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:
Article 1
The values relating to the performance of manufacturers, as confirmed or amended for each manufacturer of light commercial vehicles and for each pool of manufacturers of light commercial vehicles in respect of the 2013 calendar year in accordance with Article 8(6) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, are specified in the Annex to this Decision.
The values referred to in points (a) to (e) of Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 for each manufacturer of light commercial vehicles and for each pool of manufacturers of light commercial vehicles in respect of the 2013 calendar year are also specified in the Annex to this Decision, with the exception provided for in Article 2(4) of that Regulation for the manufacturers concerned.
