"I voted in favour of this important directive. Its purpose is to contribute to sustainable production and consumption, above all, through the prevention of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and, in addition, the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste, so as to reduce the disposal of waste, and contribute to the efficient use of resources and the retrieval of critical raw materials. This directive also seeks to improve the environmental performance of all operators involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment, such as producers, distributors and consumers, particularly those operators directly involved in the collection and treatment of WEEE. Different national applications of the producer responsibility principle lead to substantial disparities in the financial burden on economic operators, and having different national policies on the management of WEEE hampers the effectiveness of recycling policies. I agree that the essential criteria should be laid down at Union level, and European standards for the collection and treatment of WEEE should be developed."@en1
