Recently EU-Directive 2013/60 has been introduced in which chapter 5 of EU Directive 97/24 is amended. One of the amendments concerns the introduction of reference fuels E5 (petrol) and B5 (diesel fuel). When stage C in 97/24-5 is being applied for, reference is made to GTR No. 2. In GTR No. 2, however, these reference fuels have not yet been incorporated. This proposal aims to correct this omission by amending the reference fuel specification for alternative C in table 6-1.
