REGULATION (EC) No 715/2007
            OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
           ON TYPE APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES WITH RESPECT
      TO EMISSIONS FROM LIGHT PASSENGER AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
         (EURO 5 AND EURO 6) AND ON ACCESS TO VEHICLE REPAIR
                     AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
                      (TEXT WITH EEA RELEVANCE)

                       (Strasbourg, 20.VI.2007)

     The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union,
     Having  regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
and in particular Article 95 thereof,
     Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
     Having  regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social
Committee <*>,
--------------------------------
     <*> OJ C 318, 23.12.2006, p. 62.

     Acting  in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251
of the Treaty <*>,
--------------------------------
     <*>  Opinion  of the European Parliament of 13 December 2006 (not
yet  published in the Official Journal) and Council Decision of 30 May
2007.

     Whereas:
     (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 Community type
approval  system  for motor vehicles, established by Council Directive
70/156/EEC  of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the
Member  States  relating  to  the  type approval of motor vehicles and
their  trailers  <*>,  is in place. The technical requirements for the
type  approval  of  motor  vehicles  with  regard  to emissions should
therefore  be  harmonised  to  avoid requirements that differ from one
Member  State  to another, and to ensure a high level of environmental
protection.
--------------------------------
     <*>  OJ  L  42,  23.2.1970,  p.  1.  Directive as last amended by
Directive 2006/96/EC (OJ L 363, 20.12.2006, p. 81).

     (2)  This  Regulation  is  one of a number of separate regulatory
acts  in  the  context  of the Community type approval procedure under
Directive  70/156/EEC.  Therefore,  that  Directive  should be amended
accordingly.
     (3)  At  the  request of the European Parliament a new regulatory
approach  has  been  introduced  in EU vehicle legislation. Thus, this
Regulation  lays  down  fundamental  provisions  on vehicle emissions,
whereas the technical specifications will be laid down by implementing
measures adopted following comitology procedures.
     (4)  In  March  2001  the  Commission  launched the Clean Air For
Europe (CAFE) programme, the major elements of which are outlined in a
communication  of  4  May  2005.  This  has  led  to the adoption of a
thematic  strategy on air pollution by a communication of 21 September
2005.  One of the conclusions of the thematic strategy is that further
reductions  in  emissions from the transport sector (air, maritime and
land transport), from households and from the energy, agricultural and
industrial sectors are needed to achieve EU air quality objectives. In
this  context,  the  task  of  reducing  vehicle  emissions  should be
approached  as part of an overall strategy. The Euro 5 and 6 standards
are  one  of  the measures designed to reduce emissions of particulate
matter and ozone precursors such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.
     (5)  Achieving  EU  air  quality objectives requires a continuing
effort  to  reduce vehicle emissions. For that reason, industry should
be  provided  with  clear information on future emission limit values.
This  is why this Regulation includes, in addition to Euro 5, the Euro
6 stage of emission limit values.
     (6)  In  particular,  a  considerable reduction in nitrogen oxide
emissions from diesel vehicles is necessary to improve air quality and
comply  with  limit  values  for  pollution.  This  requires  reaching
ambitious  limit  values  at the Euro 6 stage without being obliged to
forego  the  advantages of diesel engines in terms of fuel consumption
and hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. Setting such a step for
reducing  nitrogen  oxide  emissions  at  an  early stage will provide
long-term, Europe-wide planning security for vehicle manufacturers.
     (7)  In  setting emissions standards it is important to take into
account    the    implications    for   markets   and   manufacturers`
competitiveness, the direct and indirect costs imposed on business and
the benefits that accrue in terms of stimulating innovation, improving
air  quality, reducing health costs and increasing life expectancy, as
well  as  the  implications  for  the overall impact on carbon dioxide
emissions.
     (8)  Unrestricted  access  to  vehicle  repair information, via a
standardised  format  which  can  be  used  to  retrieve the technical
information,  and  effective  competition  on  the  market for vehicle
repair  and  maintenance information services are necessary to improve
the  functioning  of  the internal market, particularly as regards the
free  movement  of  goods,  freedom  of  establishment  and freedom to
provide services. A great proportion of such information is related to
on-board  diagnostic  (OBD)  systems  and their interaction with other
vehicle   systems.   It   is   appropriate   to   lay  down  technical
specifications  that manufacturers` websites should follow, along with
targeted   measures   to   ensure  reasonable  access  for  small  and
medium-sized  enterprises  (SMEs).  Common  standards  agreed with the
involvement  of  stakeholders,  such  as  the  OASIS  <*>  format, can
facilitate  the  exchange  of  information  between  manufacturers and
service  providers.  It  is therefore appropriate to initially require
the use of the technical specifications of the OASIS format and to ask
the  Commission to request CEN/ISO to further develop this format into
a standard with a view to replacing the OASIS format in due course.
--------------------------------
     <*>  Organisation  for  the Advancement of Structured Information
Standards.

