Article 29

1. From 1 September 2029, authorised treatment facilities shall ensure that the parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VIII, are removed from an end-of-life vehicle, prior to shredding or compacting, after the depollution operations referred to in Article 28 have been completed. Authorised treatment facilities shall remove parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VIII with a reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment potential in a non-destructive manner. The second subparagraph of this paragraph shall not apply if an authorised treatment facility demonstrates that the manual dismantling, semi-automated or automated disassembly in a non-destructive way of parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VIII entails disproportionate economic costs that cannot be compensated by the revenues expected from the reuse, remanufacturing or refurbishment of those parts and components. 2. An authorised treatment facility shall not be required to remove parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VIII, with the exception of those that are to be removed in a non-destructive manner in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article, if it demonstrates that post-shredder technologies separate materials from parts and components designated in the second column of Part C of Annex VIII as efficiently as manual dismantling processes, semi-automated or automated disassembly processes and that the criteria and limit values of Part G, points 1 and 2, of Annex VIII are met. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, the authorised treatment facility shall provide the information listed in Part G, point 3, of Annex VIII. 3. In addition to the obligations set out in Article 35 of Directive 2008/98/EC, the authorised treatment facilities shall maintain records of the end-of-life vehicles that are processed without the prior removal of parts, components and materials in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, including the name and address of the treatment facilities, and the VIN of the end-of-life vehicles concerned. The authorised treatment facilities shall provide the information in the records referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph to the competent authority in accordance with Article 50(6).
