    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
    1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
    • Reasons for and objectives of the proposal
    Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (1
    ) aims to contribute to the efficient functioning of the internal
    market, while preventing and reducing the adverse impacts of batteries on the environment. It
    also aims to protect the environment and human health by preventing and reducing the
    adverse impacts of the generation and management of waste batteries. It imposes among other
    things battery due diligence obligations on economic operators placing batteries on the market
    or putting them into service. These obligations are to be applied from 18 August 2025.
    Battery raw material supply chains are affected by a shifting geopolitical landscape. This
    leaves the battery industry with many challenges in particular related to sourcing raw
    materials. It takes time to analyse and adjust supply chains.
    Furthermore, one of the battery due diligence obligations is that economic operators’ battery
    due diligence policies are verified by a notified body (‘third-party verification’). Only about
    half of the Member States have appointed their notifying authority in charge of the
    assessment, notification and monitoring of conformity assessment bodies. In many cases such
    applications would be based on accreditation, but the European co-operation for Accreditation
    association has not been able to determine a standard for the accreditation of notified bodies
    for battery due diligence. It instead indicated that this should rely on schemes approved by the
    European Commission.
    Due diligence schemes being developed by industry associations and groupings of interested
    organisations are expected to play an important role in the implementation of the battery due
    diligence obligations. The provisions on such schemes in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 mirror
    those of Regulation (EU) 2017/821, for which several schemes are being assessed for
    recognition, but no scheme has been recognised to date. Schemes that address battery raw
    materials still need to be further developed and implemented and then go through the
    recognition process for schemes under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
    In addition, Article 94(4) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires the Commission to assess,
    one year after the Directive (EU) 2024/1760 on corporate sustainability due diligence (2
    ) was
    adopted, whether amendments to the battery due diligence obligations are necessary in light
    of the adoption of that Directive. While it is too early for such an assessment, especially
    because the Commission proposed amendments to Directive (EU) 2024/1760 on 26 February
    2025, consistency in implementation could be improved by developing the guidelines for both
    pieces of legislation hand in hand, if the application dates allow to do so.
    For these reasons, the Commission considers that the date of application of the battery due
    diligence obligations specified in Article 48(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 should be
    postponed by two years to allow economic operators placing batteries on the EU market to be
    better prepared, with the help of guidelines, and to allow time to resolve difficulties with the
    availability of notified bodies.
    (1
    ) Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 concerning
    batteries and waste batteries, amending Directive 2008/98/EC and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and
    repealing Directive 2006/66/EC (OJ L 191, 28.7.2023, p. 1).
    (2
    ) Directive (EU) 2024/1760 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 on corporate
    sustainability due diligence and amending Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and Regulation (EU) 2023/2859
    (OJ L, 2024/1760, 5.7.2024, p. 1).
    EN 2 EN
    • Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area
    The adoption of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 was an integral part of the European Green Deal
    and is coherent with its overall objectives and all the initiatives developed under it. This
    proposal does not amend any substantive rules of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 but merely aims
    to accord additional time for economic operators placing batteries on the EU market to be
    better prepared and to resolve difficulties with the availability of notified bodies.
    • Consistency with other Union policies
    Directive (EU) 2024/1760 on corporate sustainability due diligence lays down rules and
    obligations to ensure that companies identify and address potential and actual adverse human
    rights and environmental impacts in the company’s own operations, their subsidiaries and,
    when related to their chains of activities, those of their business partners.
    Directive (EU) 2024/1760 was adopted after the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. It
    specifies that the Directive is ‘without prejudice to obligations in the areas of human,
    employment and social rights, and of protection of the environment and climate change under
    other Union legislative acts’, and that ‘if a provision of this Directive conflicts with a
    provision of another Union legislative act pursuing the same objectives and providing for
    more extensive or more specific obligations, the provision of that other Union legislative act
    shall prevail to the extent of the conflict and shall apply as regards those specific obligations.’
    This is the case for the more specific requirements of the battery due diligence policy in
    Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. Operators in the battery supply chain must therefore apply the
    battery due diligence policy of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 insofar as they are more extensive
    or more specific, instead of the equivalent provisions in Directive (EU) 2024/1760 for the
    supply chain stages and the minerals specified. For other operations, operators in scope of
    both legislative acts must follow the rules of Directive (EU) 2024/1760.
    There are some elements where the due diligence obligations of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542
    are not harmonious with the provisions of Directive (EU) 2024/1760. This is because
    Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 is product-specific and Directive (EU) 2024/1760 is cross-
    sectorial.
    This proposal addresses consistency to the extent possible by harmonising the publication
    dates for guidelines under both pieces of legislation so they can be developed hand in hand.
    2. LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY
    • Legal basis
    Due diligence obligations on economic operators placing batteries on the market or putting
    them into service should prevent and reduce adverse impacts of batteries on the environment
    and ensure a sustainable battery value chain. Such measures will help to ensure the transition
    to a circular economy and the long-term competitiveness of the EU. They should also
    contribute to the efficient functioning of the internal market, while taking into account a high
    level of protection of the environment. To prevent divergences hampering the free circulation
    of batteries Article 114 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be
    used as a legal basis of the proposal.
    • Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)
    This initiative is consistent with the principle of subsidiarity. Given the need to modify
    Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 by postponing the application of its due diligence obligations, the
    objectives of this initiative cannot be achieved by the Member States themselves.
    EN 3 EN
    • Proportionality
    The proposal is consistent with the principle of proportionality, i.e. it does not go beyond
    what is necessary to meet the objectives of the Treaties and in particular the smooth
    functioning of the internal market. As with the subsidiarity test, it is not possible for Member
    States to address the issues without a proposal to amend the date of application of the due
    diligence obligations of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
    • Choice of the instrument
    The proposal amends Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries
    only as regards the postponement of the date of application. It should therefore follow the
    same type of act, i.e. a regulation.
    3. RESULTS OF EX POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER
    CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
    • Ex post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation
    Not applicable.
    • Stakeholder consultations
    Not applicable.
    • Collection and use of expertise
    Not applicable.
    • Impact assessment
    Not applicable.
    An impact assessment was carried out for the proposal, which led to the adoption of
    Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. The current proposal only amends the date of application of the
    due diligence obligations of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
    • Regulatory fitness and simplification
    The main goal of this proposal is to postpone the date of application of the due diligence
    obligations of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 by two years to allow economic operators placing
    batteries on the EU market to be better prepared, with the help of guidelines, and resolve
    difficulties with third-party verification.
    The proposal does not change the substance of the rules, it only postpones their date of
    application.

