Amendment 1073

Alexandr Vondra, Piotr Müller

Proposal for a regulation

Article 20 – paragraph 1 – introductory part

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

1. The financial contributions paid by the producer shall cover the following costs related to the vehicles that the producer makes available on the market:

1. The financial contributions paid by the producer to contracted waste management operators within their individual or collective extended producer responsibility scheme according to Article 16 shall cover the following costs related to the vehicles that the producer makes available on the market:

Or. en

Justification

Article 20(1) requires producers to cover costs not offset by revenues from used parts, depolluted ELVs, or raw materials. Unlike other end-of-life products, ELVs hold value, making profit claims unverifiable without full financial disclosure. Compensation should be contractually negotiated, and producers should not be obliged to subsidise inefficient operators. Only contracted waste management operators can claim deficit compensation, ensuring fairness and efficiency in the system.

Or. en

Justification

A full adjustment to Article 8a of Waste Framework Directive is needed to avoid regulatory inconsistency for the different waste streams. The above technical amendment is in line with the text adopted in the Council’s general approach on the revision Waste Framework Directive in regards to EPR schemes for textiles.

(a) the average costs of collection, recycling and treatment operations and the revenues of waste management operators;

(b) the level of financial contributions to be paid by the producers to the producer responsibility organisations appointed in the case of collective fulfilment of extended producer responsibility obligations so that the costs are fairly allocated between all interested operators.

Or. en

Justification

This text requires authorities to monitor waste management operators' costs and revenues to ensure fair cost allocation. Clarification is needed regarding intent and uniform implementation across Member States. Any approach conflicting with free-market principles should be rejected, and urge consultation with DG Competition to ensure compliance with competition rules.

(a) the average costs of collection, recycling and treatment operations and the revenues of waste management operators;

deleted

Or. en

Justification

Based on available experience, the average costs of collection, recycling and treatment operations and the revenues of waste management companies from the sale of used spare parts and secondary raw materials can never be accurately calculated, as they are based on individual, confidential and strategic internal company data related to the business models used by the waste management companies. This data must continue to be treated confidentially in accordance with the relevant competition and data protection laws.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

deleted

Or. fr

Justification

The stated aim of the monitoring exercise is to achieve a fair allocation of costs among all operators concerned. This method goes against the very principle of free trade. What is more, this provision seeks to facilitate a fair allocation of costs but, illogically, does not address the fair allocation of revenue. As it stands, the legislation is likely to favour recycling operators over car manufacturers.

Amendment

In case of a state-run producer responsibility organisation the Member State needs to ensure that the fees collected by the state-run Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) from the producers are not used for purposes unrelated to running an efficient system collection and treatment of end-of-life vehicles.

Or. en

Justification

A state-run Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) contradicts the aim of extended producer responsibility in this Regulation. Consistent legislation across all Member States is essential. If a state-run PRO is permitted to continue, it must be ensured that fees collected from producers are solely used for the efficient collection and treatment of ELVs and not diverted for other purposes.

Article 20 – paragraph 4 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

4a. A producer, in the case of individual fulfilment of extended producer responsibility obligations, and producer responsibility organisations appointed in the case of collective fulfilment of extended producer responsibility, shall provide a guarantee intended to cover the costs related to waste management operations due by the producer, or the producer responsibility organisation, in the event of non-compliance with the extended producer responsibility obligations, including in the event of permanent cessation of their operations or insolvency. Member States may specify additional requirements concerning such guarantee.

In the case of a state-run producer responsibility organisation, such guarantee may be provided otherwise than by the organisation itself and may take the form of a public fund that is financed by producers’ fees and for which the Member State running the organisation is jointly and severally liable.

The guarantee may take the form of participation by the producer in appropriate schemes for the financing of the management of end-of-life vehicles, a recycling insurance or a blocked bank account.

Or. en

Justification

The Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 already covers electric vehicle batteries, so double financing of EPRs must be avoided. Thus, EV batteries should be excluded from vehicle weight in fee modulation.

Or. en

Justification

According to Article 20(1), producers, including professional used car importers (Article 3(22)), must pay a recycling fee when placing a vehicle on the market. Over its lifetime, a vehicle may incur multiple fees across Member States and could be exported outside the EU. Producers must be compensated for fees paid to PROs for exported vehicles to prevent double payments and avoid financing recycling for vehicles that will not enter the EU treatment chain.

Where a vehicle becomes an end-of-life vehicle in another Member State than the Member State within whose territory the vehicle was made available on the market for the first time, the producer of that vehicle or, where appointed in accordance with Article 18, the producer responsibility organisation shall ensure that the net costs of waste management operations referred to in Article 20 incurred by waste management operators in other Member States are covered.

