1. What is the regulation of WEEE? (Waste
Electrical & Electronic
Equipment) |
|
|
The directive of the European Union for handling
WEEE (Directive 2002/96/EC)
The legislation for the sound recovery and disposal of
WEEE in EU (13th Feb., 2003)
The each country of EU has brought in force the laws,
regulations, and administrative provisions necessary to
comply with the EC treaty, clause 175 (The Object: the
environmental conservation itself). |
