art_5__para_2

2. By 14 February 2028, the Commission shall prepare a report on the presence of substances of concern in vehicles, to determine the extent to which they negatively affect the reuse and recycling of materials or have an adverse effect on the environment or health. The Commission shall be assisted by the Agency on aspects of chemical safety. The report shall not cover substances of concern in vehicle parts and components for which an identification or assessment is already required by other Union legislation. The Commission shall submit the report to the European Parliament and to the Council, setting out its findings, and consider the appropriate follow-up measures. If a Member State considers that a substance negatively affects the reuse and recycling of materials in a vehicle in which it is present, it shall, by 14 February 2029, supply such information to the Commission and, on aspects of chemical safety, also to the Agency and, where available, refer to any relevant risk assessments or other relevant data.
