In July 2023, the European Commission adopted its proposal to revise and
merge the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive and the 3R Type-Approval Directive
into a single Regulation on Circularity Requirements for Vehicle Design and
on Management of End-of-Life Vehicles. The proposal aims to strengthen the
EU single market while improving the circularity of the sector and reducing
the environmental impacts associated with the design, production, use, and
end-of-life treatment of vehicles.
