18	2009/0173(COD) Reduction of CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles: emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles 2010/05/21 ENVI 18 amendments... Amendment 30 # Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) Manufacturers should have flexibility to decide how to meet their targets under this Regulation and should be allowed to average emissions over their new vehicle fleet rather than having to respect CO2 targets for each individual vehicle. Manufacturers should therefore be required to ensure that the average specific emission for all the new light commercial vehicles registered in the Community for which they are responsible does not exceed the average of the emissions targets for those vehicles. This requirement should be phased in between 20145 and 20168 in order to facilitate its introduction. This is consistent with the lead times given and the duration of the phase-in period set in Regulation 443/2009. Amendment 64 # Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 2 2. ~~From 2020, t~~This Regulation sets a target of 135 60g CO2/km ~~for the~~, starting in 2020, as average emissions ofor the new light commercial vehicles ~~registered in the Community~~fleet, in accordance with Article 12(4).

As of 1 January 2014 the monitoring shall be extended to completed vehicles. Amendment 251 # Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Article 12 – paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. By 1 January 2018, the Commission shall complete a review of the specific emission target in Annex I and of the derogations in Article 10, with the aim of defining: - the modalities for reaching a long-term target of 145 g CO2/km, starting in 2025, in a cost-effective manner; and - the aspects of the implementation of that targets, including the excess emissions premium. On the basis of such a review and its impact assessment, which includes an overall assessment of the impact on the car industry and its dependent industries, the Commission shall, if appropriate, make a proposal to amend this Regulation in a way which is as neutral as possible from the point of view of competition, and which is socially equitable and sustainable. The European Commission shall make a proposal to the European Parliament and European Council on those measures, designed to amend essential elements of this Regulation.

22	2011/0409(COD) Sound level of motor vehicles 2012/06/13 ENVI 13 amendments... Amendment 25 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured. To that end a comprehensive Union type-approval system for motor vehicles is in place. The technical requirements for the type- approval of motor vehicles and their exhaust systems with regard to permissible sound levels should be harmonised to avoid the adoption of requirements that differ from one Member State to another and to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market while, at the same time, providing for a high level of environmental protection and public safety. The Commission should also undertake an impact assessment regarding the labelling conditions applicable to air and noise pollution levels. This impact assessment should take into consideration the different types of vehicles covered by this Regulation (including electric vehicles) as well as the effect that such labelling could have on the car industry. In fact, while such labelling could be considered a useful tool for raising awareness among consumers and protecting their rights as regards transparency prior to the purchase of a vehicle, it could seriously and adversely affect the car industry on cost grounds. The impact assessment should therefore evaluate the cost- effectiveness of this tool. Amendment 28 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) This Regulation should therefore introduce a different method in relation to the compulsory one of Directive 70/157/EEC. That method should be based on the method published by the UNECE Working Party on Noise (GRB) in 2007 which incorporated a 2007 version of the standard ISO 362. The results of monitoring of both the old and the new test methods were submitted to the Commission. Furthermore, in order to overcome the shortcomings inherent in the previous test method, the Commission should, within 24 months of the entry into force of this Regulation, submit an impact assessment to the European Parliament and to the Council on the effective contribution of tyre rolling equipment in reducing the noise level of vehicles, focussing on the road surface impact, and the research needs in this specific field, in view of adopting a new European test method which also takes into account road surface behaviour. Amendment 32 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) This Regulation should also further reduce noise limits. It should take account of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor , which introduced new stricter noise requirements for motor vehicle tyres and which underlined the need for a coherent and comprehensive approach to addressing the problem of road noise, including taking into account the contribution of "silent" road surfaces and noise reducing materials in mitigating the road traffic sound level. This horizontal approach will more efficiently reduce the overall road traffic noise compared to a sectoral and vertical approach. Studies highlighting the annoyance and health effects from road traffic noise, and the associated costs and benefits should also be heeded. Amendment 33 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Recital 8a (new) (8a) The Commission should publish "silent" road guidelines, addressed to road authorities in order to provide them with a useful tool to comply with requirements for more sustainable road infrastructure. Amendment 41 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) The environmental benefits expected from hybrid electric and pure electric road transport vehicles have resulted in a substantial reduction of the noise emitted by such vehicles. This has resulted in the removal of an important source of audible signal that is used by blind and low vision pedestrians and cyclists, amongst other road users, to become aware of the approach, presence or departure of these vehicles. For that purpose, industry is developing acoustic systems to compensate for this lack of audible signal in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The performance of approaching vehicle audible systems fitted to vehicles should be harmonised. The fitting of such systems should however, remain an option at the discretion of vehicle manufacturers. The adequate audibility of electric cars should be assured by a minimum noise level - not only with regard to public health and road safety but also with respect to particularly vulnerable groups such as pedestrians and people with disabilities. Amendment 46 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ, Martin CALLANAN Proposal for a regulation Article 2 – paragraph 1 This Regulation shall apply to vehicles of categories M1, M2, M3, N1, N2 and N3, as defined in Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC and to the systems, components and separate technical units designed and constructed for such vehicles. Vehicles produced in small series in accordance with section 1 of Part A of Annex XII to Directive 2007/46/EC must comply with all parts of this Regulation, except Article 8 and Article 9. Amendment 48 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ, Françoise GROSSETÊTE Proposal for a regulation Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 2 (2) ‘vehicle type’ means ~~a set of vehicles as defined in Annex II Part B to Directive 2007/46/EC~~: (i) for vehicles, tested in accordance with Annex II, paragraph 4.1.2.1, a set of vehicles as defined in Annex II Part B to Directive 2007/46/EC; (ii) for vehicles, tested in accordance with Annex II, paragraph 4.1.2.2, a set of vehicles which do not essentially differ in such respects as: – the shape or materials of the bodywork (particularly the engine compartment and its soundproofing); – the type of engine (e.g. positive or compression ignition, two- or four-stroke, reciprocating or rotary piston), number and capacity of cylinders, type of injection system, arrangement of valves, rated engine speed (S), or the type of electric motor; – vehicles having the same type of engine and/or different overall gear ratios, may be regarded as vehicles of the same type. However, if the above differences provide for a different test method, these differences are to be considered as a change of type. Amendment 53 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ, Martin CALLANAN Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 1 – point c (new) c) if the manufacturer is an independent small volume car manufacturer within the meaning of paragraph 1 to 3 of Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community's integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles1, and tests with an approved testing facility the static noise value of vehicles to allow for in use testing. The manufacturer shall also submit a report to the Commission setting out measures it has taken or plans to take to reduce noise emissions, in line with its reduction potential and consistent with the characteristics of the market segments concerned. _______________ 1 OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 1.

For special purpose vehicles under paragraph 5 of Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC, the applicable limit values shall be increased by +3 dB(A). For vehicles produced in small series in accordance with section 1 of Part A of Annex XII to Directive 2007/46/EC, the application dates for phase 1 and phase 2 shall be postponed by two more years. The applicable limit values are increased by +1 dB(A) for phase 1. Amendment 66 # Salvatore TATARELLA, Miroslav OUZKÝ Proposal for a regulation Article 7 – paragraph 1 ~~Within three years f~~Following the date referred to in Annex III, third column, phase 1, to this Regulation, the Commission shall c~~arry out a detailed study to ascer~~omplete a review of the noise limits in Annex III.
