Recital 95

(95) In its evaluation of Directive 2000/53/EC, the Commission considered the lack of requirements on mandatory inspections as a shortcoming of that Directive. Therefore, this Regulation should impose on Member States certain obligations related to detecting illegal activities in the area of collection, treatment and export of end-of-life vehicles and their parts and components, as well as set out minimum requirements concerning the frequency of inspections, their scope and characteristics of facilities subject to such inspections. The competitiveness of the authorised treatment facilities in relation to the illegal operators would thus be safeguarded and a continued compliance with conditions of permits and requirements on the collection and treatment of end-of-life vehicles would be ensured.
