Recital 6

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(6) Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council44 introduced a comprehensive type-approval and market surveillance system for motor vehicles, trailers, and for systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles with a view to ensuring the proper functioning of the single market and in order to offer a high level of environmental performance. There is a need for a separate regulatory act for the purposes of the EU type-approval procedure laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/858. It is necessary to lay down provisions and requirements on the circularity of vehicles in the process of EU type approval. To ensure the compliance of vehicles with those requirements it is necessary to ensure their verification in the EU type-approval process. The administrative provisions of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, including the provisions on market surveillance, corrective measures and penalties, apply to type approvals issued this Regulation. The administrative provisions of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, including the provisions on market surveillance, corrective measures and penalties, apply to type approvals issued in compliance with the requirements of this Regulation.

Amendment 2

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 8

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(8) Directives 2000/53/EC and 2005/64/EC apply only to passenger vehicles (M1) and light commercial vehicles (N1), which constitute approximately 85% of all vehicles registered in the Union. The remaining vehicles, namely two- and three- wheel vehicles, lorries, busses and trailers, are not subject to any Union legislation concerning their eco-design and management at their end-of-life stages. Therefore, in order to ensure a circular framework for all vehicles registered in the Union, including their environmentally sound treatment, as well as to prevent fragmentation of the single market, this Regulation should apply not only to vehicles of categories M1 and N1, but, partially, also to certain L-category vehicles (L3e-L7e), heavy-duty vehicles and their trailers (M2, M3, N2, N3, O). There is a lack of comprehensive information regarding the treatment of such vehicles at their end-of-life in the Union, which prevents from applying to them the same regime as the one applying to M1 and N1 vehicles upon entry into force of this Regulation. However, the requirements regarding the collection of end-of-life vehicles, their mandatory delivery to authorised treatment facilities for treatment as well as their depollution should apply to L-category vehicles (L3e-L7e) and heavy-duty vehicles and their trailers (M2, M3, N2, N3, O). To facilitate treatment of these end-of-life vehicles, their manufacturers should be required to provide information on the removal and replacement of parts, components and materials from such vehicles. Also, the provisions governing the extended producer responsibility should apply to these vehicle categories, covering the costs of their collection and depollution at their end-of-life.

Amendment 3

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 8 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(8a) Vehicles of categories L1e and L2e are not uniformly subject to administrative registration under Directive 1999/37/EC across Member States, despite being type-approved under Regulation (EU) No 168/2013. That regulatory inconsistency risks creating fragmented national approaches, imposing disproportionate burdens on manufacturers and undermining the competitiveness of the industry. To ensure regulatory coherence and harmonisation, this Regulation establishes that, where those vehicles are not subject to administrative registration, an alternative system for recording their identification, including at the point of placing on the market, during use, or at end-of-life, should be implemented. That approach prevents disparities in the treatment of similar vehicles, and aligns obligations across all L-category vehicles, thereby fostering a consistent framework for the purpose of compliance with this Regulation.

Amendment 4

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 10

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(10) Special purpose vehicles are designed to perform a specific function and require special bodywork arrangements which are not entirely under the control of the manufacturer. Consequently, the reusability, recyclability and recoverability rates cannot be calculated properly. For those vehicles only the provisions concerning the collection, depollution and mandatory removal for parts and components should apply. Costs of conducting these activities should be covered by producers within the extended producer responsibility scheme. Provisions concerning substances in vehicles should also apply to special-purpose vehicles, as it is under Directive 2000/53/EC. The second stage manufacturer of vehicles that have been type-approved in multi-stage type-approval is not in a position to calculate the reusability, recyclability and recoverability rates for completed vehicles. It is therefore appropriate to require only the base vehicle to comply with this Regulation.

It is therefore appropriate to require only the base vehicle to comply with this Regulation. As a consequence, the bodywork of multistage vehicles that is not included in the base vehicle should not be included in the scope of the extended producer responsibility.

Recital 11

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(11) One of the biggest practical challenges related to the application of Directive 2000/53/EC concerns the determination whether or not a vehicle has become an end-of-life vehicle, in particular in cases of transboundary shipments of vehicles. Despite the issuance of guidance46 on this issue, such assessment remains problematic. It is therefore necessary to provide legally-binding precise criteria allowing to determine an end-of-life vehicle. Those criteria should be used by all economic operators and vehicle owners dealing with end-of-life vehicles.