2. A producer or, where appointed in accordance with Article 18, a producer responsibility organisation shall:

(a) designate by a written mandate an appointed representative for the extended producer responsibility in each Member State;

(b) establish cross-border cooperation mechanisms with the waste management operators carrying out waste management operations referred to in Article 20.

3. The Member State where the vehicle became an end-of-life vehicle shall monitor producers’ or, where appointed in accordance with Article 18, producer responsibility organisations’ compliance with paragraphs 1 and 2. The monitoring shall be based on the information reported and verified by producers’ or, where appointed in accordance with Article 18, producer responsibility organisations’, to the competent authorities on the implementation of paragraphs 1 and 2, in particular on the calculation and allocation of costs for the management of end-of-life vehicles referred to in paragraph 1, with due regard for business confidentiality and other concerns regarding competitiveness.

The EU should not delegate the waste management of the exported EOL vehicles while retaining the fees meant to pay for it.

Financial responsibility allocation mechanism for registered vehicles

1. Where a vehicle is registered in another Member State than the Member State within whose territory the vehicle was made available on the market for the first time, the producer of that vehicle or, where appointed in accordance with Article 17, the producer responsibility organisation shall ensure that the financial contributions related to that vehicle and defined according to art. 20 and art. 21 in the Member State where the vehicle is registered, are paid.

2. For the purpose of paragraph 1, a producer or, where appointed in accordance with Article 17, a producer responsibility organisation shall:

(a) designate by a written mandate an appointed authorized representative for the extended producer responsibility in each Member State;

(b) establish cross-border cooperation mechanisms with the producer or, where appointed in accordance with Article 18, a producer responsibility organisation on the territory of the Member State where the vehicle according to paragraph 1 is registered.

3. The Member State where the vehicle was registered shall monitor producers’ or, where appointed in accordance with Article 17, producer responsibility organisations’ compliance with paragraphs 1 and 2. The monitoring shall be based on the information reported and verified by producers’ or, where appointed in accordance with Article 17, producer responsibility organisations’, to the competent authorities on the implementation of paragraphs 1 and 2, in particular on the calculation and allocation of financial contributions related to the registered vehicles referred to in paragraph 1, with due regard for business confidentiality and other concerns regarding competitiveness.

Or. en

Justification

geographical principle of payment of the fee: when a vehicle is registered on the territory of a given Member State, then the corresponding fee determined by that Member State must be paid. All Member States should also have equal and fair opportunities and duties under the Regulation.

1a. From ... [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 24 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation] insurance for vehicles shall be paid by the last vehicle owner until the end-of-life vehicle is handed-over to an authorised treatment facility. When the transfer takes place, a certificate of destruction is issued which serves for the last owner as proof to the insurance company to stop the payment of insurance fees.

Insurance companies should provide on a monthly basis a list to the competent authorities of vehicles for which they have received the certificate of destruction from the last owner.

Or. en

Justification

Every year, millions of cars "disappear" in Europe. These '"missing cars", end up in illegal circuits or, when no longer roadworthy, take up valuable space, pose safety and environmental risks and are not being recycled to retrieve valuable resources. More needs to be done to ensure proper collection and handling of end-of-life vehicles to get them off our roads or out of illegal hands. Financial incentives, such as insurance fees that continue until the vehicle is handed over to an authorised treatment facility, can be one solution for this. The insurance companies should then, each month, provide a list to the competent authorities of these vehicles for which they have received the certificate of destruction so monitoring and tracking can take place.

(a) ensure that the collection point meets the conditions for storage of end-of-life vehicles, laid down in Part A of Annex VII;

(b) be authorised by the competent authorities referred to in Article 14 to collect end-of-life vehicles and be registered in the respective register;

(c) guarantee that all collected end-of-life vehicles are transferred to an authorised treatment facility within one year from receipt of the end-of-life vehicle; and

(d) meet all other applicable conditions for storage of waste laid down in national law.

Or. en

Justification

The decision to allow producers/PROs to set up collection points should be an EU-wide standard, not left to Member States. Article 23(1) supports this by permitting producers to include collection points in take-back systems, ensuring a more customer-friendly approach. As in other EU EPR laws, distributors should also be involved, enabling producers/PROs to establish collection points through their dealers, ensuring an efficient and extensive collection system.

1a. Only economic operators according to Article 3(1), point (22) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 are authorised to remove an electric vehicle battery from the vehicle.

