Amendment 1425

Susana Solís Pérez

Proposal for a regulation

Article 34 – paragraph 1 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

1a. The Commission shall, by ... [OP: please enter the date = the last day of the month following 12 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation], adopt a delegated act establishing the targets for battery electric vehicles.

Or. en

Justification

In the case of electric vehicles, the traction battery constitutes a substantial portion of the total weight. Therefore, it is essential to set differentiated targets to account for this impact.

Amendment 1432

Anne-Sophie Frigout

Proposal for a regulation

Article 34 – paragraph 2 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

2a. In order to meet the new, more ambitious, recycled content targets, all relevant authorities should promote and support investments in industrial R&D to explore innovative recycling technologies, such as chemical recycling, to supplement existing mechanical recycling processes in the processing of materials from end-of-life vehicles.

Or. fr

Justification

Chemical recycling (or pyrolysis recycling) provides sophisticated and sustainable solutions for processing complex materials, such as mixed automotive plastics, which need to meet stringent safety, heat resistance and quality standards. This process is a new opportunity for the sector to industrialise and would supplement the industrial capabilities of mechanical recycling, which are starting to fall short in view of the latest recycling requirements.

Article 34 – paragraph 2 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

2a. From ... [OP: please insert a date = the first day of the calendar year following 18 months after the date of entry into force of the Regulation] Member States shall ensure that at least 50 % of air-conditioning system fluids contained in the vehicles delivered to the waste management operators is reclaimed.

Or. en

Justification

In order to ensure the adequate availability of recycled refrigerant to meet the 2030 and 2035 targets, a harmonised EU recycling rate of refrigerants in vehicles should be established.

1. Treatment of end-of-life vehicles may be undertaken outside the Union, provided that the shipment of end-of-life vehicles is in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1157.

Or. en

Justification

Compliance with the EU Waste Shipment Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 is essential to protecting human health, the environment, and European industry. Waste exports should only occur when recipient countries meet equivalent European standards and ensure efficient material recovery. This prevents environmental harm, enforces higher global waste management standards, and safeguards the competitiveness of European industries.

Chapter V – Section 1

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

Section 1

Status of used vehicles

deleted

Article 37

Distinction between used vehicles and end-of-life vehicles

For the purpose of transferring ownership of a used vehicle, the vehicle owner shall be able to demonstrate to any natural or legal person interested in acquiring ownership of the concerned vehicle or to the competent authorities that the vehicle is not an end-of-life vehicle. When assessing the status of a used vehicle, the vehicle owner, other economic operators and competent authorities shall verify if the criteria laid down in Annex I are met in order to determine whether it is not an end-of-life vehicle.

Or. en

Justification

This deletion amendment reduces bureaucratic burdens, streamlines vehicle transactions, and avoids redundant regulations. Existing roadworthiness and inspection laws already ensure vehicle safety, making additional verification unnecessary. Buyers can assess vehicle conditions independently through inspections and history reports. Eliminating this requirement protects property rights, supports market efficiency, and prevents excessive regulatory oversight in private sales.

Amendment

Article 37

deleted

Distinction between used vehicles and end-of-life vehicles

Or. en

Justification

For the purpose of preventing the export of end-of-life vehicles from the EU as well as avoiding the illegal disposal of end-of-life vehicles, no regulation is needed that restricts the sale of used vehicles or parts within the EU. The reference to the annex as a distinction between used and end-of-life vehicles goes too far and poses the risk that repairable vehicles or vehicles intended to be used as parts suppliers could be classified as end-of-life vehicles and thus must necessarily be scrapped. Trade within the EU with such vehicles or their parts would be significantly hindered, which also poses the risk that the actual residual values of vehicles can no longer be realized. This constitutes an unjustified infringement on consumers' property rights.

Amendment 1453

Ivars Ijabs, Svenja Hahn

Proposal for a regulation

Article 37 – paragraph 1

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

The first subparagraph shall not apply when ownership of roadworthy vehicles is transferred by natural persons who are not economic operators, for sales other than those concluded by means of distance contracts or online platforms.