     (9)  Not later than four years after the date of entry into force
of  this Regulation, the Commission should review the operation of the
system  of  access  to  all vehicle repair and maintenance information
with  a  view  to  determining  whether  it  would  be  appropriate to
consolidate  all  provisions  governing  access  to vehicle repair and
maintenance  information  within a revised framework Directive on type
approval.   If   the   provisions  governing  access  to  all  vehicle
information  are  incorporated  into that Directive, the corresponding
provisions  in  this  Regulation  should  be  repealed, as long as the
existing  rights  for access to repair and maintenance information are
preserved.
     (10)  The Commission should keep under review emissions which are
as  yet  unregulated and which arise as a consequence of the wider use
of  new  fuel  formulations,  engine technologies and emission control
systems  and,  where  necessary,  submit  a  proposal  to the European
Parliament  and  to  the  Council  with  a  view  to  regulating  such
emissions.
     (11)  In order to facilitate the introduction and to maintain the
existence  of  alternative  fuel vehicles, which can have low nitrogen
oxide  and  particulate  emissions,  and at the same time to encourage
reduced   emissions  from  petrol-powered  vehicles,  this  Regulation
introduces  separate  limit  values  for  total hydrocarbons and total
non-methane hydrocarbons.
     (12)  Efforts  should be continued to implement stricter emission
limits, including reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, and to ensure
that those limits relate to the actual performance of vehicles when in
use.
     (13)  In order to ensure that emissions of ultra fine particulate
matter  (PM  0,1 mu m and below) are controlled, the Commission should
adopt as soon as possible, and introduce at the latest upon entry into
force  of the Euro 6 stage, a number based approach to emissions of PM
in  addition  to  the mass based approach which is currently used. The
number based approach to emissions of PM should draw on the results of
the UN/ECE`s Particulate Measurement Programme (PMP) and be consistent
with the existing ambitious objectives for the environment.
     (14)  To  provide greater repeatability in measuring the mass and
number  of  particulate  emissions  in  the laboratory, the Commission
should  adopt  a  new measurement procedure replacing the current one.
This  should  be introduced as soon as possible and at the latest upon
entry  into  force  of  the  Euro  6  stage. It should be based on the
results of the PMP. When the new measurement procedure is implemented,
the  PM  mass  emission  limits  set  out in this Regulation should be
recalibrated,  as the new procedure records a lower level of mass than
the current one.
     (15)  The  Commission should keep under review the need to revise
the  New  European Drive Cycle as the test procedure that provides the
basis   of   EC  type  approval  emissions  regulations.  Updating  or
replacement  of  the test cycles may be required to reflect changes in
vehicle specification and driver behaviour. Revisions may be necessary
to  ensure  that  real world emissions correspond to those measured at
type  approval.  The  use of portable emission measurement systems and
the introduction of the "not-to-exceed" regulatory concept should also
be considered.
     (16) OBD systems are important in the control of emissions during
the  use of a vehicle. Due to the importance of controlling real world
emissions,  the  Commission  should keep under review the requirements
for such systems and the tolerance thresholds for monitoring faults.
     (17)  A  standardised  method  of  measuring fuel consumption and
carbon  dioxide  emissions  of vehicles is necessary to ensure that no
technical  barriers to trade arise between Member States. Furthermore,
it  is  also necessary to ensure that customers and users are supplied
with objective and precise information.
     (18)  Before drawing up a proposal for future emission standards,
the Commission should set up studies designed to determine whether the
continued  subdivision  of  vehicle  categories  into  groups is still
necessary and whether mass neutral emission limits can be applied.
     (19)  Member  States  should  be  able,  by  means  of  financial
incentives,  to accelerate the placing on the market of vehicles which
satisfy  the  requirements  adopted  at Community level. However, such
incentives  should  comply  with  the  provisions  of  the  Treaty, in
particular  the  rules  on  state  aid.  This  is  in  order  to avoid
distortions  of the internal market. This Regulation should not affect
the  Member  States`  right  to  include  emissions  in  the basis for
calculating taxes levied on vehicles.
     (20)  Given  that  the  legislation on vehicle emissions and fuel
consumption  has  developed  over more than 35 years and is now spread
over  more  than  24  Directives,  it  is  advisable  to replace those
Directives  by a new regulation and a number of implementing measures.
A  regulation  will  ensure that the detailed technical provisions are
directly   applicable   to  manufacturers,  approval  authorities  and
technical  services  and that they can be updated in a much faster and
more   efficient  way.  Directives  70/220/EEC  <1>,  72/306/EEC  <2>,
74/290/EEC  <3>,  80/1268/EEC  <4>,  83/351/EEC  <5>,  88/76/EEC  <6>,
88/436/EEC  <7>,  89/458/EEC  <8>,  91/441/EEC  <9>,  93/59/EEC  <10>,
94/12/EC   <11>,   96/69/EC   <12>,  98/69/EC  <13>,  2001/1/EC  <14>,
2001/100/EC  <15>  and 2004/3/EC <16> should therefore be repealed. In
addition,  the  Member  States  should  also  repeal  the  transposing
legislation of the repealed Directives.

