Article 2 
1. With effect from 1 July 1994 or, should this Directive fail to be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities by 31 December 1993 at the latest, six months after it is published, Member States shall accept compliance with the requirements of Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive, for the purposes of Articles 4 (1) and 7 (1) of Directive 70/156/EEC. 2. With effect from 1 January 1996, Member States may no longer grant: - EC type-approval pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Directive 70/156/EEC, or - national type-approval, unless the provisions of Article 8 (2) of Directive 70/156/EEC are invoked, for a type of vehicle on grounds relating to air pollution by emissions if it fails to comply with the provisions of Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive. 3. With effect from 1 January 1997, Member States shall: - consider certificates of conformity which accompany new vehicles pursuant to Directive 70/156/EEC as no longer valid for the purposes of Article 7 (1) of that Directive, and - refuse the registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles which are not accompanied by a certificate of conformity in accordance with Directive 70/156/EEC, unless the provisions of Article 8 (2) of Directive 70/156/EEC are invoked, on grounds relating to air pollution by emissions, if the vehicles fail to comply with the provisions of Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive. Article 3 Member States may make provision for tax incentives only in respect of motor vehicles which comply with Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive. Such incentives shall comply with the provisions of the Treaty and satisfy the following conditions: - they shall apply to all new vehicles offered for sale on the market of a Member State which comply in advance with the requirements of Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by this Directive, - they shall be terminated with effect from the mandatory application of the emission values laid down in Article 2 (3) for new motor vehicles, - for each type of motor vehicle, they shall be for an amount lower than the additional cost of the technical solutions introduced to ensure compliance with the values set and of their installation on the vehicle. The Commission shall be informed in sufficient time of plans to institute or change the tax incentives referred to in the first paragraph, so that it can submit its observations. Article 4 The Council, acting under the conditions laid down in the Treaty, shall decide before 30 June 1996 on proposals for a further stage of the Community's measures against air pollution caused by emissions from motor vehicles, which the Commission will submit by 31 December 1994. The measures shall apply from the year 2000 onwards. In these proposals the Commission shall take the following approach: - the measures shall be designed to produce effects to meet the requirements of the Community's air quality criteria and related objectives, - an assessment of the cost effectiveness of taking each measure shall be undertaken; in this global assessment full account shall be taken, inter alia, of the contributions that: - traffic management, for example by spreading the environmental costs appropriately, - enhanced urban public transport, - new propulsion technologies (e.g. electric transmission), - the use of alternative fuels (e.g. biofuels), could make to improving air quality, - the measures shall be proportional and reasonable in the light of the intended objectives. The proposals, taking account of the methodology outlined above and aimed at a substantial reduction of pollutant emissions as regards the vehicles covered by this Directive, shall comprise in particular the following elements: 1. Further improvements in the requirements of this Directive: based on the assessment of - the potential of the traditional engine and post-combustion technology, - possible improvements in the test procedure, e.g. cold-start, starting in low or wintry temperatures, durability (e.g. in the conformity tests), evaporative emissions, - measures at the level of type-approval supporting strengthened inspection and maintenance requirements, including, for example, on-board diagnostic systems, - the possibility of checking the conformity of vehicles in circulation, - the proportional need for: (i) specific limits for HC and NOx in addition to a cumulative limit value, and (ii) measures to cover pollutants not yet regulated. 2. Complementary technical measures in the framework of specific Directives, including: - improvements in fuel quality as far as vehicle emissions of dangerous substances (in particular benzene) are concerned, - strengthening of the requirements of the inspection and maintenance programme. The reduced limit values which will be the subject of the new Directive shall not apply before 1 January 2000 for new type-approvals. The Council shall decide on the conditions for granting tax incentives on the basis of these limit values. Article 5 Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 July 1994 or, should the Directive fail to be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities by 31 December 1993, six months after it is published. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. When Member States adopt these provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States. Article 6 This Directive is addressed to the Member States. Done at Brussels, 23 March 1994.
