(3) The type-approval requirements relating to emissions from motor vehicles have been gradually and significantly tightened through the introduction and subsequent revision of Euro standards. While vehicles in general have delivered substantial emission reductions across the range of regulated pollutants, this was not the case for NOx emissions from diesel engines or particles for gasoline direct injection engines, installed in particular in light-duty vehicles. Actions for correcting this situation are therefore needed. |

(3a) The 2019 Air Quality Report1a published by the European Environment Agency (EEA) estimated that in 2016 long-term exposure to air pollution has been responsible to more than 506 000 premature deaths in the EU-28. The report also confirmed that road transport continued to be the primary source of NOx emissions in the EU-28 in 2017, representing around 40 % of total EU NOx emissions, and that around 80 % of the total NOx emission from road transport is generated by diesel powered vehicles; |

(3c) Recent violations of the existing legal framework by manufacturers, including violations of their legal obligations under Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, demonstrated the weaknesses of control and enforcement mechanisms. Consumers were left without satisfactory compensation, since even where compensation was granted, it often did not bring the vehicles into conformity with Euro 5 and 6 standards. Since the increasing number of diesel bans across European cities affect citizens’ daily life, adequate compensation measures would be to equip non-compliant vehicles with the adapted exhaust treatment technology (hardware change) or, in the event that the consumer wished to exchange a purchased vehicle for a cleaner model, the offer of conversion premiums. |

(6a) According to the EEA report from 2016, the gap between real-world and laboratory emissions was mainly due to three factors: an outdated test procedure, flexibilities in the current procedure and in-use factors which are driver dependent. A study is required in order to establish the margin that is due to the driving style and to the outside temperature. A clear distinction should be made between the CF, the device-related margin and the margin of the in-use factor which is driver- and temperature-dependent. |

(7) On 13 December 2018, the General Court delivered judgment in Joined Cases T-339/16, T-352/16 and T-391/1622 concerning an action for annulment of Regulation (EU) 2016/646. The General Court annulled the part of Regulation (EU) 2016/646 which established the conformity factors used to assess compliance of RDE test results with the emission limits laid down in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. The Court found that only the legislator could introduce those conformity factors as they touched upon an essential element of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. |

The Court found that only the legislator could introduce those conformity factors as they touched upon an essential element of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and “result in the de facto amendment of the limits on the emissions of oxides of nitrogen laid down for the Euro 6 standards, even though those limits are to apply to those tests”. |

(8) The General Court did not question the technical justification of the conformity factors. Therefore, and given that at the current stage of technological development there is still a discrepancy between emissions measured in real driving and those measured in a laboratory, it is appropriate to introduce the conformity factors into Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. |
(8) The General Court raised doubts as to “whether the Commission’s reliance on possible statistical errors is well founded”, in particular as regards the temporary conformity factor of 2,1 and stated that “statistical uncertainties are corrected by representativeness of the sample or of the testing or by the volume of testing”. Moreover, as regards the introduced margin of technical uncertainty, the Court affirmed that “it is impossible to determine, following an RDE test, whether a vehicle being tested complies with the legal limits or is even close to them”. Any measurement equipment has a margin of technical uncertainty and PEMS equipment, given their use in more variable conditions, has been found to have a somewhat larger margin compared to non-mobile laboratory equipment even though this can in fact mean both over- and under-estimating emissions. Given that at the current stage of technological development there is still a discrepancy between emissions measured in real driving and those measured in a laboratory, it is appropriate to temporarily introduce conformity factors into Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. |

(9) In order to allow manufacturers to comply with the Euro 6 emission limits in the context of RDE test procedure, the compliance criteria for RDE should be introduced in two steps. During the first step, upon the request of the manufacturer, a temporary conformity factor should apply, while as a second step only the final conformity factor should be used. The Commission should keep under review the final conformity factors in light of technical progress. |
(9) In order to allow manufacturers to comply with the Euro 6 emission limits in the context of the RDE test procedure, the compliance criteria for RDE should be introduced in two steps. During the first step, upon the request of the manufacturer, a temporary conformity factor should apply, while as a second step only the final conformity factor should be used. The final conformity factor should apply during a transition period and include a margin expressing the additional measurement uncertainty linked with the introduction of the PEMS. The Commission should continuously assess that conformity factor in light of technical progress and annually adjust it downwards on the basis of scientific evidence, the improved accuracy of the measuring procedure and technical progress of the PEMS. The conformity factor should be gradually lowered and cease to apply by 30 September 2022. |

