    The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Holger KRAHMER (ALDE, DE) and agreed a compromise text with the Council. The main points are as follows:- within 54 months of the entry into force of the directive (instead of 36), Member States will refuse the registration, sale or entry into service of new vehicles which will not comply with rules for re-usability and recyclability;- the term "competent authority" is replaced by "competent body" throughout the text. It is defined as means an entity, e.g. a technical service or another existing body, notified by a Member State to carry out preliminary assessment and to issue a certificate of compliance, in accordance with the prescriptions of this Directive. The competent body may be the type-approval authority, provided its competence in this field is properly documented;- in the framework of the preliminary assessment, Member States must ensure that the materials used for the construction of a vehicle type comply with the provisions of Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 2000/53/EC. The Commission will establish the detailed rules necessary to verify compliance with this provision;- for the purposes of checks of the materials and masses of component parts, the manufacturer must make available vehicles and component parts as deemed necessary by the type-approval authority;- manufacturers must mark the component parts made of polymers and elastomers in accordance with Commission Decision 2003/138/EC;- the criteria for the selection of the reference vehicle has been amended to include type of bodywork, available trim levels and the available optional equipment which can be fitted under the manufacturer's responsibility.

    PURPOSE : to provide provisions ensuring that new passenger cars and light-duty trucks up to 3 5000 kg are designed to comply with required minimum rates in respect to their re-usability, recyclability and recoverability. PROPOSED ACT : Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council. CONTENT : the proposed Directive lays down the necessary provisions to ensure that new passenger cars and light-duty trucks up to 3 500kg are designed to comply with required minimum rates with respect to their re-usability, recyclability and recoverability. These provisions will be included in the Community type-approval system. In respect of passenger cars, they will be part of the whole vehicle type-approval procedure, which is compulsory for all new passenger cars. Directive 70/156/EEC is being recast in order to extend Community type-approval system to vehicles other than passenger cars. In the meantime, Member States are requested to apply the provisions of this Directive to light-duty trucks through their national type-approval procedures. This proposal seeks to create binding links with Directive 70/156/EEC and Annex I of this Directive concerning all relevant technical information needed for type-approval applications. The proposal also makes provisions for the marking of component parts - vital at the dismantling stage. Components made of polymers or elastomers need to be identified in order not to mix incompatible products. Thus, component parts relating to the proposed Directive are listed in the "dismantling list" a manufacturer has to present to the approval authority. Lastly, the proposal includes a list of component parts that are not to be re-used in the construction of vehicles for safety or environmental reasons.�
