Danish comments regarding Proposal to amend the light 
   
vehicle emission type approval regulation (715/2007)  
 
First of all, Denmark wishes to thank the Commission and the Presidency for prioritizing this proposal. 
It is very important to have a sufficient type approval scheme ensuring emissions from light duty 
vehicles are reflecting normal condition of use. 
 
Denmark has both at the meeting the 16th of July and the 10th of September commented the conformity 
factor and bringing this act up-to date with regards to the Lisbon Treaty. Also, we have expressed our 
support for the NL written comments (WK 9246/2019). 
 
Conformity factors  
DK would like to reiterate the importance and the necessity of keeping the factor updated based on 
technical progress according to art 14.3.b. The Conformity Factor shall be revised annually and the 
latest revision was in May 2018.  
 
Therefore, DK sees the necessity in considering strengthening the conformity factors with this 
proposal. 
 
DK is strongly in favour of having a CF for NOx at 1,32, not least since the JRC already has shown 
analysis, proposing an uncertainty of 0,32 for PEMS. We can therefore not see any justification in 
delaying bringing the CF up to date – setting it at 1,32. 
 
An update post-entry into force of this legislative file would create an unnecessary delay, creating 
further uncertainty for the industry. 
 
Support to NL comments (WK 9246/2019) 
Denmark share the view of vans being able to use the same aftertreatment systems as lager passenger 
cars. Furthermore vans are increasingly used for deliveries of goods especially in our urban areas 
where most people live and are exposed to air pollution. We cannot see the justification that vans 
should have more relaxed provisions with higher emission limits and later entry into force dates. 
 
NL has a very valid point in their written comments. Saying the "phase-in-value" of 2,1 didn't 
correspond to only uncertainty of the PEMS (portable Emission Monitoring System) equipment. This 
value of 2,1 was  set as an extra lead time for industry to comply with the new RDE test regime.  
 
Therefore, DK agrees with NL in deleting references to CF-pollutant temp.

The delegation of powers 
DK thanks the Council Legal Service for their view and oral presentation at the meeting. A written 
contribution as soon as possible would be of outmost importance for DK to finalise its position. 
 
With regard to the discussion of recital 10, DK proposes to amend the recital as below: 
 
Recital 10 
The Treaty of Lisbon introduced the possibility for the legislator to delegate power to the Commission to adopt non-
legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of a legislative act. The 
measures which can be covered by delegations of powers, as referred to in Article 290(1) TFEU, correspond in 
principle to those covered by the regulatory procedure with scrutiny established by Article 5a of Council Decision 
1999/468/EC. It is therefore necessary to adapt to Article 290 TFEU some of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 
715/2007 which provide for the use of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny. [To be completed after finalisation of 
the main text]