(9b) It is important to emphasise that while this proposal deals with the conformity factor, the issue of the emission limit standards is to be dealt with in the context of the forthcoming post-Euro 6 proposal. In order to ensure swift progress towards the adoption of the future (post - Euro 6) emission limit values and improved air quality for Union citizens, it is essential that the Commission present, where appropriate, a legislative proposal to that effect as soon as possible and at the latest by June 2021, as announced in its communication of 11 December 2019 on "The European Green Deal", which highlights the need to shift to sustainable and smart mobility and ensure a pathway towards zero-emission mobility. No conformity factors should be used in the implementation of the post-Euro 6 standards. |

(10) The Treaty of Lisbon introduced the possibility for the legislator to delegate power to the Commission to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of a legislative act. The measures which can be covered by delegations of powers, as referred to in Article 290(1) TFEU, correspond in principle to those covered by the regulatory procedure with scrutiny established by Article 5a of Council Decision 1999/468/EC23 . It is therefore necessary to adapt to Article 290 TFEU the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 which provide for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny. |

(11) In order to contribute to the achievement of the Union’s air quality objectives and to reduce vehicle emissions, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFUE) should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the detailed rules on the specific procedures, tests and requirements for type approval. That delegation should include supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 by such revised rules as well as the test cycles used to measure emissions; the requirements for the implementation of the prohibition on the use of defeat devices that reduce the effectiveness of emission control systems; the measures necessary for the implementation of the obligation of a manufacturer to provide unrestricted and standardised access to vehicle repair and maintenance information; the adoption of a revised measurement procedure for particulates. The delegation should further include amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for the purposes of revising the final conformity factors downwards to reflect technical progress in PEMS and recalibrating the particulate mass based limit values and introducing particle number based limit values. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations are conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-Making of 13 April 2016. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council should receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically should have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. |

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
On 13 December 2018, the General Court of the European Union partly annulled Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/646. The judgment states[2] that the European Commission had no power to introduce conformity factors used to assess compliance of the vehicle with the emission limits while performing a Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test simply by using its implementing powers to amend Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6). As the Court ruled that conformity factors should be adopted through the ordinary legislative procedure, the European Commission adopted on 14 June 2019 a legislative proposal to amend Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, re-instating the conformity factors previously adopted in Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/646.
The Rapporteur finds it appropriate to re-install conformity factors consisting of the requirements for the vehicle to meet the emission limit standards Euro 5 and 6, which may not be exceeded, set out in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and the margin of error resulting from statistical and technical uncertainties of the Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PEMS). The Rapporteur introduces amendments to make clear that the conformity factor consists of the emission limits and the device-related error margin. Furthermore, the Rapporteur empowers the Commission to annually review downwards the conformity factors as a result of the improved quality of the measuring procedure or technical progress of the PEMS. Moreover, the Rapporteur calls on the Commission to present its post-Euro 6 proposal by mid-2021 taking into account the upcoming results of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN TC301) on a draft international standard to assess PEMS equipment.
OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE INTERNAL MARKET AND CONSUMER PROTECTION (19.2.2020)
for the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety
on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information
(COM(2019)0208 – C9‑0009/2019 – 2019/0101(COD))
Rapporteur for opinion (*): Anna Cavazzini
(*) Associated committee – Rule 57 of the Rules of Procedure.
SHORT JUSTIFICATION
The core element of this legislative proposal concerns the introduction of conformity factors used to assess the compliance of vehicles with the Euro 6 emission limits set out in EU legislation while performing Real Driving Emissions (RDE) tests. The argument put forward by the Commission to justify such an introduction is that such factors are needed to reduce discrepancies between emission measurements in laboratory and in real use conditions. This proposal came after the General Court of the European Court of Justice issued a ruling on the amendment of the Euro 6 norms through delegated act by stating that it would amend an essential element of the legislation, i.e. artificially increase the limits for NOx emissions by introducing a conformity factor. The Court of Justice confirmed thus that this would require a regular legislative procedure.
The Rapporteur is of the opinion that the introduction of conformity factors for RDE measurements is a wrong signal at a time where urgent action is required to enable Member States to comply with the Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC) and to ensure that Euro 6 emission limits are met under normal conditions. Car manufacturers should start designing vehicles complying with the emission limits set in legislation and not receive some leeway to escape their obligations. Furthermore, it triggers some uncertainty when it comes to approval and market surveillance activities by introducing a margin of error that makes it effectively difficult to determine whether vehicles comply or not with the agreed standards. However, her draft opinion does not touch upon environment-related aspects in the legal text, i.e. conformity factors; those being of ENVI competence, in line with the agreement found between our two Committees’ Chairs, while expressing the doubts mentioned above. IMCO exclusive competence relates to Repair and Maintenance Information under Chapter III of Regulation 715/2007/EU, a Chapter that is amended and consolidated in Regulation 858/2018. Amendments concerning those parts are therefore of technical nature.
As regards provisions specifying the conditions for delegated powers to the Commission (Article 1(11) [Article 14a]), the proposal of the Rapporteur is to shorten the period from five years to two years to assess by end 2022 whether further measures are needed. The European Commission committed publicly to bring the conformity factor down to 1 as soon as possible and at the latest by 2023. Delegation powers conferred should therefore respect the same timeframe.