Or. en

Justification

High-voltage traction battery removal from ELVs must be carried out only by trained professionals, not end users, to prevent risks to people and the environment. Unauthorised separation before proper collection poses safety hazards. Producer-controlled removal ensures compliance with the Batteries Regulation, enabling circular economy goals like remanufacturing and recyclate recovery.

Article 24 – paragraph 2

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

2. Delivery of an end-of-life vehicle to an authorised treatment facility shall be free of charge for the last owner of a vehicle unless the end-of-life vehicle lacks any of the essential vehicle parts or components, such as the catalytic converter, the powertrain, the chassis, the wheels, SLI batteries or the electric vehicle battery, or contains waste which has been added to the end-of-life vehicle. The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts, in line with art 50 of this Regulation, to determine and update, in line with technological developments, the lists of parts and components that need to be present in the car at time of delivery to the authorised treatment facility, as well as the fees authorised treatment facilities can charge to the last owners for any missing parts.

Or. en

Justification

In order to protect valuable resource streams and the proper functioning of the EU circular economy, valuable parts and components, including the electric vehicle battery, need to be present in the end-of-life vehicle at the moment the car is handed over to the authorised treatment facility. Moreover, for environmental and safety reasons, and to avoid illegal trade, these components should only be removed by skilled workers and suitable processes in authorised facilities.

2. Delivery of an end-of-life vehicle to an authorised treatment facility or a collection point shall be free of charge for the last owner of a vehicle unless the end-of-life vehicle lacks any of the essential vehicle parts or components, including parts of the vehicle not approved in a single-stage type approval process other than the base vehicle, except the electric vehicle battery, or contains waste which has been added to the end-of-life vehicle. In case of a missing electric vehicle battery, the delivery of the vehicle shall only be free of charge if the last owner provides proof that the battery has been handed over to an economic operator according to Art. 3; 1. (22) Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.

Or. en

Justification

To prevent ‘negative selection’ in multi-stage ELVs, only full vehicles should be accepted, curbing the sale of profitable bodywork while submitting costly-to-recycle parts. Moreover, Article 26 mandates free ELV collection. High-voltage EV batteries require trained handling; unauthorised removal risks safety and the environment. Free delivery without the battery is allowed only with proof of handover to an authorised operator per Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Article 3(1)(22).

2a. Parts or components missing from end-of-life vehicles delivered to an authorised treatment facility or collection point must be regarded as re-used or recycled in the calculations for the recycling quota.

Or. en

Justification

Parts, especially traction batteries, are only removed from ELVs if there is a viable market for reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishment, or recycling. Missing batteries from ELVs at Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) count as parts for reuse in recycling quota calculations. Other missing parts are considered re-used or recycled, as they are expected to have been legally removed and properly managed within the existing professional infrastructure.

Justification

Batteries missing from ELVs delivered to ATFs, as with any other missing parts must be regarded as parts for re-use or recycled in the calculations for the recycling quota. This is because batteries are valuable components that can be reused or recycled to prevent environmental harm and minimize waste. Including missing batteries in the recycling quota calculations ensures that all parts of the ELVs are accounted for.

Justification

Every year, millions of cars "disappear" in Europe. These '"missing cars", end up in illegal circuits or, when no longer roadworthy, take up valuable space, pose safety and environmental risks and are not being recycled to retrieve valuable resources. More needs to be done to ensure proper collection and handling of end-of-life vehicles to get them off our roads or out of illegal hands. Financial incentives, such as setting up deposit refund schemes in the Member States, can be one solution for this. A fee is paid to the deposit scheme when the car is sold to the first owner. At the end-of-life, when the vehicle is handed-over to the authorised treatment facility in the required state, the fee may be retrieved as "a financial reward" by the last owner. National schemes shall be connected to allow for transfers of vehicles between Member States. These refund scheme, connected between the Member States, can also help to remedy art 22, which is deemed problematic by many Member States.

Justification

The Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is vital for final vehicle de-registration, with strict enforcement under Article 26. Effective systems, like in the Netherlands, integrate authorities, insurance, and enforcement to prevent "missing vehicles" and should guide an EU-wide approach. Temporary de-registration should suspend tax and insurance for a limited period (e.g., one year) but include conditions like fees or continued payments if deadlines are missed.

Article 25a

Deregistration of vehicles

(1) Vehicles falling within the scope of this Regulation which are definitively taken off the road may only be deregistered if they have been subject to a certificate of destruction submitted to the registration authority.

(2) In any case of deregistration, the vehicle owner shall declare to the registration authority whether or not the vehicle will be permanently taken off the road.

