"The European Parliament is paving the way for the recasting of the directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which will enable consumers to return their small appliances to retailers free of charge with no obligation to purchase a new product. Through my vote, I argued in favour of improving the collection and recycling of WEEE. I support this agreement, which is based on ambitious yet achievable objectives. This directive strengthens the objectives of selective collection, broadens the scope and imposes new return and treatment obligations on producers and retailers. It is a significant step forward for the environment and for the consumer. The annual collection target per Member State of 4 kg per inhabitant has been transformed into a collection rate of 45% of the WEEE placed on the market in the three preceding years by 2016, then a collection rate of 65% in 2019. Finally, the directive, while reducing administrative formalities for producers, who are responsible for financing waste management, changes the definition of producer, which now covers any ‘entity placing equipment on the market’."@en1
