DIRECTIVE 2000/53/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 18 September 2000
on end-of life vehicles
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in particular Article 175(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of
the Treaty in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation
Committee on 23 May 2000 (3),
Whereas
(1) The different national measures concerning end-of life vehicles
should be harmonised in order, first, to minimise the impact of
end-of life vehicles on the environment, thus contributing to the
protection, preservation and improvement of the quality of the
environment and energy conservation, and, second, to ensure the
smooth operation of the internal market and avoid distortions of
competition in the Community.
(2) A Community-wide framework is necessary in order to ensure
coherence between national approaches in attaining the objectives
stated above, particularly with a view to the design of vehicles
for recycling and recovery, to the requirements for collection and
treatment facilities, and to the attainment of the targets for reuse,
recycling and recovery, taking into account the principle of subsi-
diarity and the polluter-pays principle.
(3) Every year end-of life vehicles in the Community generate
between 8 and 9 million tonnes of waste, which must be managed
correctly.
(4) In order to implement the precautionary and preventive principles
and in line with the Community strategy for waste management,
the generation of waste must be avoided as much as possible.
(5) It is a further fundamental principle that waste should be reused
and recovered, and that preference be given to reuse and recy-
cling.
(6) Member States should take measures to ensure that economic
operators set up systems for the collection, treatment and recovery
of end-of life vehicles.
(7) Member States should ensure that the last holder and/or owner
can deliver the end-of life vehicle to an authorised treatment
facility without any cost as a result of the vehicle having no or a
negative, market value. Member States should ensure that produ-
cers meet all, or a significant part of, the costs of the implementa-
tion of these measures; the normal functioning of market forces
should not be hindered.

(8) This Directive should cover vehicles and end-of life vehicles,
including their components and materials, as well as spare and
replacement parts, without prejudice to safety standards, air emis-
sions and noise control.
(9) This Directive should be understood as having borrowed, where
appropriate, the terminology used by several existing directives,
namely Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the
approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions
relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous
substances (1), Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to
the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (2), and
Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste (3).
(10) Vintage vehicles, meaning historic vehicles or vehicles of value
to collectors or intended for museums, kept in a proper and envir-
onmentally sound manner, either ready for use or stripped into
parts, are not covered by the definition of waste laid down by
Directive 75/442/EEC and do not fall within the scope of this
Directive.
(11) It is important that preventive measures be applied from the
conception phase of the vehicle onwards and take the form, in
particular, of reduction and control of hazardous substances in
vehicles, in order to prevent their release into the environment, to
facilitate recycling and to avoid the disposal of hazardous waste.
In particular the use of lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent
chromium should be prohibited. These heavy metals should only
be used in certain applications according to a list which will be
regularly reviewed. This will help to ensure that certain materials
and components do not become shredder residues, and are not
incinerated or disposed of in landfills.
(12) The recycling of all plastics from end-of life vehicles should be
continuously improved. The Commission is currently examining
the environmental impacts of PVC. The Commission will, on the
basis of this work, make proposals as appropriate as to the use of
PVC including considerations for vehicles.
(13) The requirements for dismantling, reuse and recycling of end-of
life vehicles and their components should be integrated in the
design and production of new vehicles.
(14) The development of markets for recycled materials should be
encouraged.
(15) In order to ensure that end-of life vehicles are discarded without
endangering the environment, appropriate collection systems
should be set up.
(16) A certificate of destruction, to be used as a condition for the de-
registration of end-of life vehicles, should be introduced. Member
States without a de-registration system should set up a system
according to which a certificate of destruction is notified to the
relevant competent authority when the end-of life vehicle is trans-
ferred to a treatment facility.
(17) This Directive does not prevent Member States from granting,
where appropriate, temporary deregistrations of vehicles.
(18) Collection and treatment operators should be allowed to operate
only when they have received a permit or, in case a registration is
used instead of a permit, specific conditions have been complied
with.

(19) The recyclability and recoverability of vehicles should be
promoted.
(20) It is important to lay down requirements for storage and treatment
operations in order to prevent negative impacts on the environ-
ment and to avoid the emergence of distortions in trade and
competition.
(21) In order to achieve results in the short term and to give operators,
consumers and public authorities the necessary perspective for the
longer term, quantified targets for reuse, recycling and recovery
to be achieved by economic operators should be set.
(22) Producers should ensure that vehicles are designed and manufac-
tured in such a way as to allow the quantified targets for reuse,
recycling and recovery to be achieved. To this end the Commis-
sion will promote the preparation of European standards and will
take the other necessary measures in order to amend the pertinent
European vehicle type-approval legislation.
(23) Member States should ensure that in implementing the provisions
of this Directive competition is preserved, in particular as regards
the access of small and medium-sized enterprises to the collec-
tion, dismantling, treatment and recycling market.
(24) In order to facilitate the dismantling and recovery, in particular
recycling of end-of life vehicles, vehicle manufacturers should
provide authorised treatment facilities with all requisite disman-
tling information, in particular for hazardous materials.
(25) The preparation of European standards, where appropriate, should
be promoted. Vehicle manufacturers and material producers
should use component and material coding standards, to be estab-
lished by the Commission assisted by the relevant committee. In
the preparation of these standards the Commission will take
account, as appropriate, of the work going on in this area in the
relevant international forums.
(26) Community-wide data on end-of life vehicles are needed in order
to monitor the implementation of the objectives of this Directive.
(27) Consumers have to be adequately informed in order to adjust their
behaviour and attitudes; to this end information should be made
available by the relevant economic operators.
(28) Member States may choose to implement certain provisions by
means of agreements with the economic sector concerned,
provided that certain conditions are met.
(29) The adaptation to scientific and technical progress of the require-
ments for treatment facilities and for the use of hazardous
substances and, as well as the adoption of minimum standards for
the certificate of destruction, the formats for the database and the
implementation measures necessary to control compliance with
the quantified targets should be effected by the Commission
under a Committee procedure.
(30) The measures to be taken for the implementation of this Directive
should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision
1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the
exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (1).
(31) Member States may apply the provisions of this Directive in
advance of the date set out therein, provided such measures are
compatible with the Treaty,

