"The maximum exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates (PM) from diesel engines of non-road mobile machinery are regulated in Directive 97/68/EC. The 2004 revision of Directive 2004/26/EC introduced the current emission limits of stage IIIA, and set the deadlines and limit values for the subsequent stage IIIB. The application of these more stringent limits will start progressively from January 2011 onwards, depending on the power category. Machinery covered by the directive includes various kinds of land-based machinery intended for construction, forestry and agriculture, for example. The directive also applies to locomotives, railcars and inland waterway vessels. It covers a great variety of machinery manufacturers (an estimated 1 500 companies), many of which do not produce the engines used in these machines. The engines are only produced by a few large companies. I believe that, as a result of the crisis, companies will be unable to implement the requirements, hence the proposal to permit the manufacture of engines until 2014 by increasing the percentage under the flexibility scheme, i.e. the Commission proposes increasing the percentage from the current 20% to 50%. I welcomed these proposed flexibility measures, which would remain in force until 13 December 2013."@en1
