Article 15U.K.Review and report

[F11.The Secretary of State must, in 2023, thoroughly review the effectiveness of this Regulation, and publish a report of that review.]

2.In the report referred to in paragraph 1, the [F2Secretary of State] shall consider, inter alia, the real-world representativeness of the CO2 emission and fuel or energy consumption values determined pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007; the deployment on the [F3United Kingdom] market of zero- and low-emission vehicles, in particular with respect to light commercial vehicles; the roll-out of recharging and refuelling infrastructure F4... M1, including their financing; the potential contribution of the use of synthetic and advanced alternative fuels produced with renewable energy to emissions reductions; the CO2 emissions reduction actually observed at the existing fleet level; the functioning of the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles; the potential effects of the transitional measure set out in point 6.3 of Part A of Annex I; the impact of this Regulation on consumers, particularly on those on low and medium incomes; as well as aspects to further facilitate an economically viable and socially fair transition towards clean, competitive and affordable mobility in the [F3United Kingdom].

The [F2Secretary of State] shall, in that report, also identify a clear pathway for further CO2 emissions reductions for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles beyond 2030 in order to significantly contribute to achieving the long-term goal of the Paris Agreement.

3.The report referred to in paragraph 2 shall, where appropriate, be accompanied by a proposal for amending this Regulation, in particular, the possible revision of the [F5United Kingdom fleet-wide] targets for 2030 in light of the elements listed in paragraph 2, and the introduction of binding emissions reduction targets for 2035 and 2040 onwards for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles to ensure the timely transformation of the transport sector towards achieving net-zero emissions in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

4.As part of the review referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the [F6Secretary of State] shall assess the feasibility of developing real-world emission test procedures using portable emission measurement systems (PEMS). The [F6Secretary of State] shall take into account that assessment as well as those made pursuant to Article 12 of this Regulation and may, where appropriate, review the procedures for measuring CO2 emissions as set out under Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. The [F6Secretary of State] shall, in particular, make appropriate proposals to adapt those procedures to reflect adequately the real-world CO2 emissions of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

5.As part of the review referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the [F7Secretary of State] shall evaluate the possibility to assign the revenue from the excess emissions premiums to a specific fund or a relevant programme, with the objective to ensure a just transition towards a climate-neutral economy as referred to in Article 4.1 of the Paris Agreement, in particular to support re-skilling, up-skilling and other skills training and reallocation of workers in the automotive sector F8..., in particular in the regions and the communities most affected by the transition.

7.The [F11Regulations may set out] the correlation parameters necessary in order to reflect any change in the regulatory test procedure for the measurement of specific emissions of CO2 referred to in Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 692/2008 and, where applicable, Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. F12...

8.[F13Regulations may] amend this Regulation by adapting the formulae set out in Annex I, using the methodology adopted pursuant to paragraph 7 of this Article, while ensuring that reduction requirements of comparable stringency for manufacturers and vehicles of different utility are required under the old and new test procedures.
