The European Commission is consulting on potential measures to improve the implementation of aspects of the Directive on End-of Life Vehicles (ELVs; 2000/53/EC). The consultation is focused on six areas: intra-EU trade – keeping track of vehicles within the EU; extra-EU trade – methods to achieve more complete reporting on extra-EU export and ways to distinguish between exporting ELVs and used vehicles; enforcement techniques – to reduce illegal dismantling of ELVs at dealers and repair shops, and actions to improve ATF compliance; public awareness and incentives – for ELV tracking and environmental risks; data quality – aspects to improve coverage and data quality when reporting on ELVs (possible revision of commission decision 2005/293/EC); and persistent organic pollutants and ELVs.
The consultation closes on 29 September 2016.
