ACEA believes that any collection target would be inefficient to recycle more batteries. Therefore no changes are necessary to the actual legislation.Efficient and well-working collection and recycling processes, not only for automotive batteries and traction batteries, but for vehicles as such, are already implemented in many Member States.

DKE, the German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies of DIN and VDE, welcomes the new EU proposal of Regulation on batteries and waste batteries that should allow to position EU industry leadership as frontrunner in terms of green and technologically advanced batteries.

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) believes that the GPSD is still broadly fit for purpose and does not require a major overhaul. At the most, it could be revised in a targeted manner to update some of the definitions with a view to clarifying their applicability.

Standardization in support of the EU legislation has become over the decades a strategic tool for the well-being of the European Internal Market and European companies, as well as European consumers and society, a system copied by partners around the world. We appreciate that this also applies for the European Commission proposal for a GPSR even though it is not a harmonization legislation.
