Practice runs over the test cycle set out in 2.1 may be performed at test points, provided an emission sample is not taken, to determine the minimum throttle action required to maintain the proper speed-time relationship.

engine parameters of relevance in an exhaust gas emission context such as setting ranges for the injection timing, permitted cooling water temperature, maximum exhaust gas backpressure, etc.

Further to the merger, EDP will also have access to the daily gas nominations of Turbogás (and of other CCGTs possibly supplied by GDP in the future), that is the information one day in advance about the volume of gas that the CCGT plans to consume on an hourly basis.

(3) On-board diagnostics (OBD) is at a less developed stage for vehicles equipped with positive-ignition engines which run permanently or part-time on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or natural gas (NG) and cannot be required on such new types of vehicles before 2003.

According to the forthcoming 2001 Second Progress Report under Council Decision 99/296/EC greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union have decreased by 4 % since 1990. This situation suggests that in 1999, the EU, as a whole, was in line with its target paths for both 2000 and 2008-2012. However, projections by Member States and the Commission suggest that without policies in addition to those already implemented or in the pipeline greenhouse gas emissions are expected to merely stabilise at 1990 level. This would leave a gap of -8% (about 340 Mt CO2 eq.).