Or. en

Justification

In the current version of Article 37(1) wording provides the possibility of carrying out a change of ownership procedure for a used vehicle only if the vehicle has a valid roadworthiness certificate (RC) or for a vehicle that does not have a valid RT but has undergone an assessment in accordance with Annex I to the proposal. An exception is provided that the above requirement does not apply to the procedure for the change of ownership carried out by natural persons at the premises of the relevant vehicle registration authority in person.

Amendment

For the purpose of transferring ownership of a used vehicle, the vehicle owner shall be able to demonstrate to any natural or legal person interested in acquiring ownership of the concerned vehicle, at the request of the potential buyer, that the vehicle is not an end-of-life vehicle. Proof may be provided by means of a valid roadworthiness inspection certificate. In the absence of a valid roadworthiness inspection certificate, proof may be provided by means of an assessment carried out on the basis of the criteria set out in Annex I. These conditions shall not apply for transfers of ownership of roadworthy vehicles between natural persons.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 37 – paragraph 1

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

A vehicle may only be classified as an ELV if it is abandoned, irreparably damaged, or presents a clear and demonstrable risk to public safety or the environment. The criteria in Annex I shall serve only as indicative guidelines and shall not automatically classify a vehicle as an ELV without the owner’s consent, unless otherwise determined by a legally binding decision of national authorities.

Or. en

Justification

The amendments on Article 37 protect ownership rights and prevent forced scrapping. A vehicle should only be an ELV if abandoned, irreparably damaged, or a proven safety or environmental risk. Annex I criteria must be indicative, not binding, and owners should not need extra documentation unless clear evidence suggests ELV status. A missing roadworthiness certificate must not justify ELV classification. These changes ensure fair rules, avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy and protecting vehicle owners’ rights.

For the purpose of transferring holdership or ownership of a used vehicle, the vehicle owner shall be able to demonstrate to any natural or legal person interested in acquiring ownership of the concerned vehicle or to the competent authorities that the vehicle is not an end-of-life vehicle. When assessing the status of a used vehicle, the vehicle owner, other economic operators and competent authorities shall verify if the criteria laid down in Annex I are met in order to determine whether it is not an end-of-life vehicle.

Or. en

Justification

The German registration system designates the vehicle owner as the person responsible for the vehicle in road traffic. Owners are neither registered nor checked. Regulations must therefore address both the owner and the holder.

Automated assessments or administrative presumptions shall not determine ELV status.

Or. en

Justification

The amendments on Article 38 ensure that used vehicles can be exported freely unless formally classified as ELVs through a legal decision.

(ba) roadworthiness is considered proven for purposes of this article, if the document referred to in Article 5(1) of Directive 2014/45/EU was valid on the day of the used vehicle deregistration in the Union, provided it was not registered again before export from the Union.

Or. en

Justification

Requiring a valid technical inspection certificate for used vehicle exports adds unnecessary costs and bureaucracy, especially for commercial vehicles in stock. A well-maintained vehicle does not lose roadworthiness simply by being idle, making reinspection before export redundant—especially since another test occurs in the destination country. The certificate should remain valid if current at EU deregistration, with reinspection only required if the vehicle is re-registered within the EU.

Many vehicles, especially commercial ones can stay on stock over a considerable period, so that their certificate runs out. Yet there is no reason to believe a robust commercial vehicle will become not roadworthy, while staying on stock. Going through an additional technical inspection just for export, while the vehicle will face another test at the destination country, means extra administrative and financial burden, especially for commercial vehicles, with no benefits for neither vehicle circularity, nor the environment. Thus, for the purpose of used vehicle export, the technical inspection certificate should be considered valid, if it was valid on the day of the vehicle deregistration in the EU. This way, even if formally the certificate has run out, there will be no need for a new inspection under condition the vehicle goes for export and is not registered in the EU again.

Amendment

3a. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, the non-commercial export of vehicles of special cultural interest as defined in Annex I Part C shall be allowed subject to due justification by the seller and approval by the competent authority in accordance with national law and practice.

