(1)

The average mass value used for the purpose of calculating the specific emissions of CO2 for each new passenger car is to be adjusted every 3 years to take into account any changes in the average mass of the new vehicles registered in the Union.

(2)

It is evident from the monitoring of the mass in running order of new passenger cars registered in the Union in the calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016 that the average mass has decreased and the figure M0 referred to in point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 should therefore be adjusted.

(3)

The new value should be determined by taking into account only those values that the vehicle manufacturers concerned have been able to verify whilst excluding values from the calculation that were obviously incorrect (i.e. values lower than 500 kg), as well as values relating to vehicles that did not fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. Moreover, the new value should be based on the weighted average taking into account the number of new passenger car registrations in the Union in calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016.

(4)

Against that background, the M0 value to be applied from 2019 should be decreased by 12,52 kg from 1 392,4 to 1 379,88 kg.

(5)

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,

(1)

the following point (ba) is inserted:

(2)

in point (c), the figure M0 is replaced by the following:

‘M0 = 1 379,88’.
