(3)Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the associated supply chain and production disruptions, non-road mobile machinery manufacturers, referred to as ‘original equipment manufacturers’ or ‘OEMs’ in Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, had difficulties meeting the deadlines of 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020 set out in that Regulation for the production and the placing on the market of machinery fitted with certain categories of engines that comply with less stringent emission limit values than those of Stage V. Therefore, Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 was amended by Regulation (EU) 2020/1040 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote in order to prolong those deadlines by 12 months.
