From 2020, this Regulation sets a target of 147 g CO2/km for the average emissions of new light commercial vehicles registered in the Union, as measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and its implementing measures, and innovative technologies.’;\n(2) in Article 2, the following paragraph is added:\n‘4. Article 4, Article 8(4)(b) and (c), Article 9 and Article 10(1)(a) and (c) shall not apply to a manufacturer which, together with all of its connected undertakings, is responsible for fewer than 1 000 new light commercial vehicles registered in the Union in the previous calendar year.’;\n(3) in Article 11(3), the last sentence is deleted;\n(4) Article 12 is amended as follows:\n(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:\n‘1. Upon application by a supplier or a manufacturer, CO2 savings achieved through the use of innovative technologies or a combination of innovative technologies (“innovative technology packages”) shall be considered.\nThe total contribution of those technologies to reducing the specific emissions target of a manufacturer may be up to 7 g CO2/km.’;\n(b) in paragraph 2, the introductory part is replaced by the following:\n‘2. The Commission shall adopt by means of implementing acts detailed provisions for a procedure to approve the innovative technologies or innovative technology packages referred to in paragraph 1, by 31 December 2012. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 14(2) of this Regulation. Those detailed provisions shall be in accordance with the provisions established under Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, and be based on the following criteria for innovative technologies:’;\n(5) Article 13 is amended as follows:\n(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:\n‘1. By 31 December 2015, the Commission shall review the specific emissions targets and the modalities set out herein, as well as the other aspects of this Regulation in order to establish the CO2 emissions targets for new light commercial vehicles for the period beyond 2020. In that regard, the assessment of the necessary rate of reduction shall be in line with the Union’s long-term climate goals and the implications for the development of cost effective CO2-reducing technology for light commercial vehicles. The Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council with the result of that review. That report shall include any appropriate proposals for amending this Regulation, including the possible setting of a realistic and achievable target, based on a comprehensive impact assessment that will consider the continued competitiveness of the light commercial vehicle industry and its dependent industries. When developing such proposals, the Commission shall ensure they are as neutral as possible from the point of view of competition and are socially equitable and sustainable.’;\n(b) paragraph 6 is amended as follows:\n(i) the second subparagraph is deleted;\n(ii) the fourth subparagraph is replaced by the following two subparagraphs:\n‘The Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, determine the correlation parameters necessary in order to reflect any change in the regulatory test procedure for the measurement of specific CO2 emissions referred to in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 14(2) of this Regulation.\nThe Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 15 and subject to the conditions laid down in Articles 16 and 17 in order to adapt the formulae set out in Annex I, using the methodology adopted pursuant to the first subparagraph, while ensuring that reduction requirements of comparable stringency for manufacturers and vehicles of different utility are required under the old and new test procedures.’;\n(6) in Article 14, the following paragraph is added:\n‘2a. Where the Committee referred to in paragraph 1 delivers no opinion, the Commission shall not adopt the draft implementing act and the third subparagraph of Article 5(4) of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 shall apply.’;\n(7) in point 1 of Annex I, the following point is added:\n(c) ‘from 2020:\nIndicative specific emissions of CO 2 = 147 + a × M − M 0 where:\nM mass of the vehicle in kilograms (kg)\nM0 the value adopted pursuant to Article 13(5)\na 0,096.’.",
