The Ministry of Environment finalized the draft Legislative Decree onWEEE which transposes both 2002/96 and 2002/95 on 12 January 2005. It now has to be approved successively by the Prime Ministers’ office, the environment commission of Parliament and the Conference of the Regions.Final approval by the Environment Minister is expected in May/June 2005.The Decree will be complemented by several orders (concerning the central register, financing mechanism and marking) no later than 6 months after the Decree has come into force.
Key provisions discussed:
• Collection of WEEE from households: Tax-financed municipal collection centres to accept WEEE from retailers and consumers free of charge. 1:1 take back at retailers. Producers to finance from collection centres onwards.
• Central register: A National Register is to be set up close to the Ministry of Environment. Initially the draft foresaw the Chambers of Commerce responsible for Central Register, but industry lobbied for a single independent body. EEE importers must register with the Chamber of Commerce as producers. The chamber’s list is used to check the Central Register’s producer list.
• Marking: A sub-decree might stipulate a transitional period without producer identification until a EU-wide identification system is in place.
• System: Requirements to be defined in separate decree.
