UPDATING THE ELV DIRECTIVE - A MESSAGE FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
22/07/2021
We have recently been contacted by the European Commission about proposals for updating the ELV Directive. It is likely that the UK will stay aligned (more or less) with the EU on this, so it is of relevance to UK recyclers. The message is as follows: We would like to inform you that the European Commission has launched an open public consultation on the review of the Directive on the end-of-life vehicles. You are kindly invited to contribute to the consultation process by filling in the questionnaire which will be open for 14 weeks by 26th of October (midnight). We would like to draw your attention that currently the questionnaire is available in English language. Translations into the other EU languages will be uploaded as soon as possible within the upcoming weeks. Your contribution will be very important for the upcoming steps in reviewing the EU rules on the ELVs. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to participate in the consultation process and to share this information with your counterparts.
