Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) Batteries are thus an important source of energy and one of the key enablers for sustainable development, green mobility, clean energy and climate neutrality. It is expected that the demand for batteries will grow rapidly in the coming years, notably for electric road transport vehicles using batteries for traction, making this market an increasingly strategic one at European and the global level. Significant scientific and technical progress in the field of battery technology will continue. In view of the strategic importance of batteries and the battery value chain, and to provide legal and investment certainty to all operators involved and to avoid discrimination, barriers to trade and distortions on the market for batteries, it is necessary to set out rules on sustainability parameters, performance, safety, collection, recycling and second life of batteries as well as on information about batteries. It is necessary to create a harmonised regulatory framework for dealing with the entire life cycle of batteries that are placed on the market in the Union. and ensure that all batteries entering the internal market from non-EU countries also meet the high standards set by this Regulation.
