COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2017/1502

of 2 June 2017

amending Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council for the purpose of adapting them to the change in the regulatory test procedure for the measurement of CO2 from light duty vehicles

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community's integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8(9) and the second subparagraph of Article 13(7) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | A new regulatory test procedure for measuring CO2 emissions and fuel consumption from light duty vehicles, the World Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (2) will replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), which is currently used pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (3), with effect starting from 1 September 2017. The WLTP is expected to provide CO2 emission and fuel consumption values that are more representative of real driving conditions. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

A new regulatory test procedure for measuring CO2 emissions and fuel consumption from light duty vehicles, the World Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (2) will replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), which is currently used pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (3), with effect starting from 1 September 2017. The WLTP is expected to provide CO2 emission and fuel consumption values that are more representative of real driving conditions.

| (2) | In order to take into account the difference in the level of CO2 emissions measured under the existing NEDC and the new WLTP procedures, a methodology for correlating those values has been put in place pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 (4). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In order to take into account the difference in the level of CO2 emissions measured under the existing NEDC and the new WLTP procedures, a methodology for correlating those values has been put in place pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 (4).

| (3) | The correlation methodology is to be used during the phasing-in of the WLTP until end of 2020 to ensure that manufacturers' compliance with the CO2 emission targets can be verified on the basis of the NEDC emission values during that period. As a consequence, WLTP based specific CO2 emission targets should be applied with effect from the calendar year 2021. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The correlation methodology is to be used during the phasing-in of the WLTP until end of 2020 to ensure that manufacturers' compliance with the CO2 emission targets can be verified on the basis of the NEDC emission values during that period. As a consequence, WLTP based specific CO2 emission targets should be applied with effect from the calendar year 2021.

| (4) | In 2020 the CO2 emissions of all new vehicles registered is to be determined on the basis of both the NEDC and the WLTP in accordance with the correlation methodology. By monitoring both those CO2 values, robust datasets should be available for comparing the level of emissions resulting from the two test procedures. Those datasets should allow the determination of WLTP based specific emission targets that are of a stringency comparable to those determined by reference to NEDC measurements in accordance with the requirement set out in Article 13(7) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. |

Those datasets should allow the determination of WLTP based specific emission targets that are of a stringency comparable to those determined by reference to NEDC measurements in accordance with the requirement set out in Article 13(7) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.

| (5) | For the purpose of setting a manufacturer's specific emission target in 2021, the average WLTP CO2 emissions of the new cars registered in 2020 should be used as reference value. The specific emission target should be determined by either increasing or decreasing that reference value proportionally to the manufacturer's performance in meeting its NEDC based target in 2020. |

For the purpose of setting a manufacturer's specific emission target in 2021, the average WLTP CO2 emissions of the new cars registered in 2020 should be used as reference value. The specific emission target should be determined by either increasing or decreasing that reference value proportionally to the manufacturer's performance in meeting its NEDC based target in 2020.

| (6) | In order to ensure that the WLTP based specific emission targets remain comparable over time, account should be taken of annual changes in the average mass of the manufacturer's fleet. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

In order to ensure that the WLTP based specific emission targets remain comparable over time, account should be taken of annual changes in the average mass of the manufacturer's fleet.

| (7) | A number of new parameters should be added to the detailed data that is to be monitored following the introduction of the WLTP. Under the WLTP the CO2 emission values are to be calculated taking into account the specific configuration of each individual vehicle. In order to ensure that the vehicles can be identified and the data effectively verified by manufacturers as well as by the Commission, it is appropriate to base the monitoring on vehicle identification numbers. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1503

of 25 August 2017

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/68 on common procedures and specifications necessary for the interconnection of electronic registers of driver cards

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 February 2014 on tachographs in road transport (1), and in particular Article 31(5) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 requires Member States to interconnect their national electronic registers on driver cards through the TACHOnet messaging system. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 requires Member States to interconnect their national electronic registers on driver cards through the TACHOnet messaging system.

| (2) | Common procedures and specifications necessary for the interconnection of electronic registers of driver cards through the TACHOnet messaging system are laid down by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/68 (2). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Common procedures and specifications necessary for the interconnection of electronic registers of driver cards through the TACHOnet messaging system are laid down by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/68 (2).

| (3) | The connection to the TACHOnet messaging system can be carried out either directly through a Trans European Services for Telematics between Administrations (‘Testa’) connection or indirectly through a Member State already connected to Testa. Traditionally, indirect connections have been bilaterally agreed through contracts signed by representatives of the entities involved at national level without the Commission intervening. However, in order to prevent potential misuse of the connection and to ensure the correct operation of the system, the Commission, in its capacity as general manager of the TACHOnet messaging system, should receive due and timely information about the interest of a national authority in connecting to the TACHOnet messaging system. |

In addition to Member States, the TACHOnet messaging system is in practice open to third countries. The Commission should therefore ensure that third countries comply with the same obligations as Member States regarding the TACHOnet messaging system.

| (5) | Some minor amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/68 should be made in order to address the following aspects in a more precise and clear manner: the procedure for connection to the TACHOnet messaging system, the preliminary tests to be performed and the consequences of failure, the content of some XML messages, the determination of the escalation procedure to be followed by Member States in case of system errors, and the time that personal data can be retained in the logs of the central hub. |

| (6) | The new version of the TACHOnet messaging system will apply from 2 March 2018. However, in order to enable certain preparatory steps to be taken, the provisions relating to connection by third countries, preliminary tests and indirect access should apply from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. |
