Article 10 - paragraphs 1 d and e
(ac) The following paragraphs are inserted: "1d. By way of derogation, Member States may authorise the production and mounting of replacement engines that do not comply with Stage III A requirements, in the following cases: (i) for a renewal or upgrading of an existing railcar, train-set or locomotive, when the application of Stage III A requirements would raise important technical difficulties in terms of gauge, axle load, body/chassis design or engine(s) control systems for multiple operation and, as a consequence, compromise the economic viability of the project; under the condition that the application is accompanied by an impact assessment providing a sufficient justification for the derogation and proving that the overall emission levels when compared to the original engines will be improved. (ii) where, following a railcar, train-set or locomotive accident or a catastrophic failure of its engine(s), the application of Stage III A requirements would raise important technical difficulties and, as a consequence, compromise the cost- effective repair of the damaged railcar, train set or locomotive. For the engines covered by this paragraph, Article 9 (3g), (3i) and (4a) shall not apply. Where a derogation is granted, the Member State granting the derogation shall, within six months, provide both the Commission and the approval authorities of the other Member States with a document, in both paper form and electronic format, which sets out: — the unique reference number of the derogation as shown on the label attached to each engine to which it refers, — the nature of the derogation, including the description of the emission levels compared with Stage III A thresholds and details of the alternative provisions which will be applied, — a detailed justification for granting the derogation, including the main technical difficulties, with their economic and environmental consequences, and a description of the design efforts made in order to approach Stage III A requirements, and, if need be, other fleet evolution and operating measures, — the number of engines which are subject to the derogation,— details of the manufacturer and of the types and serial numbers of the engines which are subject to the derogation, — details of the railway vehicles' series to which the engines will be fitted together with their operational areas, — any other information helping to justify the request for a derogation 1e. For engines placed on the market under paragraphs 1a, 1b and 1c, the text ‘REPLACEMENT ENGINE’ shall be attached to a label on the engine or inserted into the owner's manual."

Article 1 b (new)
Article 1 b (new)
Article 1b As the revision of the Directive 97/68/EC on emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants from engines in non-road mobile machinery is already under preparation in the Commission, meaning a more comprehensive review of the directive is expected in the beginning of 2012, tackling questions related to the directive in a broader manner instead of agreeing possibly harmful piecemeal legislation is a viable option; Urges thus the Commission to bring forward this planned revision.

Annex XIII – section 1 - point 1.4.
1.4 As regards engines for use in propulsion of locomotives, during the transition period between Stage III A and Stage III B an OEM may seek permission for his engine suppliers to place on the market a maximum of 120 engines for use in propulsion of locomotives under the flexibility scheme. The OEM may also seek permission for his engine suppliers to place on the market an additional amount of maximum 10 engines to be installed in locomotives which meet the structure gauge requirements of GERT 8073 issue 2 as specified in National Technical Rules notified under Article 17.3 of Directive 200857/EC.
