L 310/10 Official Journal of the European Union 25.11.2005 DIRECTIVE 2005/64/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 26 October 2005 on the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability, recyclability and recoverability and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (), Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty (3), Whereas: In accordance with Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on end-of-life vehicles (%), appropriate provisions should be laid down to ensure that type-approved vehicles belonging to category M, and those belonging to category N, may be put on the tnarket only if they are reusable and/or recyclable to a minimum of 85 % by mass and are reusable and/or recoverable to a minimum of 95 % by mass. Reusability of component parts, recyclability and recoverability of materials constitute a substantial part of the Community strategy for waste management. Therefore vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers should be requested to include those aspects at the earliest stages of the development of new vehicles, in order to facilitate the treatment of vehicles at the time when they reach the end of their life. O] C 74, 23.3.2005, p. 15. Opinion of the European Parliament of 14 April 2005 (not yet published in the Official Journal) and Council Decision of 6 October 2005. OJ L 269, 21.10.2000, p. 34. Directive as last amended by Council Decision 2005/673EC (O] L 254, 30.9.2005, p. 69). G) This Directive constitutes one of the separate directives within the framework of the Community whole vehicle type-approval system established by Council Directive 70/156EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type- approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (*). That whole vehicle type-approval system is currently compulsory for vehicles belonging to category M, and will be extended, in the near future, to all categorles of vehicle. It is therefore necessary to include in the whole vehicle type-approval system those measures concerning the re-usability, recyclability and recoverability of vehicles. Accordingly, it is necessary to lay down provisions to take into account the fact that N, vehicles are not yet covered by the whole vehicle type- approval system. The manufacturer should make available to the approval authority all relevant technical information as regards constituent materials and their respective masses in order to permit verification of the manufacturer’s calculations in accordance with the standard ISO 22628: 2002. The manufacturer’s calculations can be properly validated at the time of the vehicle type-approval only if the manufacturer has put in place satisfactory arrangements and procedures to manage all information he receives from his suppliers. Before any type-approval can be granted, the competent body should carry out a preliminary assessment of those arrangements and procedures and should issue a certificate indicating that they are satisfactory.