(3b) Recent violations of the existing legal framework by manufacturers, including violations of their legal obligations under Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, demonstrated the weaknesses of control and enforcement mechanisms. Consumers were left without satisfactory compensation, since even where compensation was granted, it often did not bring the vehicles into conformity with Euro 5 and 6 standards. Since the increasing number of diesel bans across European cities affect citizens’ daily life, adequate compensation measures would be the equipment of non-compliant vehicles with the adapted exhaust treatment technology (hardware change) or, in the event that the consumer wished to exchange a purchased vehicle for a cleaner model, the offer of conversion premiums. |

(11) In order to contribute to the achievement of the Union’s air quality objectives and to reduce vehicle emissions, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFUE) should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the detailed rules on the specific procedures, tests and requirements for type approval. That delegation should include supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 by such revised rules as well as the test cycles used to measure emissions; the requirements for the implementation of the prohibition on the use of defeat devices that reduce the effectiveness of emission control systems; the measures necessary for the implementation of the obligation of a manufacturer to provide unrestricted and standardised access to vehicle repair and maintenance information; the adoption of a revised measurement procedure for particulates. The delegation should further include amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for the purposes of revising the final conformity factors downwards to reflect technical progress in PEMS and recalibrating the particulate mass based limit values and introducing particle number based limit values. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations are conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-Making of 13 April 2016. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council should receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically should have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. |

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORT AND TOURISM (19.2.2020)
for the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety
on the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information
(COM(2019)0208 – C9‑0009/2019 – 2019/0101(COD))
Rapporteur for opinion: Sven Schulze
SHORT JUSTIFICATION
The opinion of the Committee on Transport for the Committee on the Environment, as the committee responsible, was rendered necessary by a court ruling on EU jurisdiction.
In a judgment of 13 December 2018, it was found that conformity factors for type approval under Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council1 should not have been introduced through the comitology procedure. The ordinary legislative procedure should have been used instead. An appeal procedure against this judgment is pending. However, the Commission has decided to submit, concurrently, a legislative proposal for the introduction of conformity factors.
The rapporteur welcomes the Commission’s intention to ensure legal certainty and reliability for manufacturers and consumers through this legislative proposal. This also includes, in the opinion of the rapporteur, the fact that manufacturers and consumers can continue to rely on the conformity factors which are familiar from the comitology procedure.
He would like to suggest that the conformity factors be clearly separated from error margins in future and is proposing amendments to this effect.

