evidence: They have another plan. Cars that have not undergone a technical inspection for more than two years must be scrapped, even if parked on your private property. [...] EU plans to start confiscating old cars! Soon, they could come for your car in the yard: You can no longer decide whether and when your car is ready for the scrapyard. The Commission's proposal strongly violates individuals' rights to their property. As well as the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. [...] Part of the proposal is a more precise definition of ELVs to ensure there is a better distinction between them and used vehicles. What possibly triggered the misunderstanding of the Commission's proposal is Part B of Annex I Criteria. One criterion says, "it has not had its required national technical roadworthiness test for more than two years from the date when this was last required." That's just one of the criteria for defining ELVs, and there's no mention of banning citizens from keeping a car for scrap in their private yards.
