lpv:translated text	". Today, waste electrical and electronic equipment, such as televisions and household appliances, are disposed of without these products undergoing any specific treatment. Almost 6 million tonnes of waste are produced every year in Europe, an average of 16 kg per capita. Yet, these products contain toxic substances that are harmful to the environment such as lead, cadmium and mercury. I therefore believe that it is crucial to adopt legislation which will enable us to manage this waste more efficiently and to urge manufacturers to take an active part in the collection system. Currently, consumers assume part of the responsibility by sorting their waste, which they are asked to do. Local authorities have also taken on some responsibility by providing specific equipment. It is logical, therefore, that manufacturers play a part in this collective effort. It is essential that manufacturers make an effective financial contribution to the collection system for their product(s). However, we must have realistic collection objectives so that they can be applicable. We must also exclude from this system those products which seem particularly difficult to collect, such as incandescent lamps, for example. This text offers a perspective for preventing electrical and electronic waste and for developing systems to recover and re-use this waste."@en1
