Objective of the consultation

Following the requirements of Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Member States of the European Union have to ensure that materials and components of vehicles put on the market since 1 July 2003 do not contain lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium and cadmium. A limited number of applications exempted from the provision of this article are listed in Annex II to the Directive as well as the scope and the expiry date of the exemption and the labelling requirement according to Article 4(2)(b)(iv)  (if applicable).
Some entries of Annex II include a mandatory review date. This is inter alia the case for exemption 8(i) which needs to be reviewed before 1 January 2012 since the expiry date for this exemption has been set to 1 January 2013 making a timely review necessary.
Against this background the Commission has contracted Öko-Institut and Fraunhofer IZM for the review of exemption 8(i).
