Regulation (EU) 2018/858 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles has been published in the Official Journal of the EU on 14 June 2018, following Council approval.
The publication concludes a two year and a half process on this file, which started with the Commission proposal in January 2016.
As the review process has had a limited focus on RMI provisions, UEIL will continue to follow this issue and push for the Commission to undertake specific technical work on this topic.

Deloitte recommended the European Commission to publish a review of the ETD as this is in line with the European Commission’s agenda on the

Climate and Energy Package and there is now more support for an ETD in Council.
Related to UEIL’s objective to prevent the inclusion of lubes under EMCS, UEIL will continue its actions.
