The Commission presented a report on the
exercise of the delegation conferred on the Commission pursuant to
Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 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.
Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 empowers the
Commission to adopt delegated acts, with a view to:
- amending Annex II and adopt detailed rules for
monitoring and reporting of data on average emissions;
- supplementing the Regulation, inter alia, on
the interpretation of the eligibility criteria for derogations, on
the content of applications, and on the content and assessment of
programmes for the reduction of specific CO2 emissions;
- amending Annex I by 31 October 2016 (and every three
years thereafter) to adjust the figure M0 to the average mass of
light commercial vehicles in the previous three years;
- amending Annex I, to adapt the formulae to determine
the indicative specific CO2 emissions of light commercial
vehicles.
Under this Regulation, the Commission has the
power to adopt delegated acts for a period of five years,
running from 3 June 2011. The delegation of power is tacitly
extended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European
Parliament or the Council revoke it.
So far, the Commission has adopted delegated
acts to define and amend rules for monitoring and reporting of
data on average emissions, in particular laying down details on
the information to be provided by manufacturers that wish to apply
for emission derogation and adjusting the target calculation
formulae and mass values in Annex I and II to the
Regulation.
Since the entry into force of Regulation (EU)
No 510/2011, the Commission has adopted two delegated acts
accordingly:
- Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) No 205/2012 which amends Annex II to the Vans
Emissions Regulation as regards the information to be provided by
Member States;
- Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) No 404/2014 which supplements Regulation (EU)
No 510/2011 as regards the information to be provided by Member
States. Its main objective is to adapt the rules on reporting
requirements to the new method for determining CO2 emissions for
multi-stage vehicles;
- Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) No 114/2013 supplementing Regulation (EU) No
510/2011 with regard to rules for the application for a derogation
from the specific CO2 emissions targets for new light commercial
vehicles;
- two Delegated acts (Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) No 1047/2013 and Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) No 482/2014 for the purpose of correcting the
baseline average CO2 specific emissions for two small volume
manufacturers:
- Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) No 2017/748 in order to take into account the
evolution of the mass of new light commercial vehicles registered
in the EU;
- Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2017/1499 amending Annexes I and II to
Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 for the purpose of adapting them to the
change in the regulatory test procedure for the measurement of CO2
from light commercial vehicles.
No objections have been
raised as a
result of the scrutiny of those acts by the European Parliament and
the Council.