Article 3
Scope
1. This Directive shall cover vehicles and end-of life vehicles,
including their components and materials. Without prejudice to Article 5
(4), third subparagraph, this shall apply irrespective of how the vehicle
has been serviced or repaired during use and irrespective of whether it is
equipped with components supplied by the producer or with other
components whose fitting as spare or replacement parts accords with the
appropriate Community provisions or domestic provisions.
2. This Directive shall apply without prejudice to existing Commu-
nity legislation and relevant national legislation, in particular as regards
safety standards, air emissions and noise controls and the protection of
soil and water.
3. Where a producer only makes or imports vehicles that are exempt

this Directive shall apply.
Article 4
Prevention
1. In order to promote the prevention of waste Member States shall
encourage, in particular:
(a) vehicle manufacturers, in liaison with material and equipment manu-
facturers, to limit the use of hazardous substances in vehicles and to
reduce them as far as possible from the conception of the vehicle
onwards, so as in particular to prevent their release into the environ-
ment, make recycling easier, and avoid the need to dispose of hazar-
dous waste;
(b) the design and production of new vehicles which take into full
account and facilitate the dismantling, reuse and recovery, in parti-
cular the recycling, of end-of life vehicles, their components and
materials;
(c) vehicle manufacturers, in liaison with material and equipment manu-
facturers, to integrate an increasing quantity of recycled material in
vehicles and other products, in order to develop the markets for
recycled materials.
2. (a) Member States shall ensure that materials and components of
vehicles put on the market after 1 July 2003 do not contain lead,
mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium other than in cases
listed in Annex II under the conditions specified therein;
(b) in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11 the
Commission shall on a regular basis, according to technical and
scientific progress, amend Annex II, in order to:
(i) as necessary, establish maximum concentration values up to
which the existence of the substances referred to in subpara-
graph (a) in specific materials and components of vehicles
shall be tolerated;
(ii) exempt certain materials and components of vehicles from
the provisions of subparagraph (a) if the use of these

(iv) under points (i) and (ii) designate those materials and
components of vehicles that can be stripped before further
treatment; they shall be labelled or made identifiable by
other appropriate means;
(c) the Commission shall amend Annex II for the first time not later
than 21 October 2001. In any case none of the exemptions listed
therein shall be deleted from the Annex before 1 January 2003.
Article 5
Collection
1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure:
— that economic operators set up systems for the collection of all end-
of life vehicles and, as far as technically feasible, of waste used parts
removed when passenger cars are repaired,
— the adequate availability of collection facilities within their territory.
2. Member States shall also take the necessary measures to ensure
that all end-of life vehicles are transferred to authorised treatment facil-
ities.
3. Member States shall set up a system according to which the
presentation of a certificate of destruction is a condition for deregistra-
tion of the end-of life vehicle. This certificate shall be issued to the
holder and/or owner when the end-of life vehicle is transferred to a treat-
ment facility. Treatment facilities, which have obtained a permit in
accordance with Article 6, shall be permitted to issue a certificate of
destruction. Member States may permit producers, dealers and collectors
on behalf of an authorised treatment facility to issue certificates of
destruction provided that they guarantee that the end-of life vehicle is
transferred to an authorised treatment facility and provided that they are
registered with public authorities.
Issuing the certificate of destruction by treatment facilities or dealers or
collectors on behalf of an authorised treatment facility does not entitle
them to claim any financial reimbursement, except in cases where this
has been explicitly arranged by Member States.
Member States which do not have a deregistration system at the date of
entry into force of this Directive shall set up a system according to
which a certificate of destruction is notified to the relevant competent
authority when the end-of life vehicle is transferred to a treatment
facility and shall otherwise comply with the terms of this paragraph.
Member States making use of this subparagraph shall inform the
Commission of the reasons thereof.
4. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the
delivery of the vehicle to an authorised treatment facility in accordance
with paragraph 3 occurs without any cost for the last holder and/or
owner as a result of the vehicle's having no or a negative market value.
Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that produ-
cers meet all, or a significant part of, the costs of the implementation of
this measure and/or take back end-of life vehicles under the same condi-
tions as referred to in the first subparagraph.
Member States may provide that the delivery of end-of life vehicles is
not fully free of charge if the end-of life vehicle does not contain the
essential components of a vehicle, in
