Proposal for a regulation

Article 6 – paragraph 4 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

4a. The air-conditioning system fluids and gases contained as an initial fill by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in each vehicle type that is type-approved as of 1 January 2030, under Regulation (EU) 2018/858 shall contain, when technically and economically feasible, a minimum of 5 % of reclaimed air-conditioning system fluids by weight from post-consumer recovered refrigerant.

The air-conditioning system fluids and gases contained as an initial fill by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in each vehicle type that is type-approved as of 1 January 2035, under Regulation (EU) 2018/858 shall contain, when technically and economically feasible, a minimum of 10 % of reclaimed air-conditioning system fluid and gases by weight from post-consumer recovered refrigerant.

Or. en

Justification

Mandating the reuse of reclaimed air-conditioning system fluids with progressive targets for 2030 and 2035 will improve resource efficiency and circularity of the automotive sector. Considering the current market dynamics, a step-wise approach to the targets is necessary, beginning with a minimum reclaimed refrigerant rate of 5% in new vehicles by 2030 and a minimum reclaimed refrigerant rate of 10% by 2035. This will allow adequate time for industry adaptation and required infrastructure and skills investment, while facilitating progressive circularity ambition.

Amendment 823

Alexander Bernhuber

Proposal for a regulation

Article 6 – paragraph 4 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

4a. 5. By [Publications Office: please insert date – last day of the month 35 months after the entry into force of this Regulation], the Commission shall assess the feasibility of setting a minimum content requirement for the following materials:

1. Rubber from waste tyres

2. Glass from end-of-life vehicles

For this purpose, it must carry out a feasibility study.

If, on the basis of the feasibility study, it is possible to impose minimum proportions of rubber from waste tyres and glass from end-of-life vehicles in the manufacture of new vehicles, the Commission shall forward an amendment to the Council and Parliament providing for the introduction of these minimum proportions.

Or. en

Justification

It would be very important to increase the demand for recycled rubber for new tyres and car components in order to improve tyre recycling in the Union. There is also a need for action with regard to glass. Currently, the glass from end-of-life vehicles is hardly recycled, as this is largely a cost factor. The obligation to remove glass alone will not create a market and must be balanced by extended producer responsibility. Instead of increasing costs, the possibility of setting targets for the recycled content of glass in new vehicles should be explored.

Amendment 824

Bruno Tobback, Elisabeth Grossmann

Proposal for a regulation

Article 6 – paragraph 4 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

4a. For the rubber contained in each vehicle type that is type-approved as of ... [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 72 months after the date of entry into force of the Regulation] under Regulation (EU) 2018/858 the following minimum percentages shall apply:

– for rubber applications on the vehicle frame, 20% shall originate from post-consumer waste recycling,

– for rubber in tyres, 10% shall originate from post-consumer waste recycling.

Or. en

Justification

65% of the production of general rubber goods is destined for the automotive sector. Therefore, this regulation is ideally placed to create a lead market for recycled rubber. This avoids rubber (and especially rubber tyres) ending up in incineration processes or landfill. The EU’s strategic autonomy is enhanced by lowering reliance on imports of natural and synthetic rubber from third countries.

Amendment 825

Bruno Tobback, Elisabeth Grossmann

Proposal for a regulation

Article 6 – paragraph 4 b (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

4b. Independent and accredited third parties shall be in charge of monitoring compliance of the above-mentioned recycled content targets. They shall issue certifications that ensure the minimum recycled content targets are met correctly, that mention the origin of the post-consumer waste and that demonstrate that collection, sorting and recycling:

– in the EU was conducted according to relevant EU legislation and requirements,

– outside of the EU was conducted in line with relevant EU legislation and requirements.

