"I fully support the decision to update the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Directive. The hazardous substances often produced by waste from electrical and electronic equipment can cause huge health and environment risks. By ensuring that waste is recycled and reused, the directive will improve the environmental performance of producers and distributors. New targets for recycling, reusing and collecting waste include an 85% collection rate for Member States. The updated directive will also harmonise Member States’ reporting and regulation measures, in order to simplify administrative procedures and cut costs for companies. I am certain that approving the amendments to this directive has the potential to produce health and environmental benefits and will contribute to the objectives of the EU’s resource efficiency agenda. However, in light of the cuts facing local authorities, it is important that councils wanting to introduce kerbside collection are supported financially by producers."@en1
