of gaseous pollutant emissions of in -service engines operated during their normal 
operating duty cycles to determine to which extent the emission measured from the test 
cycle correspond to the actual operation. Article 60(3) of that Regulation requir es the 
Commission, by 31 December 2025, to submit a report to the European Parliament and 
to the Council regarding the monitoring of the results of the emission tests set out in 
Article 19 and the conclusions thereof. The Commission shall, therefore, set o ut
