Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1079

of 20 July 2020

on the verification and correction of data referred to in Regulation (EU) 2018/956 on the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from and fuel consumption of new heavy-duty vehicles

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/956 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 June 2018 on the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from and fuel consumption of new heavy-duty vehicles(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 8(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/956 obliges the Commission to verify the quality of the data reported by Member States and by manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 of that Regulation. It also obliges the Commission to correct discrepancies found during such verification.

(2) It is therefore appropriate to determine the verification and correction measures of the data reported by heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers. In particular, it is necessary to lay down a procedure for verifying that the data reported by manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles in accordance with point 2 of Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2018/956 correspond to the relevant data source, that is the engine type-approval certificate issued in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) and the manufacturer’s records file.

(3) The number of heavy-duty vehicles of which the quality of the data is to be verified should be sufficiently high for the Commission to detect possible discrepancies in the reported data and to establish whether the nature of such discrepancies is systematic.

(4) In order to ensure the integrity of the reporting process, the verification should consist of checks of the data reported by manufacturers against the engine type-approval certificate and the manufacturer’s records file.

(5) Manufacturers should be given the opportunity to correct the data in the case the Commission finds discrepancies. Where those discrepancies are of a systematic nature, manufacturers should provide corrected data for all the vehicles registered in the reporting period concerned.

(6) In order to ensure the correctness of the data, where the manufacturers have not provided the Commission with corrected data, the Commission should be able to correct those data itself. In order to ensure that the manufacturers provide the Commission with correct data, where the discrepancies found are of a systematic nature, the Commission should correct those data by applying a correction factor to CO2 emissions of all heavy-duty vehicles registered in the reporting period concerned.

(7) For transparency purposes, it should be clear from the data included in the Central Register for data on heavy-duty vehicles whether they have been corrected by the Commission.

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