While Brussels Is preparing for the European Parliament elections, the Commission is expected to present new draft regulations for exhaust emissions from engines installed in non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) before the summer break. After more than a year of intensive discussions with stakeholders - the public consultation on the revision of the present exhaust emission Directive 97/68/EC was launched in January 2013 - the EU Commission is now determined to present this new legislative project.
