    The Court:

    1.

    Declares that, by failing to adopt all the laws and regulations necessary to ensure the correct and complete transposition of Article 2.13, Article 4(2)(a), Article 5(3) and (4), in so far as, for the latter paragraph, demolishers which have accepted to take back an end-of-life vehicle for destruction are excluded from the system of compensation for costs of treatment, Article 7(1) and Article 8(3) of Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on end-of-life vehicles, the French Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive;

    2.

    Dismisses the action as to the remainder;

    3.

    Orders the European Commission and the French Republic to bear their own respective costs.