Or. en

Justification

It makes no sense setting rules if their application is not being monitored and verified. Therefore, independent and accredited third parties shall be in charge of monitoring the correct application of the requirements in this Regulation and shall issue certificates of proof. This will also eliminate green-washing practices. In the case of recycled waste originating from outside of the EU, it should be verified that all relevant social, environmental and technical rules and legislation applicable in the EU, were also respected in the processes of third countries. It is pointless to strive for a circular economy in the EU respecting social, environmental and technical standards if we allow waste streams from third countries not respecting these standards to be dumped on our market.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

1. Each vehicle belonging to a vehicle type that is type-approved as of [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 72 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation] shall be designed in a way which does not hinder the removal by authorised treatment facilities of the parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VII from the concerned vehicle during the waste phase of the vehicle.

1. Each vehicle belonging to a vehicle type that is type-approved as of [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 36 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation] shall be designed in a way which enables, in a readily and non-destructive manner, the removal, repair, remanufacturing, refurbishment, retrofitting and replacement, by repair, maintenance and retrofit operators and by authorised treatment facilities, of all the parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VII, except for those referred to in paragraph 2, from the concerned vehicle, during the use phase and waste phase of the vehicle, and shall be designed to enable routine repairs using Class A tools, in accordance with standard EN45554, and more complex repairs using Class B tools.

Or. en

Justification

Shortening the deadline as to enable sufficient supply of parts and components to repairers and recyclers. Reference to Class A and B tools is there to enable repairs by independent operators.

Article 7 – paragraph 1

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

1. Each vehicle belonging to a vehicle type that is type-approved as of [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 72 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation] shall be designed in a way which allows for the easy removal by authorised treatment facilities of the parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VII from the concerned vehicle during the waste phase of the vehicle, where technically and economically feasible.

Or. en

Justification

The meaning of “does not hinder” in Article 7(1) is not clearly defined. To ensure clarity and practical applicability, this sub-clause should be reworded to make its meaning more explicit and feasible in practice. Moreover, for certain components listed—such as entire wire harnesses, dashboards, and similar assemblies—easy dismantling at the design stage is not feasible. Moreover, these components often have no viable aftermarket as spare parts.

Justification

Introducing new type-approval demands would diverge from the globally harmonised UN R133 regulation, reducing synergies and standardization for non-EU markets.

New vehicle type: Type approval application submitted after entry into force + 60 months. All vehicle types: Type approval application, including those already type approved, from [entry into force + 108 months].

Or. en

Justification

The application scope in Article 2, 1.(b) includes vehicles and ELVs of categories M2, M3, N2, N3, and O, potentially covering all such vehicles on the EU market. Ensuring compliance for older vehicles becoming ELVs after the entry into force + 60 months is highly challenging. The scope should be limited to vehicles type-approved after entry into force + 60 months and all registered vehicles after entry into force + 108 months. Integrating dismantling information into type approval ensures compliance through established EU control mechanisms.

Amendment

1. Vehicle manufacturers shall as of [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 60 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation], the manufacturer shall draw up a circularity strategy.

Or. en

Justification

The requirement to submit a circularity strategy for each type-approved model lacks clear benefits. Instead, applying this requirement at the manufacturer level would better align with the ELV Regulation's recycling strategy, ensuring consistency, reducing administrative burden, and fostering long-term circularity. Additionally, extending the compliance period from 36 to 60 months is essential to allow manufacturers sufficient time to adapt, integrate circularity measures, and implement them effectively.

5. The manufacturer shall monitor and follow up on the actions contained in the circularity strategy and update the strategy every five years in accordance with Part B of Annex IV. The updated circularity strategy shall be provided to the type-approval authority that issued the type-approval for the vehicle type and to the Commission.

5. The manufacturer shall monitor and follow up on the actions contained in the circularity strategy and update the strategy in case of any relevant changes. The updated circularity strategy shall be provided to the type-approval authority that issued the type-approval for the vehicle type and to the Commission.

Or. en

Justification

Requiring regular updates to the circularity strategy at fixed intervals would create an unnecessary burden for both manufacturers and type-approval authorities. Instead, updates should only be required when significant changes occur in relevant processes or circumstances, ensuring a more efficient and targeted approach without imposing undue administrative complexity.

