response: 'Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure

  The introduction of a vehicle de-registration levy was necessary to prevent abuse
  in the case of de-registration. Given that vehicle legislation allows the withdrawal
  of a vehicle from circulation at any time and for an unlimited period, it was also
  necessary to introduce measures to prevent abuse of this instrument and to ensure
  that the owner of the vehicle complies with his/her statutory obligations with the
  vehicle, throughout the lifetime of the vehicle, until it is scrapped. Given the
  number of vehicle retirements, this cannot be effectively ensured by a measure based
  on inspection of owners, but only by a measure that prevents abuses in the handling
  of end-of-life vehicles in a systematic way in advance.

  In line with existing experience and practice in most EU Member States, only such
  financial instruments can effectively prevent the "disappearance" of vehicles. Indirectly,
  these measures make a key contribution to the necessary efficiency of the end-of-life
  vehicle scrappage system and thus to the prevention of environmental pollution and
  risks to human health, to the achievement of regulatory environmental objectives,
  as well as to the prevention of black labour and the grey economy and to ensuring
  that vehicle records are up-to-date.

  The introduction of a vehicle de-registration levy is therefore based on a measure
  which prevents abuses in the management of end-of-life vehicles in advance and is
  in line with the relevant existing practice in other Member States.

  The Motor Vehicle Levy Act has been drafted to regulate this area. It follows from
  the above that the proposal cannot be implemented as proposed and we therefore do
  not support it.'