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 13

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(13) Addressing the design of all vehicles placed on the Union market as well as their end-of-life stage requires the setting up of harmonised circularity requirements verified at the type-approval stage. Designing and manufacturing vehicles to ensure that their parts and components are reusable, and the materials that they contain are recyclable, is essential to avoid that these parts, components and materials cannot be properly valorised when a vehicle reaches the end of its life. Therefore, vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers should integrate design strategies that improve reusability and recyclability at an early stage in the development of new vehicles. Accordingly, new vehicle types should continue to be constructed so as to be reusable or recyclable to a minimum of 85 % by mass and reusable or recoverable to a minimum of 95 % by mass, as already foreseen in Directive 2005/64/EC. In order to ensure that the calculation of the reusability, recyclability and recoverability rates is done in a uniform manner and can be monitored, a new methodology for calculation and verification of the rates of reusability, recyclability and recoverability of a vehicle should be established. This methodology should better reflect the actual potential of a new vehicle to be recycled, reused and recovered at the end-of-life, while taking into account the ongoing technological progress. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to establish such methodology. Until such methodology is established, the rates of reusability, recyclability and recoverability should continue to be calculated in accordance with the standard ISO 22628:2002, as in Directive 2005/64/EC.

Recital 14

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(14) Vehicles should be designed and manufactured in a way as to limit the presence of substances of concern. In its Communication of 14 October 2020 on ‘Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability – Towards a Toxic-Free Environment’ (the ‘Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability’)47 , the Commission stated that substances of concern are to be minimised and substituted as far as possible, phasing out the most harmful ones for non-essential societal use, in particular in consumer products. Accordingly, substances of concern as constituents of materials used in vehicles or of any of the parts or components of vehicles should be minimised as far as possible to ensure that vehicles, as well as materials recycled from vehicles, do not have an adverse effect on human health or the environment, throughout their life-cycle.

(14) Vehicles should be designed and manufactured in a way as to limit the presence of substances of concern where their use would pose an unacceptable risk. Substances of concern as constituents of materials used in vehicles or of any of the parts or components of vehicles should be minimised as far as possible to ensure that vehicles, as well as materials recycled from vehicles, do not have an adverse effect on human health or the environment, throughout their life-cycle. To that end, the Commission, assisted by the European Chemicals Agency, should set up a list of substances of concern applicable specifically to vehicles.

Or. en

Justification

Metals or compounds may qualify as SoC due to their hazard profile but are not necessarily harmful and can be safely recycled. Only when a hazardous substance poses an unacceptable, unmanageable risk should its use be minimized. Exemptions should apply if consumer use is safe; otherwise, they should be denied.

(15) Directive 2000/53/EC already restricts the use of lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in vehicles and provides exemptions, where such substances may be used in certain applications. This Regulation should take over these existing rules. However, in order to ensure the coherence of legislation on chemicals, restrictions regarding placing on the market and use of other substances in vehicles should be addressed under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council48 . Similarly, restrictions on the use of substances regulated in Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council49 , should be introduced based on provisions of that Regulation. Therefore, this Regulation should not provide the possibility to restrict any other substance than lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in vehicles.

(19) In view of the low recycling rate for plastics, especially from end-of-life vehicles, and the overall negative impacts of other forms of treatment of plastic waste, it is appropriate to increase the uptake of recycled plastics in vehicles. To this end, a mandatory target for plastic recycled from post-consumer waste should be included in new vehicles. Accordingly, each vehicle type should contain twenty-five percent of plastic recycled from post-consumer plastic waste. Twenty-five percent of this recycled content target for plastics should be achieved by including plastics recycled from end-of-life vehicles in the vehicle type concerned. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation this obligation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to establish methodology for the calculation and verification of the share of plastics recovered from post-consumer waste, and from end-of-life vehicles respectively, present in and incorporated into the vehicle type.

(42) As vehicles often become end-of-life vehicles in a different Member State than in the Member State where they were registered for the first time, it is necessary to introduce rules on cross-border extended producer responsibility. These rules should ensure that the responsibility of the producer properly covers the collection and treatment costs incurred by the waste management operators in the Member State where the vehicle becomes an end-of-life vehicle. To this end, producer should appoint a representative for the extended producer responsibility in each Member State and set up mechanisms for cross-border cooperation with relevant waste management operators. Introducing such a mechanism contributes to creating a level playing field between the authorised treatment facilities across the Union and facilitates the development of Union wide approaches in case of individual producer responsibility.

It should therefore be clarified that parts and components removed from an end-of-life vehicle, which are suitable for reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment, should not be considered waste. This is necessary to facilitate the shipment, transportation or any other transfer of such parts and components. The relevant national authorities should be in position to request documentation, from the authorised treatment facility that removed the part or component concerned, that confirms, via a dedicated assessment, the technical suitability of the relevant parts and components for remanufacturing, refurbishment or reuse.

