Mr. Matthew Collins:

The eVMC provides a collection scheme for the retailers. The point of the eVMC being applied is it will not be the case that an unauthorised van can collect the tyres. In that scenario, a retailer is paying another operator to take away his tyres. However, this scheme arranges for his tyres to be taken away. The retailer is opting to pay for a service that is provided under this compliance scheme. An economic choice has to be made by operators. Are they going to pay for the service or will they participate in the collection service provided by the scheme? It does not make sense for a retailer to pay for a service that is provided by this scheme. His registered tyres are collected by the scheme but he will opt out of the scheme.
