THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission                           performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union's integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles(1), and in particular Articles 8(6) and 10(1) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)The Commission is required, pursuant to Article 8(6) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, to confirm or amend each year the average                              specific emissions of CO2 and the specific emissions target for each manufacturer of light commercial vehicles in the Union. On that basis, the Commission                              is to determine whether manufacturers and pools of manufacturers formed in accordance with Article 7(1) of that Regulation                              have complied with their specific emissions targets in accordance with Article 4 of that Regulation.

(2)For the calendar years 2012 and 2013, the specific emissions targets are not binding and the Commission should therefore calculate                              indicative targets. As those indicative targets will serve as indicators to manufacturers of the effort required to reach                              the mandatory target in 2014, it is appropriate to determine the average specific emissions of CO2 of manufacturers for 2012 and 2013 in accordance with the requirements set out in the third paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation                              (EU) No 510/2011 and take into account 70 % of the manufacturer's new light commercial vehicles registered in that year.

(3)The detailed data to be used for the calculation of the average specific emissions of CO2 and the specific emissions targets are set out in point 1 of Part A of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and are based                              on Member States' registrations of new light commercial vehicles.

(4)Where light commercial vehicles are type-approved in a multi-stage process, point 7 of Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EU)                              No 510/2011 requires that the manufacturer of the base vehicle take responsibility for the CO2 emissions of the completed vehicle. Pending the applicability from 1 January 2014 of the procedure for determining CO2 emissions from this category of vehicles as provided for in Section 5 of Annex XII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008(2), the Commission should calculate the specific emissions target for manufacturers of base vehicles using the mass in running                              order of the completed vehicle as defined in Article 3(1)(g) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and should use the specific emissions                              of CO2 of the base vehicle in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 4 of that Regulation.

(5)The 2013 data from all Member States (except for Croatia) were submitted to the Commission by 28 February 2014 in accordance                              with Article 8(2) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. Where, as a result of the verification of the data by the Commission, it                              was evident that certain data were missing or manifestly incorrect, the Commission contacted the Member States concerned and,                              subject to the agreement of those Member States, adjusted or completed the data accordingly. Where no agreement could be reached                              with a Member State, the provisional data of that Member State were not adjusted.

(6)It should be noted that several Member States have not been able to distinguish between complete and completed light commercial                              vehicles in their current monitoring systems. As a consequence, the 2013 data for light commercial vehicles should be considered                              incomplete with regard to the monitoring of vehicles type-approved in a multi-stage process. In order to address this issue                              the monitoring systems both at Union and Member State level are to be adjusted with effect from 1 January 2015.

(7)On 21 May 2014, the Commission published the provisional data on light commercial vehicles and notified 58 manufacturers of                              the provisional calculations of their average specific emissions of CO2 in 2013 and their specific emissions targets in accordance with Article 8(4) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. Manufacturers                              were asked to verify the data and to notify the Commission of any errors within three months of receipt of the notification                              in accordance with Article 8(5) of that Regulation. 25 manufacturers submitted notifications of errors.

(8)For the 33 manufacturers that did not notify any errors in the datasets, the provisional data and provisional calculations                              of the average specific emissions of CO2 and the specific emissions targets should be confirmed without adjustments.

(9)The Commission has verified the corrections notified by the manufacturers and the respective justifications and the datasets                              have been adjusted as appropriate.

(10)In the case of records with missing or incorrect identification parameters, such as type, variant, version code or type-approval                              number, the fact that manufacturers cannot verify or correct those records should be taken into account. As a consequence,                              it is appropriate to apply an error margin to the CO2 emissions and mass values in those records.

(11)The error margin should be calculated as the difference between the distances to the specific emissions target expressed as                              the specific emissions targets subtracted from the average emissions calculated including and excluding those registrations                              that cannot be verified by the manufacturers. Regardless of whether that difference is positive or negative, the error margin                              should always improve the manufacturer's position with regard to its specific emission target.

(12)The average specific emissions of CO2 from new light commercial vehicles registered in 2013, the specific emissions targets and the difference between those two                              values should be confirmed or amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

## ANNEXU.K.

### *Table 1*

**Values relating to the performance of manufacturers referred to in Article 1**

### *Table 2*

**Values relating to the performance of pools referred to in Article 1**

### **Explanatory notes to Tables 1 and 2**U.K.

#### *Column A:*U.K.

Table 1: ‘Manufacturer name’ means the name of the manufacturer as notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned                     or, where no such notification has taken place, the name registered by the registration authority of the Member State.                  

Table 2: ‘Pool name’ means the name of the pool declared by the pool manager.

#### *Column B:*U.K.

‘D’ means that a derogation relating to a small volume manufacturer has been granted in accordance with Article 11(3) of Regulation                     (EU) No 510/2011 with effect from the monitoring year 2014, i.e. it is not used for the calculation of the performance in                     2013.                  

‘DMD’ means that a *de minimis* derogation applies, i.e. a manufacturer which together with all its connected undertakings was responsible for fewer than                     1 000 new registered vehicles in 2013 does not have to meet a specific emissions target.                  

‘P’ means that the manufacturer is a member of a pool (listed in table 2) formed in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation                     (EU) No 510/2011 and the pooling agreement is valid for the calendar year 2013.                  

#### *Column C:*U.K.

‘Number of registrations’ means the total number of new cars registered by Member States in a calendar year, not counting                     those registrations that relate to records where the values for mass or CO2 are missing and those records which the manufacturer does not recognise. The number of registrations reported by Member States                     may otherwise not be changed.                  

#### *Column D:*U.K.

‘Average CO2 (70 %) corrected’ means the average specific emissions of CO2 that have been calculated on the basis of the 70 % lowest emitting vehicles in the manufacturer's fleet in accordance with                     the third paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. Where appropriate, the average specific emissions of CO2 have been adjusted to take into account the corrections notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned. The records                     used for the calculation include those that contain a valid value for mass and CO2 emissions.                  

#### *Column E:*U.K.

‘Specific emissions target’ means the emissions target calculated on the basis of the average mass of all vehicles attributed                     to a manufacturer applying the formula set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011.                  

#### *Column F:*U.K.

‘Distance to target’ means the difference between the average specific emissions of CO2 specified in column D and the specific emissions target in column E. Where the value in column F is positive, the average                     specific emissions of CO2 exceed the specific emissions target.                  

#### *Column G:*U.K.

‘Distance to target adjusted’ means that where the values in this column are different from those in column F, the values                     in that column have been adjusted to take into account an error margin. The error margin is calculated in accordance with                     the following formula:                  

Error = absolute value of [(AC1 – TG1) – (AC2 – TG2)]

=

the average specific emissions of CO2 including the unidentifiable vehicles (as set out in column D);                     

=

the specific emissions target including the unidentifiable vehicles (as set out in column E);

=

the average specific emissions of CO2 excluding the unidentifiable vehicles;                     

=

the specific emissions target excluding the unidentifiable vehicles.

#### *Column I:*U.K.

‘Average CO2 (100 %)’ means the average specific emissions of CO2 that have been calculated on the basis of 100 % of the vehicles attributed to the manufacturer. Where appropriate, the average                     specific emissions of CO2 have been adjusted to take into account the corrections notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned. The records                     used for the calculation include those that contain a valid value for mass and CO2 emissions but do not take into account the super-credits referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011.
