What i find amazing is that the exemption report will come out in July,
after the RoHS compliance date. So that means if you've applied for an
exemption you have effectively 'unofficially' gained a stay of execution
whether its granted or not. We'd all like 6 months more, but the majority
of blue-chip companies have worked very hard to get to July only to find
that there are a number of other less scrupulous companies who have taken
the option to just look for excuses. What is the NWML view on this? and
how will they police the exemptions??
That's apart from the China RoHS report which reads 'we are nearly ready
but not'
All stems from no real steering committee in the first place
just having a rant!!

Paul

Subject: [LF] DTi - unofficial note
The UK Department of Trade and Industry have posted an "Unofficial note"
of the meeting of the "Technical Adaptation Committee on the WEEE and RoHS
Directives" held in Brussels on 15 February 2006.
You will find it on their web
<http://www.dti.gov.uk/sustainability/weee/TAC_15Feb06.pdf >
The report gives a some insight on what is happening about allowing or
denying the various RoHS exemption applications that are in the pipeline.
The Commission has engaged the Öko-Institut to review the 50 or so
exemption requests that it has received since the completion of the first
stakeholder consultation exercise in February last year. The Öko-Institut
is reporting on a monthly basis to the Commission, which then decides
whether to put specific exemption proposals to the TAC for vote.
The Commission proposed the adoption of six new exemptions but - following
discussions with Member States - withdrew one of these. A Qualified
Majority Vote was reached on the remaining five.
The meeting report also has details of a discussion on the interpretation
of "Fixed Installation".
