Environmental Fund• Public fund created on the bases of the European principles "polluter pays" and "producer's responsibility“ to support the most important projects on environmental protection.
• its incomes are from contributions collected for industrial activities with impact on the environment and from pollution tax, paid at the first registration of a vehicle.
Finances the collection and treatment of ELVs introduced on the Romanian market by individual producers or producers who doesn’t exist anymore, if the value of spare parts and of the recyclable materials doesn’t cover the cost.
Since 2005 - Programmes for Renewal of National Car Fleet:
EFA grant of 3000 RON for a vehicle older than 12 years, registered in Romania

Reporting obligation (Ministerial Order 625/2007)
Starting with 2007. For 2006, voluntary reporting.
Methods:Weighing, calculation based on subtraction method:
mass of reused materials =mass of vehicle – (mass of liquids from depollution + mass of components sent to recycling or recovery + mass of materials sent to landfill).
Estimation of metal content, which is considered 75% of medium mass of an empty ELV and:
reuse of non-metal components – 3% recycle of liquids – 0.7% recovery of liquids – 1% recycle of tires – 1.2% recovery of tires – 2.4% recycle of glass – 1.4%

Main problems • difficulties in setting up of individual or collective systems for
the collection of ELV, evenly distributed in the territory;• the compliance with the restrictions in the use of heavy
metals;• meeting the targets;• lack of treatment units; • difficulties in the development of technologies for the
recycling/recovery of plastics and fluids from ELVs;• due to the fact that most of ELVs in Romania are 25-30 year
old, the reuse of the spear parts is not a real option;• 5% of car fleet are orphan vehicles (source RAR);• imported vehicles: 7 second-hand vehicles to 1 new vehicle;• inexistence of an organization for taking over the
responsibility regarding the fulfillment of the annual targets.
