This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

2.—(1) Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011, is amended as follows.

(2) In Part A (specific emissions targets for passenger cars) of Annex 1—

(a)at the beginning of point 3, insert “Subject to points 3a to 3c,”;

(b)after point 3, insert—

3a.  For a manufacturer for which WLTPCO2 or NEDCCO2 is zero, the specific emission reference target in 2021 shall be NEDC2020target as defined in point 3.

3b.  For a manufacturer that is placing passenger cars on the United Kingdom market for the first time in any of the calendar years 2021 to 2024, the specific emission reference target in 2021 shall be the average of the specific emissions reference targets determined for all manufacturers in accordance with point 3, weighted according to the number of new passenger cars that were registered for those manufacturers in the United Kingdom in 2020.

3c.  Notwithstanding point 3b, where in any of the calendar years 2021 to 2024, a manufacturer is placing passenger cars on the market of the United Kingdom for the first time, but that manufacturer was formed by a merger of two or more manufacturers of which at least one was responsible for new passenger cars registered in the United Kingdom in 2020, the specific emission reference target in 2021 for the new manufacturer shall be one of the following:

(a)where two or more of the merging manufacturers were responsible for new passenger cars registered in the United Kingdom in 2020, the specific emission reference target in 2021 shall be the average of the specific emission reference targets determined for those manufacturers in accordance with point 3, weighted according to the number of new passenger cars that were registered for those manufacturers in the United Kingdom in 2020;

(b)where only one of the merging manufacturers was responsible for new passenger cars registered in the United Kingdom in 2020, the specific emission reference target in 2021 determined in accordance with point 3 for that manufacturer.;
