Summary

The dossier sets circularity requirements for vehicle design and the management of end-of-life vehicles. Amendments add a non-technical description of environmental impacts based on a Life Cycle Assessment, apply the waste hierarchy of prevention, reuse, recycling and recovery, and address recycled content, remanufactured components and the non-destructive removal and repair of parts; others reject the proposal or rewrite recitals on the European Green Deal.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →

Milestones are the votes that adopt or reject text (not every amendment vote) — the percentage is the share of the group’s Members behind that position. Positions are shown on the text itself: on a rejection motion, a vote for rejection counts as against the text. Click a column heading to open the vote below.