(3) If the vehicle owner has not proven to the authority at the time of deregistration that the deregistered vehicle has been handed over or has not declared on presentation of a certificate of destruction that the vehicle will be permanently taken off the road, he shall be obliged to report to the registration authority one year after the deregistration has taken place. In this message, it must be announced whether and to whom the vehicle has been handed over in the meantime. In the event that the vehicle has not been handed over, it must be stated where the vehicle has been parked or stored and in what technical condition the vehicle is.

(4) If a notification has been made to the registration authority in accordance with paragraph 3, the registration authority shall hand over the notification to the authority responsible for compliance with waste legislation. If, on the basis of the forwarded report, the authority responsible for compliance with waste law has doubts as to whether the vehicle is an end-of-life vehicle, it must initiate an assessment procedure ex officio. In any case, the assessment procedure must be terminated by the authority responsible for compliance with waste law if the vehicle owner submits a certificate of destruction. If the determination procedure shows that the vehicle is an end-of-life vehicle, the vehicle owner must hand over the end-of-life vehicle to an approved treatment facility and hand over the certificate of destruction to the registration authority and a copy to the authority responsible for compliance with waste legislation.

Or. en

Justification

If a vehicle is finally taken off the road, the deregistration may only take place if a certificate of destruction has been submitted. Very often, however, vehicles are not deregistered permanently, but only temporarily. There is no more information on the whereabouts of the vehicles and the condition of the vehicles from the time of deregistration. In order to ensure that deregistered vehicles that are parked by the owners on private property (e.g. meadows) do not pose an environmental hazard, we advocate the introduction of a reporting obligation for the vehicle owner.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 25 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

Article 25a

Deregistration Rights of Former Vehicle Owners

1. A former owner of a used vehicle who has lawfully sold the vehicle to a new buyer shall have the right to request deregistration of the vehicle from the ownership registry, regardless of the presence of the buyer.

2. The deregistration request shall be granted upon submission of:

a) a signed and validated sales contract (purchase agreement) confirming the transfer of ownership; or

b) a signed sales contract (purchase agreement) confirming the transfer of ownership with proof of a completed financial transaction supporting the validity of the purchase agreement.

3. The absence of the buyer shall not prevent or delay the deregistration process.

4. Upon deregistration, the former owner shall be relieved of any legal responsibility associated with the vehicle

5. Member States shall ensure that their respective vehicle registration systems facilitate the deregistration process and prevent any undue liability on former owners who have legally transferred ownership of their vehicles.

Or. en

Justification

Without deregistration rights, sellers of used vehicles may face legal and financial risks from new owners’ actions, including unpaid fines or illegal exports if the new owner does not register the vehicle. By implementing clear deregistration rights, MS can enhance transparency, improve vehicle tracking, and reduce opportunities for fraud and illegal exports. This measure not only safeguards former owners but also strengthens the integrity of the vehicle registration system, promoting responsible vehicle transactions and ensuring compliance with legal standards.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 26 – paragraph 1 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

Notwithstanding the obligations set out in paragraph 1, the economic irreparability of the vehicle shall be determined solely by its owner, who retains the exclusive right to decide whether to proceed with repairs. At most, a vehicle assessment by a qualified individual may indicate that the cost of necessary repairs exceeds the market value of the vehicle, but such an evaluation shall serve only as an advisory opinion and shall not impose any restriction on the owner's decision to restore the vehicle to a roadworthy condition.

Or. en

Justification

The amendment reinforces the fundamental principle of private ownership, ensuring that the decision to repair a vehicle remains exclusively with the owner, without external interference. Whether a vehicle is restored for use or kept in any condition—even as a collectible, a museum exhibit, or a sentimental keepsake—is a matter of individual property rights, and economic assessments may only serve as non-binding guidance, not a constraint on ownership or repair choices.

Or. en

Justification

Articles 16 and 20 reference Article 23, implying producer/PRO obligations apply only to their collection systems. However, many treatment operators in Europe operate outside these systems. The draft proposal lacks a requirement for operators to join PROs, allowing treatment outside EPR take-back systems. Producers need precedence in waste management to ensure optimal treatment.

Article 28(2) provides that certain end-of-life vehicles may be shredded only after approval by the competent authority. We strictly reject the demand for a separate official approval of end-of-life vehicles that do not have a vehicle identification number (VIN) or proof of recycling; such a procedure would impact the smooth functioning of the entire end-of-life vehicle recycling process and represent an escalating bureaucratic hurdle for waste management companies in practice.

These refrigerants shall be recovered and reclaimed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/573 and, when technically and economically feasible, recycling and reincorporation should be prioritized.

