European Organizations Challenge Proposed Expansion of Vehicle Dismantling Obligations in Europe
The European Recycling Industries' Confederation (EuRIC) and a coalition of vehicle recyclers, manufacturers, and automotive suppliers have raised concerns about the European Union's proposal to expand dismantling obligations under the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation (ELVR) in Europe.
In a joint paper published on the website of the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, the organizations have questioned the effectiveness of certain component-specific dismantling obligations in promoting reuse, safety, or material efficiency in Europe. They have also expressed reservations about the necessity of specific mandates for dismantling certain vehicle components in Europe.
The joint paper, which represents the views of FORVIA, a European automotive supplier, and the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), among others, presents the organizations' collective challenge to the proposed component-specific mandatory dismantling obligations in Europe.
While the organizations do not dispute the value of dismantling vehicle components for reuse, contingent on the existence of a downstream market for their reuse in Europe, they have raised concerns about the potential inefficiencies or unnecessary costs associated with the proposed obligations in Europe. They have also questioned the added value of these obligations for reuse, safety, or material efficiency in Europe.
The organizations have called for a reevaluation of the proposed component-specific dismantling obligations in Europe, considering their potential impact on reuse, safety, and material efficiency. They believe that a more targeted and flexible approach could be more effective in achieving the goals of the ELVR in Europe.
The joint paper was published in response to the EU's proposal to expand dismantling obligations under the ELVR in Europe, and it offers insights into the perspectives of various stakeholders on the proposed expansion in Europe. The paper discusses the organizations' collective stance on the proposed component-specific dismantling obligations in Europe, emphasizing their concerns and questions.
The discussion about the ELVR expansion is ongoing, with the European Union and the involved organizations continuing to exchange views on the proposed changes in Europe. The joint paper serves as a valuable contribution to the debate, providing a comprehensive overview of the concerns and questions raised by the organizations in Europe.