Justification

Currently the proposal requires authorised treatment facilities to carry out a technical assessment of the suitability of the relevant cores for remanufacturing, renewal, or reuse from end-of-life vehicles based on three criteria laid down in Annex VII Part D. Only with a positive technical assessment, these cores will not be considered waste. For legal certainty in the remanufacturing business, it is however crucial that all cores, also those from used vehicles, will be not considered waste.

Each year, the inspections should cover at least 10 % of authorised treatment facilities and operators. Sites of repair and maintenance operators should also be subjected to inspection. It needs to be underlined, that inspections carried out under this Regulation should be complementary to inspections on the shipment of end-of-life vehicles, which are comprehensively regulated in Regulation [OP: new Waste Shipment Regulation].

Amendment 40

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 86

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(86) Missing vehicles have been recognised as one of the major implementation challenges of Directive 2000/53/EC. The absence of an efficient system allowing for real time exchange of information between Member States on the registration status of vehicles hinders traceability and has been identified as a reason for the high number of “missing vehicles” in the Union. To address this, the Commission should propose a revision of Council Directive 1999/37/EC on the registration documents for vehicles67 . This revision should require Member States to record electronically, for vehicles registered on their territory, data allowing to properly document the reasons for the cancellation of a registration of a vehicle, especially if a vehicle has been treated as end-of-life vehicles in an authorised treatment facility, re-registered in another Member State, exported to a third country outside the Union, or stolen. Moreover, to prevent the illegal dismantling or export of vehicles that have been temporarily de-registered, the vehicle owners should be obliged to promptly report any changes in their ownership to the national vehicle registration authority. These amendments complement and build on the existing requirements for Member States to electronically record data on all vehicles registered on their territory.

Recital 88

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(88) The report from the Commission should also include an assessment of the measures concerning provision of information on substances of concern present in vehicles and whether the traceability of such substances need to be improved. It should also assess whether there is a need to introduce measures addressing the substances that may affect the treatment of vehicles when they reach end-of-life stage, in order to align it more closely with Regulation (EU) 2024/1781. The Commission should conduct an impact assessment to evaluate the technical and economical feasibility of introducing targets on air conditioning, fluids and gases contained as an initial fill by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in each vehicle type falling within the scope of this Regulation.

Or. en

Justification

The proposed criteria are very generic and might lead to a limiting availability of cores for remanufacturing if implemented too strictly.

The Commission shall, by [OP: please enter the date = the last day of the month following 35 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation], adopt an implementing act establishing a methodology for calculation and verification of the rates of reusability, recyclability and recoverability of a vehicle, taking into account the elements set out in Annex II and the guidelines outlined in the United Nations Regulation No. 133 on uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability, recyclability and recoverability in relation to standard ISO 22628:2002. If necessary, the Commission shall endeavour to ensure that the relevant UN methodology is updated accordingly to prevent conflict with Union methodology.

1. The presence of substances of concern in vehicles and in their parts and components shall be minimised as far as possible, where they pose an unacceptable risk on human health or the environment.

Or. en

Justification

The definition of “Substance of Concern” (SoC) is linked to a legislation for which vehicles are not included in the scope (motor vehicles are out of scope of the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation). There is therefore a mismatch in terms of applicability.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

Subparagraph 1 shall not apply to components made from recycled materials nor to remanufactured parts and components.

Or. en

Justification

The exemption for components made from recycled materials, automotive components require thousands of chemicals and substances to meet high standards of quality and performance. However, Regulations may change, and certain substances may become restricted, but they will still be present in recycled materials. This creates a challenge for remanufacturers and recyclers, who may not have complete visibility of the materials' composition and cannot easily remove these substances.

1. Authorised treatment facilities shall issue a certificate of destruction for every treated end-of-life vehicle to the last owner of the end-of-life vehicle. The certificate of destruction shall contain the information listed in Annex IX. The received ELV shall be destroyed within 18 months from the issuance of the Certificate of Destruction with a related registration of the destruction.