     (21)  In  order  to  clarify  the scope of legislation on vehicle
emissions,  Directive 2005/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council  of  28 September 2005 on the approximation of the laws of the
Member  States  relating  to  the  measures  to  be  taken against the
emission     of     gaseous    and    paniculate    pollutants    from
compression-ignition  engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of
gaseous pollutants from positive-ignition engines fuelled with natural
gas  or  liquefied  petroleum  gas  for  use in vehicles <*> should be
amended  in  such  a  way as to cover all heavy-duty vehicles so as to
make clear that this Regulation concerns light-duty vehicles.
--------------------------------
     <*>  OJ  L  275,  20.10.2005,  p. 1. Directive as last amended by
Commission Directive 2006/51/EC (OJ L 152, 07.06.2006, p. 11).

     (22)  To  ensure a smooth transition from the existing Directives
to  this  Regulation,  the  applicability of this Regulation should be
deferred  by  a  certain  period  after its entry into force. However,
during  that  period  manufacturers  should  be able to choose to have
vehicles  approved  under  either  the  existing  Directives  or  this
Regulation. Moreover, the provisions on financial incentives should be
applicable  immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation.
The  validity  of type approvals granted under the existing Directives
is not to be affected by the entry into force of this Regulation.
     (23)  To  ensure a smooth transition from the existing Directives
to this Regulation, certain exceptions for vehicles designed to fulfil
specific  social  needs  should be foreseen in the Euro 5 stage. These
exceptions should cease with the entry into force of the Euro 6 stage.
     (24)  The  measures  necessary  for  the  implementation  of this
Regulation  should  be  adopted  in  accordance  with Council Decision
1999/468/EC  of  28  June  1999  laying  down  the  procedures for the
exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission <*>.
--------------------------------
     <*>  OJ L 184, 17.07.1999, p. 23. Decision as amended by Decision
2006/512/EC (OJ L 200, 22.07.2006, p. 11).

     (25)  In  particular, power should be conferred on the Commission
to introduce particle number based limit values in Annex I, as well as
to  recalibrate the paniculate mass based limit values set out in that
Annex.  Since  those measures are of general scope and are designed to
amend  non-essential  elements  of  this  Regulation,  they  should be
adopted  in  accordance  with  the  regulatory procedure with scrutiny
provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
     (26)  Power  should  also  be  conferred  on  the  Commission  to
establish   specific  procedures,  tests  and  requirements  for  type
approval,  as well as a revised measurement procedure for particulates
and  a  particle  number  based  limit  value,  and  to adopt measures
concerning  the  use  of  defeat devices, access to vehicle repair and
maintenance  information  and  test  cycles used to measure emissions.
Since  those  measures  are  of  general  scope  and  are  designed to
supplement  this  Regulation  by  the  addition  of  new non-essential
elements,  they  should  be  adopted in accordance with the regulatory
procedure  with  scrutiny  provided  for  in  Article  5a  of Decision
1999/468/EC.
     (27)   Since  the  objectives  of  this  Regulation,  namely  the
realisation  of the internal market through the introduction of common
technical  requirements  concerning  emissions from motor vehicles and
guaranteed  access  to  vehicle repair and maintenance information for
independent  operators on the same basis as for authorised dealers and
repairers,  cannot  be  sufficiently achieved by the Member States and
can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may
adopt  measures,  in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as
set  out  in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle
of  proportionality,  as set out in that Article, this Regulation does
not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
     Have adopted this Regulation:
