THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on end-of-life vehicles (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) The highest accuracy of the targets can only be achieved if the denominator for the calculation of the targets is based on the number of end-of-life vehicles entering a treatment system of a Member State.
(4) Balancing the risks of inaccuracies and the administrative efforts of achieving precise information, Member States are allowed to use a metal content assumption for the determination of the amount of metals from end-of-life vehicles which will be recovered.
(5) Readily available vehicle data in a standardised form should be used for the determination of the individual vehicle weight.
(6) Fuel removed during dismantling shall not be taken into account for the calculation of the targets, since reliable information about the amount of fuel in end-of-life vehicles is not available in all Member States. An EU average amount of fuel should be used for the purpose of monitoring compliance with the targets, in order to harmonise, as much as possible, the calculation methods and ensure the comparability of the national targets achieved in the Member States.
(7) As a consequence of the internal market, Member States may export the end-of-life vehicles generated on their territory to other countries for further treatment. In order to minimise allocation problems and to avoid extensive monitoring and calculation efforts, the recycling and recovery rates from exported vehicle parts will be credited to the exporting Member State.
(8) Shredder campaigns are necessary to determine the output streams of a shredder related to end-of-life vehicles.
(9) The Commission shall continue to monitor the calculation of the targets, including the mass relevance of the exports and its influence on the recycling and recovery rates. To this end, Member States should also report data prior to the year 2006. This data will be used for monitoring purposes only.
(10) This Decision applies without prejudice to Regulation (EC) No 2150/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2002 on waste statistics (2).
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC (3),
