Directive 97/68/EC
Article 10 – paragraphs 1 d and 1 e (new)

(-ab) The following paragraphs are added: "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; 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."