Or. en

Justification

The Certificate of Destruction in electronic format released by ATFs is the easiest way to assure the communication between Member States and prevent cases where the CoD from the MS where it was issued is different from the one in the Member State where the vehicle is registered. It is important, in order to avoid losses of parts and components that could be sent and sold to the black market, to fix a timeframe in which the vehicle must be destroyed after the release of the CoD.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(c) remove the parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VII from the end-of-life vehicle, prior to shredding shredding or compacting by means of manual dismantling or (semi-) automated disassembly in a non-destructive way for components with a reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment potential;

(c) remove the parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VII from the end-of-life vehicle provided that there is a market potential for reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment for them, prior to shredding shredding or compacting by means of manual dismantling or (semi-) automated disassembly in a non-destructive way for components with a reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment potential;

Or. en

Justification

The removal of certain ELV parts shall only be mandatory if the condition of the vehicle technically permits it and the removal is economically justifiable, which depends from the market for reuse of the related parts. Otherwise, the obligations would result in unjustified costs for the removal prior to post-shredding and storage of the parts not sold because no market exists.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Co-Rapporteurs welcome the commission proposal aiming to support the transition of the automotive sector to a circular economy by establishing requirements for vehicle design, promoting the use of recycled materials, improving end-of-life vehicle management. The rapporteurs also support the harmonisation of the relevant type-approval conditions thus ensuring the level playing field for manufacturers and other economic operators by creating uniform requirements for placing vehicles on the EU market.

The proposed amendments aim to improve the clarity and consistency of the proposal, remove unnecessary administrative burden for economic operators while maintaining achievable ambition and improving harmonisation objectives. The proposal also seeks to address issues with the export of used vehicles and to create a more harmonised and efficient single market for vehicles.

The Co-Rapporteurs consider that it is essential to ensure that the revision aligns with the EU’s objectives for a circular economy, environmental sustainability, resource efficiency and contributes to the sector competitiveness. A key priority is to ensure that the valuable raw materials contained in end-of-life vehicles, such as steel, aluminium, copper, and plastics, are retained and recycled within Europe. Tackling the issue of "missed vehicles"—those that are not properly deregistered or processed through authorized recycling systems—is critical in achieving this goal and preventing resource leakage or environmental harm.

The Co-Rapporteurs emphasize that establishing clear targets provides the automotive industry with much needed clarity and guidance towards circularity, helps to reduce dependencies on raw material and lower the automotive sector carbon footprint. However, the Co-Rapporteurs caution against setting overly ambitious targets that the industry struggles to meet due to material shortages or technological limitations.

To ensure that the targets are reasonable and realistic, the Co-Rapporteurs propose adapting them in accordance with what is feasible for the industry. As a result, the Co-Rapporteurs propose that vehicle should contain 20% of plastic recycled content from both, pre-consumer and post-consumer plastic waste, including bio-based plastic. 15% of this recycled content target for plastics should be achieved by including plastics recycled from end-of-life vehicles. The methodology for calculating the recycled plastic content target should consider the best available recycling technology. The report stresses that the feasibility of the plastic targets should be reviewed according to an impact assessment based on technology, availability and quality of recycled plastic.

Simplification and clarity are crucial to reducing administrative burden while maintaining high environmental and sustainability standards. The changes made by the Co-Rapporteurs aim to streamline the regulatory framework without compromising its effectiveness. Therefore, unnecessary reporting obligations, such as the circularity strategy for each vehicle type, shall be limited to reasonable requirements.

Additionally the Co-Rapporteurs propose better alignment with other legislation such as Critical Raw Materials Regulation, ESPR or Batteries Regulation. It also suggests removing some excessive requirements potentially creating an unnecessary burden for companies and authorities.

The Co-Rapporteurs support the implementation of clear and harmonized rules, which will provide stakeholders with the certainty needed to apply the rules effectively. In this context, alignment with relevant UN regulations is vital to ensure a coherent global approach and to facilitate cross-border trade and compliance.

Furthermore, the Co-Rapporteurs underscores the importance of ensuring the high quality of recycled materials, particularly steel, aluminium, and copper scrap. However, this must be achieved by reducing the target for the close loop or by not imposing excessive regulations on recyclers, as overly prescriptive rules could hinder innovation and efficiency in recycling processes:

The Co-Rapporteurs also emphasize that parts and components should only be removed from end-of-life vehicles when a viable market for their recycling, reuse, or refurbishment exists. This approach ensures that dismantling efforts are focused on areas with real environmental and economic benefits, avoiding unnecessary interventions that do not support circular economy goals.

The Co-Rapporteurs strengthened the harmonization objectives, particularly regarding conditions for export. While the rapporteurs support the notion that end-of-life vehicles should not be exported to third countries, they also emphasize that roadworthiness criteria should be aligned among the Member States. It was also necessary to clarify that the commerce of used vehicles within the EU should not be further complicated.
