lpv:spoken text	"I welcome the revision of the WEEE Directive. At present, there is a real lack of clarity regarding the products covered by the WEEE Directive and their categorisation, with different interpretations by different Member States and stakeholders. This is an area in desperate need of clarification. The lack of enforcement requirements has resulted in the directive being widely ignored; one cannot help but question the effectiveness of the current WEEE Directive. I support the WEEE Report and voted in favour of this recast but, as always, we must ensure that we do not place overly burdensome regulations on already struggling SMEs and retailers."@en1
