• EU taxonomy environmental delegated act (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/14874-Sustainable-investment-review-of-the-EU-taxonomy-environmental-delegated-act_en )

The following points, among others, were set out in the preliminary remarks regarding retreaded tyres:

Technical screening criteria for road transport activities should be revised to improve the usability of the do no significant harm (DNSH) criterion on pollution prevention and control and to ensure that the criterion focuses on the prevention of significant harm, by adding a Taxonomy filter in the EPREL database and enlarging the scope of eligible tyres. In addition, it should be specified that re-treaded tyres are temporarily exempted from applying that criterion, as they do not figure in the EPREL database, while figuring in the database is a pre-condition for the application of the EU Taxonomy technical screening criteria.

The feedback period is open until April 14, 2026, and the adoption by the European Commission is planned for the second quarter 2026.
