Disassemblers and automobile producers voice worries about burdensome End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) taking apart regulations
The automotive industry has united to voice their concerns over the European Union's proposed expansion of dismantling obligations under the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation (ELVR). A significant document, the joint paper, outlining the views of vehicle recyclers, manufacturers, and automotive suppliers, is now available on the website of the European Association of Automotive Suppliers.
The joint paper represents a collaborative effort to influence the outcome of the ELVR expansion discussion. The signatories, which include the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, the European Recycling Industries' Confederation (EuRIC), and the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), collectively question the utility, effectiveness, and added value of certain component-specific mandatory dismantling obligations in the ELVR expansion proposal.
The organizations involved in the joint paper challenge the necessity of these obligations, expressing reservations about their impact on reuse, safety, and material efficiency. They argue that the added value of these component-specific mandatory dismantling obligations should be reconsidered in the ELVR expansion proposal.
The signatories of the joint paper do not oppose the reuse of vehicle components. Instead, they question the added value of some component-specific mandatory dismantling obligations for these purposes. The joint paper raises doubts about the benefits of specific component-related dismantling obligations in the context of the ELVR expansion.
The ELVR expansion proposal is a matter of concern for these three organizations, and they are not alone in their reservations. The proposal is being discussed by various other parties, including the European Union and other industry associations.
The joint paper is a significant contribution to the ongoing discussion about the ELVR expansion. It provides a clear and unified voice from the automotive industry, expressing their concerns and proposing alternatives for the EU's proposed expansion of dismantling obligations under the ELVR.
The paper is available for public viewing on the European Association of Automotive Suppliers' website, offering an opportunity for all interested parties to understand the industry's stance on this important issue. The ELVR expansion proposal remains a topic of ongoing debate, and the joint paper serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the industry's perspective.
