Recently, the European Parliament voted to adopt the European Battery Regulation. According to the legislative process of the European Union, after approval by the Council of the European Union, this regulation will enter into force after 20 days and be enforced in the EU member states.

It should be emphasized that the European Battery Regulation will be the first legal document in the world to regulate the entire life cycle of batteries. Like the very aggressive emission regulations on internal combustion engines, the EU legislation on batteries is also very cutting-edge: both from the point of view of carbon emissions, and from the point of view of promoting the recycling of resources, have put forward clear requirements for battery companies.
