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 Article 8(6) and Article 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)Pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 the average specific emissions of manufacturers for 2014 are calculated                              in accordance with the third paragraph of that Article 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 and the specific emissions targets is set                              out in point 1 of Part A and Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and is based on Member States' registrations                              of new light commercial vehicles during the preceding calendar year.

(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.

(5)The 2014 data were submitted to the Commission by the time-limit of 28 February 2015 in accordance with Article 8(2) of Regulation                              (EU) No 510/2011 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 were not adjusted.

(6)On 13 May 2015, the Commission published the provisional data and notified 64 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 (EU) No 510/2011. 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 Article 8(5) of that Regulation. 23 manufacturers submitted notifications of errors.

(7)For the remaining 41 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.

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

(9)In the case of records without matching vehicle identification numbers and 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.

(10)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.

(11)In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, 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 (EU)                              No 510/2011, 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.

(12)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, 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.

(13)The average specific emissions of CO2 from new light commercial vehicles registered in 2014, the specific emissions targets and the difference between those two                              values should be confirmed or amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

*Member of the Commission*                            

## ANNEXU.K.

### *Table 1*

**Values relating to the performance of manufacturers confirmed in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011**

### *Table 2*

**Values relating to the performance of pools confirmed in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011**

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

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

:

‘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.                     

:

‘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 for the calendar year 2014.                  

‘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 2014 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 2014.                  

#### *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:                  

=

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.
