(19) It is appropriate to implement the measures announced in the Communication from the Commission of 7 February 2007 entitled ‘Results of the review of the Community Strategy to reduce CO_(2) emissions from passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles’ aiming at reducing CO_(2) emissions from tyres. This reduction should be achieved through a combination of low rolling resistance tyres and the use of tyre pressure monitoring systems. At the same time, it is also appropriate to set out requirements aiming at reducing tyre road noise and wet grip requirements ensuring that tyre safety levels are maintained. The related implementation timetable should reflect the degree of challenge in meeting all of those requirements. In particular, due to the challenge in meeting the requirements regarding rolling noise and taking into account the time needed by industry to replace existing lines of tyres, it is appropriate to provide for a longer period for implementation of rolling noise requirements with regard to new tyres of existing types.
