Recital (11) · Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/2250

(11)In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, a manufacturer should be considered as compliant with its specific emission target referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation where the average emissions indicated in this Decision are lower than the specific emissions target, expressed as a negative distance to target. Where the average emissions exceed the specific emissions target, an excess emission premium are to be imposed in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, unless the manufacturer concerned benefits from an exemption from that target in accordance with Article 2(4) or Article 11 of that Regulation or is a member of a pool in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation and the pool complies with its specific emissions target.

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.
Average CO2 (70 %) corrected
means the average specific emissions of CO2 that have been calculated on the basis of the 70 % lowest emitting vehicles in the manufacturer's fleet in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011.
Distance to target
means the difference between the average specific emissions of CO2 specified in column D and the specific emissions target in column E.
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.
DMD
means that a de minimis derogation applies, i.e. a manufacturer which together with all its connected undertakings was responsible for fewer than 1000 new registered vehicles in 2014 does not have to meet a specific emissions target.
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 or CO2 are missing and those records which the manufacturer does not recognise.
