Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/2251Show full title

Explanatory notes to Tables 1 and 2: U.K.

Column A: U.K.

Table 1

:

‘Manufacturer name’ means the name of the manufacturer as notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned or, where no such notification has taken place, the name registered by the registration authority of the Member State.

Table 2

:

‘Pool name’ means the name of the pool declared by the pool manager.

Column B: U.K.

‘D’ means that a derogation relating to a small volume manufacturer has been granted in accordance with Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 with effect for the calendar year 2014.

‘ND’ means that a derogation relating to a niche manufacturer has been granted in accordance with Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 with effect for the calendar year 2014.

‘DMD’ means that a de minimis derogation applies, i.e. a manufacturer which together with all its connected undertakings was responsible for fewer than 1 000 new registered vehicles in 2014 does not have to meet a specific emissions target.

‘P’ means that the manufacturer is a member of a pool (listed in Table 2) formed in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and the pooling agreement is valid for calendar year 2014.

Column C: U.K.

‘Number of registrations’ means the total number of new cars registered by Member States in a calendar year, not counting those registrations that relate to records where the values for mass and/or CO₂ are missing and those records which the manufacturer does not recognise. The number of registrations reported by Member States may otherwise not be changed.

Column D: U.K.

‘Average CO₂ (80 %) corrected’ means the average specific emissions of CO₂ that have been calculated on the basis of the 80 % lowest emitting vehicles in the manufacturer's fleet in accordance with the third indent of the second subparagraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and point 4 of Commission Communication COM(2010) 657 final. Where appropriate, the average specific emissions have been adjusted to take into account the corrections notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned. The records used for the calculation includes those that contain a valid value for mass and CO₂ emissions.

Column E: U.K.

‘Specific emissions target’ means the emissions target calculated on the basis of the average mass of all vehicles attributed to a manufacturer applying the formula set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.

Column F: U.K.

‘Distance to target’ means the difference between the average specific emissions specified in column D and the specific emissions target in column E. Where the value in column F is positive the average specific emissions exceed the specific emissions target.

Column G: U.K.

‘Distance to target adjusted’ means that where the values in this column are different from those in column F, the values in that column have been adjusted to take into account an error margin. The error margin only applies if the manufacturer has notified the Commission of records with the error code B as set out in Article 9(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1014/2010. The error margin is calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Error

=

absolute value of [(AC1 – TG1) – (AC2 – TG2)]

AC1

=

the average specific emissions of CO₂ including the unidentifiable vehicles (as set out in column D);

TG1

=

the specific emissions target including the unidentifiable vehicles (as set out in column E);

AC2

=

the average specific emissions of CO₂ excluding the unidentifiable vehicles;

TG2

=

the specific emissions target excluding the unidentifiable vehicles.

Column I: U.K.

‘Average CO₂ (100 %)’ means the average specific emissions of CO₂ that have been calculated on the basis of 100 % of the vehicles attributed to the manufacturer. Where appropriate, the average specific emissions have been adjusted to take into account the corrections notified to the Commission by the manufacturer concerned. The records used for the calculation includes those that contain a valid value for mass and CO₂ emissions but do not take into account the super-credits referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.