    Proposal for a
    REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
    amending Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 as regards obligations of economic operators
    concerning battery due diligence policies
    (Text with EEA relevance)
    THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular
    Article 114 thereof,
    Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
    After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
    Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1
    ),
    Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,
    Whereas:
    (1) Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2
    ) sets out
    battery due diligence obligations that cover the sourcing, processing and trading of
    cobalt, natural graphite, lithium and nickel used for battery manufacturing. Those due
    diligence obligations are to be applied from 18 August 2025.
    (2) At a time when the geopolitical landscape continues to shift, various challenges need
    to be overcome, including in sourcing of raw materials. Battery manufacturers need
    time to analyse and, where necessary, adjust their supply chains as a result.
    (3) The battery due diligence obligations include requirements for third-party verification
    by notified bodies. However, the designation of notified bodies for battery due
    diligence policies is taking longer than expected. Due diligence schemes recognised by
    the Commission in accordance with Article 53 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 would
    facilitate the work of economic operators and of notified bodies. However, due
    diligence schemes addressing battery raw materials still need to be further developed
    and implemented, and then go through the recognition process.
    (4) In order to provide sufficient time for the notification of conformity assessment bodies
    and to allow economic operators placing batteries on the market to be in a position to
    comply with their obligations, the date of application of the battery due diligence
    policies set out in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, should be postponed by two years.

    (5) Directive (EU) 2024/1760 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3
    ) lays
    down rules and obligations to ensure that companies identify and address potential and
    actual adverse human rights and environmental impacts in the company’s own
    operations, the operations of their subsidiaries and, where related to their chains of
    activities, the operations of their business partners.
    (6) The Commission is to publish, in accordance with Article 48(5) Article of Regulation
    (EU) 2023/1542, guidelines as regards the application of the due battery diligence
    requirements. The Commission is to make available, in accordance with Article 19(2),
    point (a) of Directive (EU) 2024/1760, guidelines as regards guidance and best
    practices on how to conduct due diligence. Consistency between Regulation (EU)
    2023/1542 and Directive (EU) 2024/1760 is important for companies in the battery
    supply chain. Therefore, the relevant dates for the publication and making available of
    those guidelines should be harmonised.
    (7) Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 should therefore be amended accordingly.
    (8) This Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency on the day following
    that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and it should
    apply from 18 August 2025 in order to provide legal certainty with regard to the date
    of application of the due diligence obligations under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542,

    Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending
    Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 as regards obligations of economic operators concerning
    battery due diligence policies
    1.2. Policy area(s) concerned
    Policy area: 03 Single Market, 03 02 01 01 – Operation and development of the
    internal market of goods and services
    1.3. Objective(s)
    1.3.1. General objective(s)
    Reducing environmental and social impacts through responsible sourcing.
    1.3.2. Specific objective(s)
    Ensure that the battery due diligence provisions of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 can
    be properly implemented by economic operators, including third party verification.
    1.3.3. Expected result(s) and impact
    Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the
    beneficiaries/groups targeted.
    Companies have more time to prepare for the implementation of due diligence
    obligations, including third party verification. It also allows the Commission, at the
    level of guidance, to address coherence in implementation with the provisions of
    Directive (EU) 2024/1760.
    1.3.4. Indicators of performance
    Specify the indicators for monitoring progress and achievements.
    The indicators for Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 remain the same.
    1.4. The proposal/initiative relates to:
    ☐ a new action
    ☐ a new action following a pilot project/preparatory action (1
    )
     the extension of an existing action
    ☐ a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new
    action
    1.5. Grounds for the proposal/initiative
    1.5.1. Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term including a detailed timeline for
    roll-out of the implementation of the initiative
    The obligations remain the same as for Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, but the timeline
    shifts.

    EN 8 EN
    1.5.2. Added value of EU involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g.
    coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For
    the purposes of this section 'added value of EU involvement' is the value resulting
    from EU action, that is additional to the value that would have been otherwise
    created by Member States alone.
    Given the need to modify Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, the objectives of this initiative
    cannot be achieved by the Member States themselves. The EU added value remains
    the same.
    1.5.3. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
    The due diligence provisions of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 were also postponed.
    This was successfully done within three months of the Commission proposal.
    1.5.4. Compatibility with the multiannual financial framework and possible synergies with
    other appropriate instruments
    There is no impact on the multiannual financial framework.
    1.5.5. Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for
    redeployment
    No financing or redeployment is necessary.
