(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles

OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 1.

, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(9) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Given that the notification of errors in the CO2 emissions data by a manufacturer pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 8(5) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 is an important step in the verification of the data that forms the basis for the calculation of the specific emissions targets as well as the specific average emissions for all manufacturers, it is appropriate to provide a clear and transparent procedure for that notification.

(2)

It is also appropriate to provide for the use of a common format for the notification of errors in order to ensure that the information notified by manufacturers to the Commission can be verified and processed in a timely manner.

(3)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1014/2010

OJ L 293, 11.11.2010, p. 15.

, the following paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 are added:

3.

Manufacturers that notify errors in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 8(5) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 shall use the provisional datasets notified by the Commission pursuant to Article 8(4) as a basis for their notification.

The error notification shall include all datasets relating to vehicle registrations for which the notifying manufacturer is responsible.

The error shall be indicated by a separate entry in the dataset for each version, entitled “Manufacturer comments”, in which one of the following codes shall be specified:

(a)

Code A, if the records have been changed by the manufacturer;

(b)

Code B, if the vehicle is unidentifiable;

(c)

Code C, if the vehicle falls out of the scope of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 or is out of production.

For the purposes of point (b) of the third subparagraph, a vehicle is unidentifiable where the manufacturer cannot identify or correct the code for the type, variant and version, or, if applicable, the type approval number indicated in the provisional dataset.

4.

Where a manufacturer has not notified errors to the Commission in accordance with paragraph 3, or where the notification is submitted after the expiry of the three-month period provided for in Article 8(5) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, the provisional values notified in accordance with Article 8(4) of that Regulation shall be considered as final.
