THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type-approval                           of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair                           and maintenance information and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC,                           2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC(1), and in particular Article 5(4) and Article 12(3) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011(2) establishes the obligation of the Commission to conduct a review on the technical feasibility of monitoring, for compression                              ignition vehicles, the performance of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) against the threshold limits of the on-board diagnostic                              system (OTLs) set out in Table 1 of Annex X to that Regulation.

(2)The Commission has conducted that review and concluded that the technology capable of monitoring the DPF performance against                              OTLs is available. However, it also results from that review that it is appropriate to defer the date of implementation of                              those DPF performance requirements in order to provide an adequate lead time to industry for ensuring the availability of                              the equipment in terms of mass production and its adaptation to the vehicles. It is therefore necessary to adapt Table 1 of                              Appendix 9 to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011, in order to include the new date of implementation.

(3)In addition, and in the case of positive ignition engines, Table 1 of Appendix 9 to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011                              should also be adapted by inserting a column referring to the requirement of monitoring the levels of carbon monoxide against                              the OTLs set out in Table 2 of Annex X to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011, as well as a column referring to the in-use performance                              requirements set out in points 6. to 6.5.5.1 of Annex X to that Regulation.

(4)Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
