7. MONITORING AND EVALUATION7.1. Indicators of progress towards meeting the objectivesThe key mechanism by which the proposed Regulation will take effect is through thevehicle type-approval process. Vehicle manufacturers will need to demonstrate thatvehicles comply with – amongst other things – the emission limit requirements in order toreceive a type-approval certificate. The core indicators of progress will therefore be thenumber of vehicles which are successfully type-approved to the Euro 5 standard.7.2. Monitoring and evaluationMonitoring of the effect of the Regulation is effectively undertaken by type approvalauthorities who oversee in-use compliance processes to ensure that requirements of theRegulation are met. More generally, monitoring data on air pollution levels andepidemiology on health impacts will point to the wider success of the policy.32
ANNEX 1: PROCEDURAL ISSUES AND CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIESConsultation and expertiseIn developing the proposal the Commission services have both consulted stakeholders anddrawn on external expertise in a number of ways:• There was consultation with the Motor Vehicles Emissions Group. This is an expertstakeholder working group responsible for supporting the regulatory processes of theCommission on emission related issues. A broad range of interested parties is involvedin the work of this group: national authorities, vehicle manufacturers, componentsuppliers, industry associations and non-governmental organisations.• A questionnaire was sent to stakeholders in February 2004 on possible scenarios ofnew Euro 5 emission limit values for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles. Thequestionnaire aimed at gathering views of stakeholders as to the required technologyand associated costs of meeting various limit value scenarios. The Commission servicesconsulted a wide spectrum of interested organisations through the questionnaire:national authorities, vehicle manufacturers, component suppliers, industry associationsand non-governmental organisations.• An expert panel of consultants was engaged to assess stakeholder responses to thequestionnaires sent out by the Commission services in February 2004 on new Euro 5emission limit values for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles. The panel wascomposed of three independent professionals, whose task was to assess and validatethe stakeholder responses on various emission reduction scenarios and on costs ofnecessary technology. The results of the work of the expert panel were reported to theCommission services.• To understand more fully the results of the questionnaire, the expert panel organised anumber of targeted stakeholder meetings towards the end of 2004 to generateadditional data on technology performance and related costs.• There were presentations to key stakeholders in early 2005 on the results of the work,carried out by the expert panel. The panel produced a technology map and a cost rangeof meeting the various emission reduction scenarios.• The Euro 5 proposal was developed at the same time as the Commission’s thematicstrategy for air pollution (CAFE Programme). Stakeholders were actively engaged inthe discussion of this programme.• Modelling of environmental and economic impacts was undertaken to understand thecost-effectiveness of different emission limit scenarios using the analytical toolsdeveloped under the CAFE Programme were used to model the impacts of differentemission limit levels.C:\Documents and Settings\caprica\Desktop\sec_2005_1745.doc
