"In the EU alone, an estimated 9.3 million tonnes of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are sold annually, the biggest share of which are large household appliances and IT and telecommunication equipment. As the market continues to grow and innovation cycles become increasingly shorter, the replacement of equipment accelerates, making waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) the fastest growing waste stream. The volume of WEEE items is estimated to grow to 12.3 million tonnes by 2020. The key aspects of this recast of the directive are as follows: open scope differentiation between RoHS and REACH modification of the exemption criteria criteria for deciding on the duration of exemption/grace periods codecision for future restrictions instead of comitology specific provisions on nanomaterials. I welcome that agreement was reached on first reading. I voted for this report as the new proposal for a directive is simpler and will offer manufacturers an easier instrument to use for classifying their products in the categories envisaged by the directive. It also takes into account the socio-economic impact linked to the protection of health and the environment when amending the exception criteria."@en1
