Manufacturers were asked to verify the provisional data in accordance with Article 7(5) of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 and to notify the Commission of any errors within three months of receipt of the notification.
63 manufacturers of passenger cars and 42 manufacturers of light commercial vehicles submitted a notification of errors.
(6)
The provisional data included correction factors, both for passenger cars, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 (2), and for light commercial vehicles, calculated in accordance with Article 6(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 (3).
Considering that the final correction factors were equal to one for all manufacturers and their pools, there was no need to correct the calculation of the average specific emissions.
(7)
For 2 manufacturers of passenger cars and 1 manufacturer of light commercial vehicles, all vehicles reported in the provisional dataset were outside the scope of Regulation (EU) 2019/631.
For 1 manufacturer of passenger cars, none of the vehicles in the provisional dataset had NEDC specific emissions of CO2 values reported and, therefore, this manufacturer is not included in this Decision.
(8)
For the remaining 30 manufacturers of passenger cars and 26 manufacturers of light commercial vehicles 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.
(9)
The Commission has verified the errors notified by the manufacturers and the reasons for their correction, and the provisional dataset has been confirmed or amended as appropriate.
As a result, for 93 manufacturers of passenger cars and 68 manufacturers of light commercial vehicles the provisional data should be confirmed or amended.
(10)
In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631, a manufacturer should be considered as compliant with its specific emissions target where its average specific emissions of CO2 specified in this Decision do not exceed its specific emissions target.
For manufacturers that are members of a pool, compliance should be assessed at the level of the pool in accordance with Article 6 of that Regulation.
For manufacturers or pools that were granted a derogation from their specific emissions targets for calendar year 2020 in accordance with Article 10 of that Regulation, the average specific emissions of CO2 are assessed for compliance against their granted derogations targets.
(11)
In accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/631, for each manufacturer or pool, only 95% of its new passenger cars registered during calendar year 2020, selected on the basis of their emission levels, are taken into account for the purposes of determining the average specific emissions of CO2 for that manufacturer or pool.
(12)
In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631, in calculating the average specific emissions of CO2 of manufacturers of passenger cars, each new passenger car with specific emissions of CO2 of less than 50 g CO2/km (NEDC) is counted as 2 passenger cars in calendar year 2020, up to a ‘super-credits’ contribution of 7,5 g CO2/km for each manufacturer or pool.
(13)
The CO2 savings achieved through the use of innovative technologies that make a verified contribution to CO2 reductions and that have been approved by the Commission in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 (‘eco-innovations’) are taken into account for the calculation of the average specific emissions of CO2, up to a total contribution of 7 g CO2/km for each manufacturer or pool.
In calendar year 2020, only eco-innovation CO2 savings determined by reference to the NEDC are taken into account.

(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1152 of 2 June 2017 setting out a methodology for determining the correlation parameters necessary for reflecting the change in regulatory test procedure with regard to light commercial vehicles and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 293/2012 (OJ L 175, 7.7.2017, p. 644).
