(b) the list of CO2 reducing technologies used in its passenger cars under the reduction programme and the additional costs of these technologies for each vehicle version covered by the application.

4. The applicant shall in accordance with its reduction potential propose a specific emissions target for the period of the derogation. The applicant may also propose yearly specific emissions targets.

The specific emissions target or yearly specific emissions targets shall be determined so that the average specific emissions at the expiry of the derogation period are reduced in comparison to the average specific emissions of CO2 referred to in paragraph 1.

5. The specific emissions target or yearly specific emissions targets proposed by the applicant in accordance with point (d) of Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 shall be accompanied by a programme of reduction for the new fleet’s specific CO2 emissions.

The reduction programme shall specify the following:

Article 6

Reduction target for a derogation pursuant to Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009

1. The applicant shall provide the average specific CO2 emissions of its passenger cars registered in 2007, unless the average specific CO2 emissions for that year are listed in Annex IV to this Regulation.

3. Where information on a manufacturer’s average specific CO2 emissions in 2007 does not exist, the applicant shall provide information on the vehicle characteristics for all types of cars manufactured by him as well as the number of cars manufactured by the applicant that the applicant expects to be registered in the Union in the first year of the derogation. The applicant shall indicate for all variants of cars to which of the vehicle classes specified in the table in Annex V the variant belongs.

4. The specific emissions target shall be calculated annually based on the 25 % reduction from the baseline for each vehicle class set out in Annex V.

Article 7

Assessment by the Commission

1. Where the Commission has raised no objections within nine months of official receipt of a complete application pursuant to Article 11(1) or Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 the relevant conditions for applying the derogation shall be deemed to be satisfied. If the Commission finds that the application is incomplete, additional information may be requested. Where the additional information is not submitted within the time period specified in the request, the Commission may reject the application.

In the case of a rejection due to the incompleteness of the application or due to the Commission finding the proposed specific emissions target inconsistent with the applicant’s reduction potential, the applicant may submit a completed or revised application for a derogation.

2. Applications shall be sent in printed and electronic versions and be addressed to the Secretariat General of the European Commission, 1049 Brussels, Belgium, marked ‘Derogation under Regulation (EC) No 443/2009’. The electronic version shall be also sent to the functional mailbox specified in Annex I.

3. Where information contained in the application is found to be incorrect or inaccurate, the decision to grant a derogation shall be revoked.