Or. en

Justification

Many vehicles of special cultural interest or subject to repair or restoration would not fulfil the requirement of ‘roadworthiness’ necessary for export. There is nonetheless an interest in maintaining the possibility of export under certain conditions as the exchange of vehicles and vehicle parts between countries plays an important role in maintaining the cultural heritage of Europe and the world. For vehicles of cultural interest, it is reasonable to ensure a level of control, similar to existing laws on export of objects of cultural value.

Amendments to Council Directive 1999/37/EC on the registration documents for vehicles

(1) In Article 2, the following point is added:

‘(g) “Temporary deregistration”: shall mean the suspension of the registration, based on a request (not ex officio) of the vehicle holder or owner of a vehicle, or both, during which the vehicle is temporarily not permitted to be used in road traffic.’

(2) The following articles are inserted:

‘Article 5a

Temporary deregistration

During temporary deregistration, the owner of a vehicle is required to report changes in ownership to the registration authority. A temporary deregistration shall not be converted into a permanent cancellation of the registration without proof by one of the reasons referred to in Article 5b. Owners shall be fined if they cannot demonstrate the whereabouts of a temporary deregistered vehicle. Member States shall charge the owner of a vehicle with a monthly administrative fee to recover the related administrative effort to follow the whereabouts of a vehicle for the entire duration of the temporary deregistration. The use on private ground shall not be a reason for permanent cancellation of the registration but it shall fall under temporary deregistration.

Article 5b

Conclusive list of reasons for permanent cancellation of the registration

Member States shall apply the following conclusive list of reasons for permanent cancellation of the registration:

(i) Certificate of destruction is submitted to the national vehicle register;

(ii) A police report demonstrating that the vehicle is stolen and missing is submitted to the national vehicle register;

(iii) Documents demonstrating that the vehicle is exported are submitted to the national vehicle register;

(iv) Exemptions upon specific request: e.g., a vintage vehicle is stored in a (private) kind of Museum: accompanying documents demonstrate the conditions where and how the vehicle is stored to be submitted to the registration authority in charge.’

Justification

Cars are technically irreparable also when they are cut only partially into pieces, when they are dismantled or when they are no longer used as a car. Any of these circumstances renders a car not-road-worthy. Adding these elements to the list brings the description closer to reality and avoids ‘missing cars’.

(e) one or several of the following components of the vehicle cannot be repaired or replaced:

(e) one or more of the following components have sustained damage that is structurally compromising and beyond feasible repair or replacement, rendering the vehicle permanently unfit for safe operation:

Or. en

Justification

The provisions listed under point (e) raise the threshold for classifying a vehicle as irreparable, ensuring that only severe, unrepairable structural damage qualifies—rather than routine wear or failures of replaceable components.

deleted

Or. en

Justification

The economic irreparability criteria laid down in this Article is not justified and socially unfair, as there is no reason to consider the market value of a vehicle as an indicator of its reparability. This measure would mean that more vehicles than necessary are being prematurely disposed, creating more waste, and it would have negative social impacts, e.g. on low-income households who can afford to pay for a reparation, but not for a new vehicle.

Or. en

Justification

See justification to AM 30. It should be up to vehicle owners to decide whether to repair and maintain their vehicles rather than dispose of them, especially given the rising prices of new vehicles.

(f) its brakes and steering components are excessively worn.

If one of those conditions is met, an individual technical assessment shall be carried out in order to assess if the technical status of a vehicle would be sufficient to obtain a roadworthiness certificate in the Member State where the vehicle was registered before repair.

Justification

The indicative criteria for distinguishing used from end-of-life vehicles are too broad, risking unjustified classifications. This could lead to high costs for vehicle owners, especially low-income households, who may need technical assessments to prove their vehicle is not waste.

Justification

Europe has a long tradition of vehicle restoration, repair and modification. It is an expression of European cultural automotive heritage and craftsmanship. To many individuals, vehicle restoration is a valued part of their life. As long as vehicles are kept and handled appropriately this does not cause any harm to humans or the environment and should not be discouraged. It is therefore important to ensure that where an owner intends to repair, renovate or modify a vehicle, or purchase a vehicle with the intent to use it for spare parts, the vehicle is not treated as end-of-life.
