"I believe that the efficient and innovative use of energy, materials and resources is a key issue in a globalised economy.
As the report in question points out, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) represents the fastest-growing waste stream in the EU. The WEEE directive currently in force requires the Member States to carry out separated collections of electrical and electronic equipment and sets recovery and recycling targets.
A number of problems relating to implementation have come to light during the process of revising the directive. In particular, the problem of expanding the scope of the directive has emerged. Experience with the directive has revealed a huge diversity in Member States’ interpretation and application of it. Proposing a definitive list of products would not be feasible because the electrical and electronics market is a rapidly changing one, so the directive would have to be revised continually and would never be up to date.
I therefore think it is essential both to work towards better harmonisation of the WEEE Directive and also to reduce the administrative costs to small and medium-sized enterprises in the sector, without damaging the level of environmental protection."@en1
