore result in more realistic and competitively neutral targets and because dataducing the weight of vehicles than the alternative parameter onf mass is readily available. Data on the alternative utility parameter of footprint (track width times wheelbase) should, however. 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.

(13a) In recognition of the very high research and development and unit production costs of early generations of very low carbon vehicle technologies to be introduced into the marketplace following its entry into force, on an interim basis, this Regulation also incorporates specific provisions aimed at accelerating the introduction to the European Market of ultra low carbon vehicles at their initial stages of commercialisation.

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 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 Unionredistributed to manufacturers or, in the case of a pool, the pool manager, with average specific emissions of CO2 below the target, and in proportion to the estimated total savings made.
Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1
Article 1
Subject matter and, 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/kmof reducing CO2 emissions in the EU, including in the transport sector. The Regulations sets the average CO2 emissions for new passenger cars at 130 g CO2/kma target, for the new car fleet, of an average 125 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2015 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. The Regulation also sets a target, for the new car fleet, of average emissions of no more than 80 g CO2/km as from 1 January 2020.

Article 9a 1. Eco-innovations are innovative technologies on the car that verifiably reduce CO2 emissions independently of driver behaviour but are not or only insufficiently reflected in the CO2 measurement according to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. 2. The Committee referred to in Article 12(1) of this Regulation shall decide upon applications for eco-innovations, including the real-world CO2 reduction associated with a technology. 3. An application for an eco-innovation can be presented by manufacturers or suppliers of this technology. Applications must be substantiated by technical data on the CO2 reduction associated with a technology. Such data has to be certified by a third party. Institutions notified according to Article 41 of Directive 2007/46/EC may act as certifying third parties. 4. Eco-innovations shall be considered in the monitoring of this Regulation on the basis of credits given for their installation as standard equipment in vehicle types or versions thereof. The credit associated with a technology shall be no higher than 75% of the real-world CO2 reduction decided according to paragraph 2. The Committee referred to in Article 12(1) may furthermore limit the validity of credits over time, or decide that these credits shall be applied degressively over a certain time period.
