- Circularity requirements for vehicle design and management of end-of-life vehicles
The European Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law setting circularity requirements for vehicle design and managing end-of-life vehicles. The law aims to support the automotive sector's shift to a circular economy by promoting recycled materials and improving how vehicles are scrapped. Parliament's position includes amendments to clarify rules, cut red tape, and align with other EU laws, while keeping targets realistic for industry. The position now goes to the Council for negotiation before the law can be finalized.
