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(5) and Article 10(1) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)The Commission is required, pursuant to Article 8(5) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, to confirm each year the average specific                              emissions of CO2 and the specific emissions target for each manufacturer of passenger cars in the Union as well as for each pool of manufacturers                              formed in accordance with Article 7(1) of that Regulation. On the basis of that confirmation, the Commission is to determine                              whether manufacturers and pools have complied with the requirements of Article 4 of that Regulation.

(2)Pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 the average specific emissions of manufacturers for 2014 are calculated                              in accordance with the second paragraph of that Article and take into account 80 % of the manufacturer's new cars registered                              in that year.

(3)The detailed data to be used for the calculation of the average specific emissions and the specific emissions targets is set                              out in point 1 of Part A and in Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and is based on Member States' registrations                              of new passenger cars during the preceding calendar year.

(4)The 2014 data were submitted to the Commission by the time limit of 28 February 2015 in accordance with Article 8(2) of Regulation                              (EC) No 443/2009 by a majority of the Member States. 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 was not adjusted.

(5)On 15 April 2015, the Commission published the provisional data and notified 93 manufacturers of the provisional calculations                              of their average specific emissions of CO2 in 2014 and their specific emissions targets in accordance with Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. Manufacturers                              were asked to verify the data and to notify the Commission of any errors within 3 months of receipt of the notification in                              accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 8(5) of that Regulation and Article 9(3) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1014/2010(2). Two manufacturers accepted the preliminary data without corrections whilst 40 manufacturers submitted notifications of errors                              within the given time limit.

(6)For the remaining 51 manufacturers that did not notify any errors in the datasets or respond otherwise, the provisional data                              and provisional calculations of the average specific emissions and the specific emissions targets should be confirmed without                              adjustments. For one manufacturer all vehicles reported in the provisional dataset were outside the scope of Regulation (EC)                              No 443/2009.

(7)The Commission has verified the corrections notified by the manufacturers and the respective justifications, and the dataset                              has been adjusted as appropriate.

(8)In the case of records with missing or incorrect identification parameters, such as the type, variant, version code or the                              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 of those records.

(9)The error margin should be calculated as the difference between the distances to the specific emissions target expressed as                              the average emission target subtracted from the specific 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.

(10)In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, a manufacturer should be considered as compliant with its                              specific emission target referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation where the average emissions indicated in this Decision                              are lower than the specific emissions target, expressed as a negative distance to target. Where the average emissions exceed                              the specific emissions target, an excess emission premium are to be imposed in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC)                              No 443/2009, unless the manufacturer concerned benefits from an exemption from that target in accordance with Article 2(4)                              or Article 11 of that Regulation or is a member of a pool in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation and the pool complies                              with its specific emissions target. On that basis, one manufacturer should be considered exceeding its specific emission target                              for 2014.

(11)Following a statement by the Volkswagen Group on 3 November 2015 that irregularities were found when determining type approval                              CO2 levels of some of their vehicles, the average specific emissions of CO2 and the specific emissions targets should not be confirmed for the Volkswagen pool and its members until further clarification                              is provided by the Volkswagen Group. As a consequence the Volkswagen pool and its members (Audi AG, Audi Hungaria Motor Kft.,                              Bentley Motors Ltd, Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S., Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., Dr Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Quattro GmbH, Seat                              S.A., Skoda Auto A.S., and Volkswagen AG) should not be subject to this Decision.

(12)The average specific emissions of CO2 from new passenger cars registered in 2014, the specific emissions targets and the difference between those two values should                              be confirmed accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

# Article 1U.K.

The values relating to the performance of manufacturers, as confirmed or amended for each manufacturer of passenger cars and                     for each pool of such manufacturers in respect of the 2014 calendar year in accordance with Article 8(5) of Regulation (EC)                     No 443/2009, are specified in the Annex to this Decision.

‘Average CO2 (80 %) corrected’ means the average specific emissions of CO2 that have been calculated on the basis of the 80 % lowest emitting vehicles in the manufacturer's fleet in accordance with                     the third indent of the second subparagraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and point 4 of Commission Communication                     COM(2010) 657 final. Where appropriate, the average specific emissions have been adjusted to take into account the corrections                     notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned. The records used for the calculation includes 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 (EC) No 443/2009.                  

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

‘Distance to target’ means the difference between the average specific emissions specified in column D and the specific emissions                     target in column E. Where the value in column F is positive the average specific emissions 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 only applies if the manufacturer                     has notified the Commission of records with the error code B as set out in Article 9(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1014/2010. The                     error margin is calculated in accordance with the following formula:                  

=

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 have been adjusted to take into account the corrections notified to the Commission by the manufacturer                     concerned. The records used for the calculation includes 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 (EC) No 443/2009.
