THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework                           for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for                           such vehicles (Framework Directive)(1), and in particular Article 39(2) thereof,                        

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 of 18 July 2008, implementing and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007                           of the European Parliament and of the Council 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(2), and in particular Articles 4(3), 5(4), 6(2) and Article 12 thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Article 12 of 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(3), provides that the CO2 savings achieved through the use of innovative technologies shall be considered for the calculation of each manufacturer’s                              average specific emissions of CO2. Detailed rules on the approval and certification of innovative technologies are set out in Commission Implementing Regulation                              (EU) No 725/2011 of 25 July 2011 establishing a procedure for the approval and certification of innovative technologies for                              reducing CO2 emissions from passenger cars pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council(4).

(2)Paragraph 4 of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 provides that the Commission shall review Directive 2007/46/EC, so                              that each type/variant/version corresponds to a unique set of innovative technologies.

(3)In order to ensure efficient monitoring of the specific CO2 savings for individual vehicles, vehicles fitted with eco-innovations should be certified as part of the type approval of                              a vehicle and the savings must, in accordance with Article 11(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, be specified                              separately in both the type approval documentation and the certificate of conformity in accordance with Directive 2007/46/EC.

(4)In consequence, it becomes necessary to modify the documents used in the type-approval process, in order to adequately reflect                              the information related to eco-innovations.

(5)The amendment of the documents used for type-approval aims, on the one hand, at providing the approval authorities with the                              adequate data for certifying vehicles fitted with eco-innovations, and, on the other hand, at integrating the CO2 savings of the eco-innovations as part of the representative information of a specific type, variant or version of vehicle.

(6)It is necessary to adapt Annex VIII to Directive 2007/46/EC, in order to include the relevant information about test results,                              as provided in the relevant emission legislation on pollutants from light duty and heavy duty vehicles.

(7)Directive 2007/46/EC and Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,
