End-of-life vehicles. ELV Directive  
1997/0194(COD) - 01/04/2005  

ACT : Commission Decision 2005/293(EC) laying down detailed rules on the monitoring of the reuse/recovery and reuse/recycling targets set out in Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on end-of-life vehicles.

CONTENT : under Directive 2000/53/EC, the Commission is required to establish detailed rules necessary to control compliance of Member States with the targets set out in the first subparagraph of Article 7(2) of that Directive. It is sufficient that the Member States show that at least the required targets are met. It is necessary to harmonise the characteristics and presentation of the calculation of the targets set out in the first subparagraph of Article 7(2), in order to make the data produced by Member States comparable.

Member States shall calculate the reuse/recovery and reuse/recycling targets on the basis of the reused, recycled and recovered materials from de-pollution, dismantling and (post)-shredding operations. Member States shall ensure that for materials entering further treatment, the actually achieved recovery is taken into account.

To that end, Member States shall complete tables set out in the Annex to this Decision together with an appropriate description of the data used:

- Table 1 : Materials from de-pollution and dismantling (in tonnes per year) of end-of-life vehicles arising in the Member State and treated within the Member State ;

- Table 2: Materials from shredding (in tonnes per year) of end-of-life vehicles arising in the Member State and treated within the Member State;

- Table 3: Monitoring of (parts of) end-of-life vehicles arising in the Member State and exported for further treatment (in tonnes per year);

- Table 4: Total reuse, recovery and recycling (in tonnes per year) of end-of-life vehicles arising in the Member State and treated within or outside the Member State .

The tables set out in the Annex shall be completed by the Member States on an annual basis, starting with data for 2006

and shall be sent to the Commission within 18 months of the end of the relevant year. For the years prior to 2006, Member States shall report the available data to the Commission within 12 months of the end of the relevant year. The data related to the years prior to 2006 will be used for monitoring purposes only.
