Recital 25

(25) To facilitate compliance with this Regulation and provide guidance on the presence of substances of concern in vehicles and in their parts and components, including those which hamper reuse and recycling of materials, or have adverse effects on health or on the environment, it is appropriate for the Commission to carry out an assessment and mapping of such substances. To that end, the Commission, assisted by the European Chemicals Agency established under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the ‘Agency’), should prepare a report on the presence of substances of concern in vehicles. That report should identify the extent to which such substances hinder reuse and recycling or adversely affect health or the environment, without duplicating assessments already required under other Union legislation. On the basis of its findings, the Commission should consider and take appropriate follow-up measures, including, where relevant, the adoption of delegated acts to establish information requirements and restrictions for substances of concern that negatively affect the reuse and recycling of materials for reasons not primarily related to chemical safety.
