| (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. | (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, with scrupulous regard for the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, and any additional financial or administrative burden for individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises and national end-of-life management and repair structures kept to an absolute minimum. |
| 44 Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, amending Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 and repealing Directive 2007/46/EC (OJ L 151 14.6.2018, p. 1). | 44 Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, amending Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 and repealing Directive 2007/46/EC (OJ L 151 14.6.2018, p. 1). |
The regulation must not lead to disproportionate costs for consumers, garages, small enterprises or national end-of-life management structures. National systems must be respected and additional red tape avoided.
Circularity requirements for vehicle design and management of end-of-life vehicles, amending Regulations (EU) 2018/858 and 2019/1020 and repealing Directives 2000/53/EC and 2005/64/EC
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (1a) This Regulation shall apply to the vehicle categories specified in Annex I from the date of application. It shall exclude vehicles of historical interest and those kept for restoration, collection, museum or cultural purposes, as well as spare parts, assemblies and components intended for the preservation, repair or restoration of such vehicles. Simplified certification and reporting obligations and appropriate transition periods shall apply to micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises and small volume manufacturers. |
Historical vehicles and restoration companies belong to Europe’s cultural heritage and should not inadvertently fall under waste or circularity requirements. SMEs and small volume manufacturers need practical and proportionate regulations.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| The plastic contained in each vehicle type that is type-approved as of [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 72 months after the date of entry into force of the Regulation] under Regulation (EU) 2018/858 shall contain a minimum of 25 % of plastic recycled by weight from post-consumer plastic waste. | The plastic contained in each vehicle type that is type-approved as of [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 72 months after the date of entry into force of the Regulation] under Regulation (EU) 2018/858 shall contain a minimum of 25 % of plastic recycled by weight from post-consumer plastic waste, provided that the Commission, over a period not exceeding three years, has demonstrated in an independent impact assessment that recyclates of suitable quality are available on the EU market in sufficient volume and at competitive prices and that the measure will not generate disproportionate additional costs for consumers or manufacturers, failing which, application of the quota shall be suspended. |
Rigid quotas without guaranteed market availability can push up vehicle prices, put strain on supply chains and undermine the competitiveness of European manufacturers. Climate goals must be paired with technical feasibility and business sense.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts, in accordance with Article 50, to supplement this Regulation by establishing a minimum share of steel recycled from post-consumer steel waste to be present and incorporated into vehicle types to be type-approved in accordance with this Regulation and Regulation (EU) 2018/858. | The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 50 supplementing this Regulation solely for the purpose of adapting non-essential technical requirements. Essential requirements, in particular new or higher binding quotas, changes to the scope, or obligations with considerable financial repercussions for manufacturers, consumers or Member States, may only be established via the ordinary legislative procedure. Each delegated act must be rooted in a risk assessment. |
Politically significant decisions must not be taken in circumvention of the parliamentary legislative process. Quotas, questions of scope and cost-relevant obligations in particular must be subject to democratic oversight.

|---|---|
| 1. For each vehicle type that is type-approved under Regulation (EU) 2018/858 as of [OP: Please insert the date = the first day of the month following 36 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation], the manufacturer shall draw up a circularity strategy. | 1. The manufacturer shall submit the data required to meet circularity and recyclate requirements once per year, in application of the once-only principle, via the relevant national authorities. Dual or parallel reporting obligations shall be out of the question. The Commission and Member States shall optimise existing reporting systems and make sure that small and medium-sized enterprises in particular do not face a disproportionate burden. |
