| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 5. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, point (a), the following provisions shall apply to special purpose vehicles: | 5. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, point (a), the following provisions shall apply to special purpose vehicles, with the exception of those defined in Article 3, point (31), of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, which have been produced by small-volume manufacturers as defined in Article 3, point (48), of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257, and motor caravans and trailer caravans as defined in points 5.1 and 5.6 of Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2018/858. |
Legal clarification consistent with the scope and definitions of the joint committee report, explicitly affirming the exemption applicable to special purpose vehicles manufactured by small-volume producers.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 6. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, points (b) and (c), Articles 16, 19, 20, 27 and 46 to 49 shall apply to vehicles and end-of-life vehicles of categories L3, L4, L5, L6 L7, M2, M3, N2, N3 and O with the following modifications: | 6. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, points (b) and (c), and paragraph 2 point (b), Articles 16, 19, 20, 27 and 46 to 49 shall apply to vehicles and end-of-life vehicles of categories L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, M2, M3, N2, N3 and O, and to other parts of a vehicle of category N1, N2, N3, M2 or M3 which have not been approved in a single-stage type approval for the base vehicle, with the following modifications: |
The Regulation excludes multi-stage vehicle bodywork from its scope, but no rules exist for dismantling, depollution, or treatment at Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs). This creates uncertainty over producer responsibility and costs, as liability currently rests with the base vehicle producer. Clearly assigning responsibility for bodywork management would prevent disputes and support effective Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Including bodywork in the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation would also provide legal clarity for manufacturers while ensuring alignment with sector-specific requirements.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (15) ‘authorised treatment facility’ means any establishment or undertaking that is permitted in accordance with Directive 2008/98/EC and this Regulation to carry out collection and treatment of end-of-life vehicles; | (15) ‘authorised treatment facility’ means any establishment or undertaking that is permitted in accordance with Directive 2008/98/EC and this Regulation to carry out the collection and storage of end-of-life vehicles or of their parts and components, the issuance of the certificate of destruction, the depollution of end-of-life vehicles, and the removal of parts and components and parts, where technically feasible and economically sustainable; |
This amendment protects the end-of-life vehicle (ELV) treatment supply chain by clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of operators, particularly distinguishing dismantlers from shredders. It emphasises the dismantler’s unique role, requiring strict compliance with regulations to safeguard safety, environmental protection, and legal standards. A more precise definition of authorised treatment facilities will ensure clarity, efficient operation, and high levels of safety and sustainability.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (22) ‘producer’ means any manufacturer, importer or distributor who, irrespective of the selling technique used, including by means of distance contracts as defined in Article 2, point (7), of Directive 2011/83/EU, supplies a vehicle for the first time for distribution or use, within a territory of a Member States on a professional basis; | (22) ‘producer’ means any manufacturer, importer or distributor who, irrespective of the selling technique used, including by means of distance contracts as defined in Article 2, point (7), of Directive 2011/83/EU, supplies a vehicle for the first time for distribution or use, within a territory of a Member State on a professional basis; |
Corrects a drafting error and reaffirms the Commission’s proposal text, clarifying the allocation of responsibilities for decoupling bodywork and for subsequent management (depollution, storage, etc.) within the Regulation.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 4 a. The manufacturer of the base vehicle shall collect pro-rata contributions from the manufacturers of later stages of the type approval. |
By incorporating bodywork into the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation (ELVR), potential legal conflicts over Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) allocation are minimised, and accountability for environmental responsibility is firmly established and upheld.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (b) establish cross-border cooperation mechanisms with the waste management operators carrying out waste management operations referred to in Article 20. | (b) establish cross-border cooperation mechanisms with the waste management operators carrying out waste management operations referred to in Article 20 or, where applicable, with another entity that will bear these costs, including appropriate arrangements for the effective transfer and settlement of the costs referred to in paragraph 1. |
This amendment ensures that cross-border cost coverage is secured in all cases, irrespective of whether the costs are incurred directly by waste management operators or by another entity responsible for them.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 6. Gear boxes; | deleted |
Since gearboxes are dismantled only when market demand exists, a mandatory removal requirement would create an unnecessary burden on vehicle dismantlers and operators.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 16. Heat exchangers; | deleted |
