The paper has been seen as a contribution serving to development of respective national legal instrument transposing Community acquis into the legal system of the Republic of Serbia. The paper contains a detailed review of Directive 2000/53/EC which regulates management of the vehicles on their end-of-life cycle. Whereas the respective issues regulated by that Directive rely on and make use of a number of other legal instruments (directives, regulations, decisions) regulating waste management, hazardous waste, vehicle categorization etc., author's intention was to provide their comprehensive review based on insight into the all legal norms regulating them. Due to exceptional significance of notion and terminology problemacy and necessity of providing adequate English terms equivalents in Serbian, a due attention has been dedicated to those issues.
