Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

The End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) Directive, which came into force in 2000, requires EU member states to:

• Ensure all ELVs are handled only by authorised dismantlers.

• Provide free take-back of all ELVs for new vehicles out on the market after 2002; from 2007, provide free take-back for all vehicles including those put on market before 2002.

• Restrict the use of heavy metals in vehicles from July 2003.

• Ensure that a minimum of 85% of vehicles are reused or recovered (including energy recovery) and 80% are reused or recycled from 2006. This increases 10 95% reused or recovered (including energy recovery) and 85% reused or recycled by 2015.
