Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4) Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council12 has already established a regulatory framework for the approval and market surveillance of agricultural and forestry vehicles. Owing to the similarity of the fields and given the positive experience derived from the application of Regulation (EU) No 167/2013, many of the rights and obligations established by that Regulation shGiven that the emissions-related requirements laid down therein are based on Directive 97/68/EC, once that Directive has been repealed the Commission should, immediately after the present proposal for a regulation has been adopted, submit a proposal for a delegated act containing Stage V emission requirements in line with the current state of technology for agricultural and forestry vehicles as well. These requirements could be taken into consideration in respect of non-road machinery. However, it is essential that a distinct set of rules be adopted to fully take into account the specific requirements of engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery account of the particular demands posed by agricultural and forestry activities. Nevertheless, in the interests of fair competition, the same exhaust technology and number-based particle requirements that have long applied to heavy duty vehicles under Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 should also be laid down at least for engines in tractors that are approved for non- agricultural and forestry activities in the Member States, and that are used for commercial transport activities. __________________ 12 Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 February 2013 on the approval and market surveillance of agri cultural and forestry vehicles (OJ L 60, 2.03.2013, p. 1).

Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14 b (new)
(14b) This Regulation should be without prejudice to measures at national or Union level regarding the use of engines or non-road mobile machinery in conformity with this Regulation if this is necessary and proportionate for health and safety at work and where necessary to avoid health hazards for workers affected by emissions produced by such engines in certain applications.

Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
(15) In order to ensure that emissions of ultrafine particulate pollutants (size of 0,1 μm and below) are controlled, the Commission should be empowered to adopt a number-based approach to emissions of particulate pollutants, in addition to the mass-based approach which is currently used. The number-based approach to emissions of particles should draw on the results of the Particulate measurement programme (PMP) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), achieve at least the level of protection afforded by the existing Union legislation on road vehicles, support the requirement to minimise emissions of carcinogenic substances, and thus protect workers, and be consistent with the existing ambitious objectives for the environment.

Amendment 114 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 5 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. The provisions of this Regulation shall not affect Member States' entitlement to lay down, in due observance of the Treaty, such requirements as they may deem necessary to ensure that workers are protected when using the machinery referred to in this Regulation, provided that this does not affect the placing on the market of the engines in question.

Amendment 115 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 7 – paragraph 1
For EU type-approved engines, market surveillance authorities shall perform, on an adequate scale and on the basis of adequate samples significant percentage of samples in accordance with point 2 of Annex II to Directive 2010/31/EU, documentary checks and, where appropriate, physical and laboratory checks of engines. When doing so, they shall take account of established principles of risk assessment, of any complaints and of other relevant information.

Amendment 146 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 32 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Notwithstanding the requirements pursuant to Article 5(3) and Article 17(2), Member States may on request allow, for a period of 25 years starting from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the placing on the market of replacement engines for engine categories NRE, NRG, IWW, IWA, RLL and RLR which are not covered by a valid EU type-approval, in cases where the engine to be replaced was subject to type-approval at Union level in accordance with an emission standard that expired no more than 16 years ago. The following shall apply with regard to the granting of a request pursuant to the first subparagraph: (1) A technical inspection body or licensed service shall certify, with reference to the relevant rules laid down by UNECE Regulation 132 (REC), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Californian CARB department or VERT (Retrofit Association), that retrofitting a particle filter system is not possible for technical reasons linked to the engine or replacement parts, or that this would impair the original performance of the mobile machinery to such an extent that the normal use for which it was placed on the market would no longer be possible. (2) Certificates pursuant to point 1 above shall be forwarded to the competent authority and stored in such a way as to ensure that they can be produced during a check carried out at the place of use. (3) Operators of replacement engines shall be obliged to have the basic functioning of the particle filter system checked by a licensed service at least once a year. A visual inspection of the inside of the exhaust pipe and of the exhaust emissions when the engine is started or the use of a simple hand-held measuring device shall generally suffice for this purpose.

Amendment 211 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 57 – paragraph 8 a (new)
8a. The Commission White Paper ‘Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area – Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system’ highlights the particular role to be played by railways and inland waterways in achieving climate targets. Given the air pollution-related deficit in these modes of transport, the Commission and Member States, within their respective remits, should provide possibilities for supporting innovation in emission technology so that further expanding the volume of freight shifted to rail and inland waterways goes hand-in-hand with an improvement in terms of healthy air in Europe. –––––––––––––––––– Commission White Paper ‘Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area – Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system’ of 28.3.2011, COM(2011) 144 final.

Amendment 223 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 59 – paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. By 31 December 2020, the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council regarding: (a) the assessment of further pollutant emission reduction potential, on the basis of available technologies in conjunction with a cost/benefit analysis; (b) the identification of potentially relevant pollutant types that do not currently fall within the scope of this Regulation; (c) a proposal on emission limit values for category NRSh which takes account of potential internal and external improvements to engines (oxidation catalyst, use of special fuels and lubricating oils) and is geared to the needs of professional users.

Amendment 257 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex II – heading 2 – point 3 a (new)
3a. In the case of emissions cleaning procedures using catalysts, it shall be demonstrated that the ensuing additional reaction products pose no risk to health or the environment. A single limit value for NO2 will therefore be set for all NRMM engine categories that must be complied with when Stage V enters into force. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 55 to set a limit value with reference to relevant provisions (VERT, CARB, EPA), whereby the proportion of NO2 must be at least < 0.4 NOx.