Manufacturers shall declare, for each new vehicle type that is type-approved as of [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 36 months after the adoption of the implementing act establishing the methodology for the calculation and verification of the share of the materials recycled from post-consumer waste in vehicle types, as referred to in Article 6 (4 5)] under Regulation (EU) 2018/858, the respective share of recycled content of:

Or. en

Justification

Before the declaration requirement can be implemented, a robust calculation and verification methodology must first be developed. Given the complexity of the automotive supply chain, sufficient time is required to collect accurate data. A standardised methodology is essential to ensure compliance with the requirements.

To ensure transparency and stimulate demand for recycled plastics, a mandatory declaration period and incentives for proactive OEMs should precede recycled content targets. Suppliers must be prepared early, with data available by 2029 for 2032 targets. A clear methodology must be established before declarations to ensure accuracy and comparability.

New technologies are accompanied by new challenges and risks. Emergency services world-wide are asking for more information and guidance on the specifics of these new technologies and vehicles as it can save lives during rescue operations. At least the information included in the International Dismantling Information System (IDIS) platform should be available for emergency services. The ISO17840 Standard can be of help here, as it provides a template document (rescue sheet, pictograms, response guide, ...) which OEMs can use to inform emergency services about this vital information. When OEMs use this form, they even get a higher safety score attributed by the European New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP).

Double regulation should be avoided. The EU End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Regulation should solely specify circularity and labelling requirements for vehicle parts. Manufacturers need time to adapt to e-drive motor labelling. Annex VI Point 4 must align with the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) timeline, with labelling applicable from May 24, 2029. It is therefore recommended to postpone the obligation to 36 months after entry into force. Moreover, contradictions between CRMA and ELV labelling scope and timelines must be resolved to ensure clarity.

Justification

To avoid duplication and unnecessary burdens related to providing an overwhelming amount of data, the Circularity Vehicle Passport should require information only per vehicle type, not for each individual vehicle. Duplication from differing product passports required under different legislative regimes must be avoided. The established International Dismantling Information System (IDIS), which is free of charge and accessible to all concerned industry actors, should be used and developed rather than creating new systems.

Or. en

Justification

The circular vehicle passport should apply only to newly approved vehicles relevant to the ELV. A grandfathering clause should exempt type-approved vehicles before the ELV's entry into force.

Or. en

Justification

Amendment aims to ensure the effective implementation of the circularity vehicle passport while avoiding unnecessary bureaucratic burdens and additional costs for vehicle manufacturers. The original provision, which requires a passport for each individual vehicle placed on the market, would lead to significant administrative complexity and financial strain on producers, particularly in terms of compliance, data management, and regulatory oversight. By shifting the requirement to each new vehicle type approved, the amendment ensures that circularity information is properly documented and available without imposing disproportionate administrative costs. This approach aligns with existing regulatory frameworks in the automotive sector, where obligations are typically linked to vehicle type approvals rather than individual units. This amendment maintains the intended environmental and transparency benefits of the circularity vehicle passport while ensuring a more proportionate, cost-effective and industry-friendly approach to its implementation.

Extended producer responsibility

From [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 36 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation] producers shall have extended producer responsibility for vehicles that they make available on the market for the first time within the territory of a Member State. The scheme established by producers to exercise that responsibility shall be consistent with Articles 8 and 8a of Directive 2008/98/EC and comply with the requirements of this Chapter.

The extended producer responsibility shall include the obligation for producers to ensure that:

(a) vehicles which they have made available on the market for the first time within the territory of a Member State and which become end-of-life vehicles

(i) collected in accordance with Article 23;

(ii) treated in accordance with Article 27;

(b) the waste management operators treating end-of-life vehicles referred to in point (a) meet the targets laid down in Article 34.

Or. en

Justification

In contrast to established EPR systems, such as those used in the packaging waste sector, vehicles are very durable products and only reach the end of their service life after an average of 17 years of use. EPR systems are associated with additional administrative work for waste management companies (in particular reporting and reporting, obligations to cooperate, etc.) and should only be used if the costs of proper treatment and recycling exceed the value of the recovered materials.

