(b)

(4) In Article 5 (zero- and low-emission heavy-duty vehicles), in paragraph 2, for “2019” substitute “2020”.

(5) In Article 7 (emission credits and emission debts), in paragraph 1, in the second subparagraph, for “2019”, in both places it occurs, substitute “2020”.

(6) In Article 9 (verification of the monitoring data), for paragraph 2 substitute—

“2. The Secretary of State must take into account the deviations referred to in paragraph 1 and any other deviations from information provided by the manufacturer for the purpose of calculating the average specific CO₂ emissions of a manufacturer and the reference CO₂ emissions, but is not required to take into account such deviations if a recalculation of a manufacturer’s average specific CO₂ emissions or the reference CO₂ emissions results in a deviation of less than 0.1% from the original calculation. The Secretary of State must, where appropriate, amend the list referred to in Article 11(1).”.

(7) In Annex I (average specific CO₂ emissions, specific CO₂ emissions targets and excess CO₂ emissions)—

(a) in point 2.3.1 (the zero and low-emission factor referred to in Article 5), for “2019”, in both places it occurs, substitute “2020”;

(b) in point 5 (emission credits and emission debts referred to in Article 7)—

(i) in point 5.1, for “2019”, in both places it occurs, substitute “2020”;

(iii) in point 5.4—

(aa) for

in both places it occurs, substitute

(bb) in the words immediately after the second mention of that formula, for “2019” substitute “2020”;

(c) in point 6 (a manufacturer’s excess CO₂ emissions referred to in Article 8(2))—
