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, 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:
