Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations transpose Commission Directive 2003/73/EC (which amends Annex III to Directive 1999/94/EC) by amending the Passenger Car (Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001. Regulations 4 and 5 introduce a new Schedule 3 which allows for the information required in car showrooms under the 2001 regulations to be displayed on an electronic screen. Regulation 3 substitutes a reference to a revoked Directive with a reference to the replacement Directive.
Regulations 4 and 5 transpose Article 1 of the Commission Directive. Article 1 is the only substantive provision requiring transposition.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
