Recital 65

(65) The authorised treatment facility should issue a certificate of destruction to the last vehicle owner upon delivery of the end-of-life vehicle. This is necessary to ensure a proper supervision of management of end-of-life vehicles. The minimum requirements for such certificates are currently laid down in Commission Decision 2002/151/EC (16) and the content of that Decision should be included in this Regulation, with the necessary adaptations. Such certificates should be issued in an electronic format to last owners of end-of-life vehicles, and provided by the authorised treatment facilities to the relevant authorities of the Member State through an electronic notification procedure for the purpose of cancelling the registration of the vehicle. The electronic notification system should enable the transmission of the certificate of destruction and allow for a copy of the electronic notification to be provided to the last vehicle owner as well as to any economic operator acting on behalf of that owner.
