Aim of the consultation
This consultation invites your views on the Government’s proposals for the draft legislation to implement Directives 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the WEEE Directive) and on the draft non-statutory guidance.
Following earlier consultations in 2003 and 2004, in December 2005 the Government undertook a review of the implementation of the Directive. The conclusions of the review were published in March 2006. The proposals set out in this document take account of informal discussions held with the stakeholder community including producers, retailers, the reprocessing and recycling industries, charities, refurbishment industries and local authorities.
