Recital 62

(62) A key prerequisite for the sound treatment of end-of-life vehicles is that all end-of-life vehicles are collected. This Regulation should therefore impose certain obligations linked to the collection primarily on the producers and, secondarily, on the Member States. Producers should ensure that all end-of-life vehicles that they have made available on the market for the first time in the territory of a Member State are collected. To that end, producers or producer responsibility organisations should set up or participate in setting up the collection systems and Member States should adopt all necessary measures to ensure that the collection systems are in place and that those systems enable meeting the objectives of this Regulation. The collection systems should enable vehicle owners and other vehicle holders to deliver the vehicle to an authorised treatment facility or collection point without unnecessary efforts or costs. This means in practice that such systems should appropriately cover the whole territory of each Member State and ensure adequate availability of authorised treatment facilities or collection points. They should also allow for collection of all brands of end-of-life vehicles, as well as of waste parts from repair of vehicles.
