Review By 31 December 2020, the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council regarding: the assessment of further pollutant emission reduction potential, on the basis of available technologies and a cost-benefit analysis. In particular, for engines of categories IWP and IWA, the assessment of the technological and economic feasibility of: a further reduction in the emission limit value for PN and NOx emissions; a further reduction in the A-factor for fully and partially gaseous-fuelled engines in the framework of a climate-neutral operation compared to diesel-fuelled engines; and the addition of PN limit values to those engine categories for which such values have not been set out in Annex II to this Regulation; the identification of potentially relevant pollutant types that do not fall within the scope of this Regulation.

In addition, the report shall evaluate the tests required for EU type-approval as set out in Articles 24 and 25, with a particular focus on the extent to which those tests correspond to real engine operation conditions, and it shall also evaluate the feasibility of introducing tests for particulate pollutant emissions as part of the in-service testing set out in Article 19. The reports referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall: be based on consultation with the relevant stakeholders; take into account existing related Union and international standards; and be accompanied, where appropriate, by legislative proposals.
