Recital 27

(27) In order to take account of scientific and technical progress, the power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should continue to be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending exemptions from restrictions on the use of lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in vehicles under this Regulation. Modifying or deleting such exemptions should be preceded by an assessment of the socio-economic impacts of such change, which is absent in Directive 2000/53/EC, including consideration of the availability of alternative substances and the impacts on the environment and on human health across the lifecycle of vehicles. Before adopting such a delegated act, the Commission should consult relevant experts and stakeholders in order to take into account socio-economic impacts and impacts on the environment and on human health. To ensure effective decision-making, coordination and management of the technical, scientific and administrative aspects of amending this Regulation with respect to restrictions on use of substances in vehicles, the Agency should assist the Commission in such assessment.
