Recital 4

(4) The Commission’s evaluation of Directive 2000/53/EC highlighted that it has been effective in delivering many of its initial objectives, especially the elimination of cadmium, lead, mercury and hexavalent chromium from vehicles, an increase in collection points for end-of-life vehicles and the attainment of the recovery and recycling targets. However, the evaluation found that that Directive insufficiently addressed important issues linked to the collection of end-of-life vehicles and that it was no longer adapted to ensuring a high quality of treatment of these vehicles.
