About this good practice
The decree has the purpose:
(a) to minimize the impact of end-of-life vehicles on the environment, in order to contribute to the protection, conservation and improvement of the quality of the environment;
b) to avoid distortions of competition, especially as regards the access of small and medium-sized enterprises to the market for the collection, demolition, treatment and recycling of end-of-life vehicles;
c) to determine the conditions that allow the development of a system that ensures efficient, rational and economically sustainable operation of the collection, recovery and recycling of the materials of the dismissed vehicles.
The authorization to carry out the processing operations for dismissed vehicles is issued to the treatment plants governed by the decree for a period of five years and renewable. In the case of a treatment plant which, at the time of issuing the authorization or its renewal, is registered in accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 761/01 (EMAS), said authorization is granted and is renewable for a period of eight years.
It applies to companies operating in the end of life vehicles management with an Emas registration.
