Article 24 — Review and reporting by the Commission

1. By 26 November 2030, and every five years thereafter, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the implementation of this Directive. As part of the report, the Commission shall assess: (a) the Directive’s impact on road safety, in particular: (i) whether there is any impact resulting from the granting of equivalences under Article 9(2), points (j) and (k); (ii) whether there is any impact resulting from the granting of equivalences under Article 9(4); (b) the effects on road safety and on the shortage of drivers of the implementation of the accompanied driving scheme for professional driving licence categories, based on the reports received from the Member States in accordance with Article 23(2). The report shall be accompanied, if appropriate, by a legislative proposal. 2. As a part of the report referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall assess new technological developments for alternatively-fuelled vehicles affecting the mass of those vehicles. To that end, the Commission shall use information collected in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles. The Commission may request additional information from vehicle manufacturers on the possible impact of such new technological developments on the mass of vehicles, to support its assessment. Vehicle manufacturers shall be required to provide the data referred to in the first subparagraph within a reasonable timeframe and in compliance with applicable Union law. 3. Without prejudice to paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, by 26 November 2026 or immediately after the adoption of the first of the implementing acts referred to in Article 5(7), whichever is earlier, the Commission shall assess the feasibility of bringing forward the date referred to in Article 3(4), and shall provide a report on its findings. Member States may provide the Commission with information they deem relevant for the purpose of this assessment, and the Commission shall take that information into account. The report shall be accompanied, if appropriate, by a legislative proposal.
