Recital 96

(96) In order to ensure the effective enforcement of this Regulation, it is necessary that Member States establish inspection strategies designed to detect illegal activities in the collection, treatment and export of end-of-life vehicles, as well as their parts and components. Such strategies should provide for the actions set out in this Regulation to safeguard compliance and contribute to the prevention of unlawful practices in the sector. Member States should carry out inspections each calendar year. Such inspections should cover both legally operating entities and suspected illegal activities. The minimum number of inspections to be conducted annually in each Member State should correspond to no less than 10 % of authorised treatment facilities and collection points operating within that Member State. It needs to be emphasised that inspections carried out under this Regulation should be complementary to inspections on the shipment of end-of-life vehicles, which are comprehensively regulated in Regulation (EU) 2024/1157.
