"Dividing batteries into three categories, as proposed in the common position, seems to me a sensible compromise. Taking into account the fact that some cadmium batteries cannot be replaced at the present time, it would be inadvisable to impose a blanket ban, since some success has been achieved in collecting and recycling certain of them in recent times, particularly industrial versions.
It would be rational, however, to impose a complete ban on portable batteries as it is highly likely that they will end up in landfills. As for the minimum targets for collecting spent batteries and accumulators, for which the target of 25% after six years seems an achievable goal, it strikes me as a sensible suggestion that in the enlarged European Union the feasibility of the second, ten-year target be tested in the meantime. This would be done on the basis of actual experiences going back several years in the 25 countries, among which there are now marked differences in the systems of collection and recycling. To this end we would need to set up a system of verification."@en1