(3) The type-approval requirements relating to emissions from motor vehicles have been gradually and significantly tightened through the introduction and subsequent revision of Euro standards. While vehicles in general have delivered substantial emission reductions across the range of regulated pollutants, this was not the case for NOx emissions from diesel engines or particles for gasoline direct injection engines, installed in particular in light-duty vehicles. Actions for correcting this situation are therefore needed. |
(3) The type-approval requirements relating to emissions from motor vehicles have been gradually and significantly tightened through the introduction and subsequent revision of Euro standards. While vehicles in general have delivered substantial emission reductions across the range of regulated pollutants covered by this regime, this was not the case for NOx emissions from diesel engines or particles for gasoline direct injection engines, installed in particular in light-duty vehicles. To achieve a further reduction of NOx emission in real driving conditions the development of new technologies via certification and standardisation of PEMS devices is needed. The error margin should be revised by the Commission downwards on an annual basis until a high level of accuracy is reached, reflecting the improved quality of the measuring procedure and the technical progress of PEMS equipment, unless the Commission justifies the reason for not being able to do so. |

Text proposed by the Commission |
Amendment |
(8) The General Court did not question the technical justification of the conformity factors. Therefore, and given that at the current stage of technological development there is still a discrepancy between emissions measured in real driving and those measured in a laboratory, it is appropriate to introduce the conformity factors into Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. |
(8) The General Court did not question the technical justification of the conformity factors and error margins. Therefore, and given that at the current stage of technological development there is still a discrepancy between emissions measured in real driving and those measured in a laboratory, it is appropriate to introduce the exact same conformity factors and the error margin when using PEMS into Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. |

Amendment |
(9) In order to allow manufacturers to comply with the Euro 6 emission limits in the context of RDE test procedure, the compliance criteria for RDE should be introduced in two steps. During the first step, upon the request of the manufacturer, a temporary conformity factor should apply, while as a second step only the final conformity factor should be used. The Commission should keep under review the final conformity factors in light of technical progress. |
(9) In order to allow manufacturers to comply with the Euro 6 emission limits in the context of RDE test procedure, the compliance criteria for RDE should be introduced in two steps. During the first step, upon the request of the manufacturer, a temporary conformity factor should apply, while as a second step only the final conformity factor should be used. The Commission should keep the error margin under annual review, taking into account the technical progress of motor vehicles and of Portable Emission Measurement Instruments (PEMS), and use them for future legislative acts. |
Amendment 8
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9 a (new)
|
|
Text proposed by the Commission |
Amendment |
|
(9 a) To avoid legal uncertainty on type approvals already granted since 1 September 2017 as well as on future type approvals, it is of great importance to re-instate all the previously adopted conformity factors and error margins without change to the global figure, especially considering that manufacturers have already designed their vehicles taking into account the RDE procedure previously adopted. In order to revise the error margin downwards, the Commission is called upon to take into consideration any standards adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) for a standard procedure to assess RDE measurement uncertainty with regard to gaseous and particle emissions. The Commission will therefore mandate CEN to work out a PEMS-Performance Standard for determination of individual error margins of PEM-Systems. Before applying a PEMS-Performance Standard the Commission is committed to keeping the error margin under annual review and to update it only once improvements in the measuring technology are made. |

Recital 11

|
Text proposed by the Commission |
Amendment |
(11) In order to contribute to the achievement of the Union’s air quality objectives and to reduce vehicle emissions, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFUE) should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the detailed rules on the specific procedures, tests and requirements for type approval. That delegation should include supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 by such revised rules as well as the test cycles used to measure emissions; the requirements for the implementation of the prohibition on the use of defeat devices that reduce the effectiveness of emission control systems; the measures necessary for the implementation of the obligation of a manufacturer to provide unrestricted and standardised access to vehicle repair and maintenance information; the adoption of a revised measurement procedure for particulates. The delegation should further include amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for the purposes of revising the final conformity factors downwards to reflect technical progress in PEMS and recalibrating the particulate mass based limit values and introducing particle number based limit values. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations are conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-Making of 13 April 2016. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council should receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically should have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. |

The result shall remain below the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of that Annex.; |
Those obligations include compliancewith the emission limits set out in Annex I. For the purposes of determining compliance with the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of Annex I, the emission values determined during any valid Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test shall be divided by the applicable conformity factor or, where specified, by the sum of the applicable conformity factor and error margin set out in Table 2a of Annex I. The result shall comply with the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of that Annex.”; |
