Subject: Consultation of interested parties on the amendment of Directive
200/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances
in electrical and electronic equipment
Dear Madam, Sir,
Pursuant to Article 4(1) of Directive 2002/95/EC1 on the restriction of the
use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, as
from 1 July 2006 new electric and electronic equipment put on the market
should not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated
biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
Article 5 of Directive 2002/95/EC relates to the adaptation to scientific and
technical progress. Amendment of the Annex of the Directive should be done in
accordance with the procedure stated in Article 5(2): "Before the Annex is
amended and pursuant to paragraph 1, the Commission shall inter alia consult
producers of electrical and electronic equipment, recyclers, treatment operators,
environmental organisations and employee and consumers associations. Comments
shall be forwarded to the Committee referred in Article 7(1). The Commission
shall provide an account of the information it receives."
The Commission services have prepared a draft Commission Decision
establishing maximum concentration values pursuant to Article 5(1)(a) of Directive
2002/95EC. The proposed values have been discussed at the Technical Adaptation
Committee (TAC) meetings this year.
The Commission services are giving all stakeholders the opportunity to
communicate in writing their positions related to the amendment related Article
5(1)(a) of Directive 2002/95/EC. In particular, the Commission services invite
interested parties to comment on proposed limit values outlined in the
Consultation Document.
Interested parties are invited to send their comments by 9 January 2004 at
