                     ‘ANNEX IV

PROVISIONS FOR TRACTORS AND ENGINES PLACED ON THE MARKET UNDER THE FLEXIBILITY SCHEME LAID DOWN IN ARTICLE 3A

1.   ACTIONS BY THE ENGINE AND THE TRACTOR MANUFACTURERS

1.1.   A tractor manufacturer, who wishes to make use of the flexibility scheme, shall request permission from his approval authority to place or to source from his engine suppliers, in the period between two emissions stages, the quantities of engines described in section 1.2 and 1.3 that do not comply with the current emission limit values, but are approved to the nearest previous stage of emission limits.

1.2.   The number of engines placed on the market under a flexibility scheme shall, in each engine category, not exceed 20 % of the tractor manufacturer’s annual sales of tractors with engines in that engine category (calculated as the average of the latest 5 years sales on the EU market). In the case that a tractor manufacturer has marketed tractors in the EU for a period of less than five years the average will be calculated based on the period for which the tractor manufacturer has marketed tractors in the EU.

1.3.   As an alternative option to section 1.2, the tractor manufacturer may seek permission for his engine suppliers to place on the market a fixed number of engines under the flexibility scheme. The number of engines in each engine category shall not exceed the following values:

1.4.   The tractor manufacturer shall include in his application to an approval authority the following information:

1.5.   The tractor manufacturer shall provide the approval authority with any information connected with the implementation of the flexibility scheme that the approval authority may request necessary to make a decision.

1.6.   The tractor manufacturer shall file a report every six months to the approval authorities of each Member State, where the tractor or engine is put on the market, on the implementation of the flexibility schemes he is using. The report shall include cumulative data on the number of engines and tractors placed on the market under the flexibility scheme, engine and tractor serial numbers, and the Member States where the tractor has been entered into service. This procedure shall be continued as long as a flexibility scheme is still in progress.

2.   ACTIONS BY THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER

2.1.   An engine manufacturer may supply engines to a tractor manufacturer under a flexibility scheme covered by an approval in accordance with section 1 of this annex.

2.2.   The engine manufacturer must put a label on those engines with the following text: “Engine placed on the market under the flexibility scheme”.

3.   ACTIONS BY THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY

The approval authority shall evaluate the content of the flexibility scheme request and the enclosed documents. As a consequence it will inform the tractor manufacturer of its decision as to whether or not to allow use of the flexibility scheme.’