The appointment shall be made by means of a written mandate.

Or. en

Justification

EPR should remain a producer-led duty under Directive 2008/98/EC, with non-profit Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) established by several producers. To strengthen compliance, distance sellers should appoint an authorised representative. Since producers lack enforcement power over waste operators, only waste operators should report compliance.

Beyond vehicles, also spare parts marketed separately that are installed during the life-cycle of the vehicle should be in the scope of extended producer responsibility, as these also require collection and treatment at the end of their life or at the end-of-life of the vehicle.

6. The obligations under this Article may be fulfilled on a producer’s behalf by an authorised representative for the extended producer responsibility. If more than one producer is represented in the country by one authorised representative, that authorised representative shall provide the name and the contact details for each of the represented producers separately.

Justification

The correct terminology, "authorised representative," should be used, and they must provide the names and contact details of all represented producers.

Producer Responsibility Organisation

2. Producer responsibility organisations shall ensure the confidentiality of the data in their possession as regards proprietary information or information directly attributable to individual producers or their appointed representatives for the extended producer responsibility.

3. In addition to the information referred to in Article 8a(3), point (e), of Directive 2008/98/EC, producer responsibility organisations shall publish on their websites at least each year, subject to commercial and industrial confidentiality, the information on the collection of end-of-life vehicles and achievement of targets on reuse and recycling, reuse and recovery and plastic recycling by the producers which entrusted the producer responsibility organisation.

4. Producer responsibility organisations shall ensure a fair representation of producers and waste management operators in their governing bodies.

Or. en

Justification

Due to their positive material value, the collection and recycling of end-of-life vehicles has not yet required (extended) producer responsibility. The vehicle trade (manufacturers and importers) as well as workshops and repairers should continue to guarantee the free take-back of end-of-life vehicles of the respective brand(s) as first purchasers and their transfer to authorised waste management companies.

Or. en

Justification

Producers should have the choice between individual and collective EPR fulfilment. To ensure uniform implementation of Directive 2008/98/EC, Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) should be clarified as non-profit. Experiences show varying interpretations of financial contributions under Art. 8a(4)(a). The Commission should conduct a competition impact assessment and provide guidelines on the setup of PROs across the Union.

Producers opting for individual compliance may also choose a hybrid system, allowing them to collectively address specific aspects such as data collection, awareness campaigns, or recovery level assessments while maintaining individual responsibility for other obligations.

Or. en

Justification

The regulation should allow the possibility of producers to adopt “hybrid” compliance systems, indicating that, for example, they could comply with some obligations such as setting a collection system individually but others such as the control of the recovery levels achieved collectively.

Justification

These rules should apply both to individual producers and to producers which have entrusted a producer responsibility organisation and should thus be published either by the individual producer or the responsibility organisation.

4. Producer responsibility organisations shall ensure a fair representation of producers and waste management operators in their governing bodies.

Or. fr

Justification

The terminology used in this paragraph is very vague, as the term ‘fair’ is not clearly defined. There could thus be a conflict of interest if the producer responsibility organisation included representatives of trading partners from an organisation promoting clean vehicles. Consequently, these provisions risk creating market conditions that contradict EU competition law.

Or. en

Justification

To avoid conflicts of interest, contract partners of a PRO should not be represented in its governing body, in line with Art. 8a(6) WFD. Moreover, the proposal lacks a definition of “fair,” and it must be ensured that required actions comply with competition law.

Or. en

Justification

Producer responsibility organisations can be established in different ways by producers, appointed by Member States as an independent entity, as based on Art 15 Directive 2008/98/EC Member States have flexibility in organising their waste management systems. Thus, national EPR schemes require different ways to engage stakeholders. Thus we support the Council proposal in its partial compromise text of 3 December 2024, that it is sufficient to refer to the provisions of Article 8a para 6 of the Waste Framework Directive to provide flexibility for PROs to comply with this article.