Or. en

Justification

Refrigerants used in air-conditioning, heating and thermal management systems can be recovered, reclaimed and reused in new or existing equipment. Refrigerants are being extensively recovered across the EU, but more can be done to ensure that refrigerants are properly recovered and reclaimed at the end of life of a vehicle and reused to capture the benefit of their circularity potential. Recovery machines are broadly available and allow for basic cleaning processes. This allows the recovered refrigerant to be ready for recycling or reclaiming.

Air-conditioning system fluid can be recovered, recycled or reclaimed and reused in new or existing equipment and contribute to the circular economy. Recovery machines are broadly available and allow for basic cleaning processes and the recovery of refrigerants.

Mandatory removal of parts and components for reuse and recycling prior to shredding

Paragraph 1 shall not apply if an authorised treatment facility demonstrates, that post-shredder technologies separates materials from parts and components listed in Part C, entries 13 to19, of Annex VII, as efficiently as manual dismantling processes or semi-automated disassembly processes.

For the purposes of the first subparagraph, the authorised treatment facility shall provide the information listed in Part G of Annex VII.

In addition to the obligations set out in Article 35 of Directive 2008/98/EC, the authorised treatment facilities shall maintain records of the end-of-life vehicles that are processed without the prior removal of parts, components and materials in accordance with paragraph 2, including the name and address of the treatment facilities, and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the end-of-life vehicles concerned.

The authorised treatment facilities shall provide the information in the records referred to in the first subparagraph to the competent authority in accordance with Article 49(6).

Justification

the mandatory take-back requirements in Article 30 and Annex VII, Part C, is considered to be a disproportionate burden on waste management and shredders in view of the insufficiently secured end markets for dismantled end-of-life vehicle parts and components.

The proposed list is closely linked to achieving the aluminium fractions suggested below for Annex VII – Part G (new part). In particular, 4) and 6) can remain in the car if proper sorting of the scrap is achieved by sorting the aluminium scrap into 4 families, as proposed.

Requirements concerning the removed parts and components

All parts and components that have been removed from an end-of-life vehicle pursuant to Article 30(1), shall be assessed to determine whether they are fit for:

(a) reuse, in accordance with Part D, point 1(a), of Annex VII;

(b) remanufacturing or refurbishment, in accordance with Part D, point 1(b), of Annex VII;

(d) other treatment operations, taking into account the specific treatment requirements in Part F of Annex VII

The parts and components that are fit for reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment shall not be considered waste.

The assessment shall be carried out taking into account in particular technical feasibility of conducting the processes referred to in the first subparagraph and vehicle safety requirements.

Documentation confirming the conducted assessment shall be, upon request, made available to the relevant national authorities, including when the parts and components are transported for the purpose of reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment.

2. The removed parts and components fit for reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment shall be:

(a) labelled in compliance with Part D, point 2, of Annex VII;

(b) accompanied by a warranty, if the parts and components are transferred to or used by another person.

3. The parts and components listed in Part E of Annex VII shall not be reused.

Justification

It seems illogical to evaluate parts and components only after they have been removed. The decision as to whether a part or component is at all suitable for manual removal should first be based on the waste management companies' own technical assessment.

Or. en

Justification

The amendments on Article 31 protect vehicle owners' right to repair, restore, and reuse parts without unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles. The original wording imposes administrative burdens and potential restrictions on legitimate reuse, harming classic car preservation and the circular economy. By prioritizing reuse and repair over disposal, the amendment ensures that environmental goals are met without limiting individual ownership rights or increasing costs for vehicle maintenance and restoration.

Amendment

Documentation confirming the conducted assessment shall be, upon request, made available to the relevant national authorities, including when the cores are transported for the purpose of reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment.

Or. en

Justification

The proposal requires authorized treatment facilities to assess whether cores from end-of-life vehicles meet the criteria outlined in Annex VII, Part D, before they are classified as non-waste. To ensure legal certainty for remanufacturing, all cores, including those from used vehicles, should not be considered waste by default.

Article 32

Trade of used, remanufactured or refurbished parts and components

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] any person trading used, remanufactured or refurbished spare parts and components shall, at the point of sale:

(a) ensure that parts and components are labelled in compliance with Part D, point 2, of Annex VII;

(b) provide a warranty for the used, remanufactured or refurbished parts and components.

Or. en

Justification

It remains unclear who buys all of these reusable, reprocessable and refurbished, marked and stored parts and components from the waste management companies. Realistically, we assume that there will not be much demand for all parts which have to be mandatory removed according to Article 30 and 31. In addition, it should not be forgotten that the average age of a vehicle is around 17 years before it becomes an end-of-life vehicle. It makes no sense to remove every reusable or repairable part from every vehicle, as there is no market for these quantities.
