We are so far behind the 8-ball with WEEE it is a little overwhelming.  We are just starting to figure out how we need to register in each country.  I did a search on the forum, and saw a question from someone regarding whether there is a list somewhere of who to contact in each country to register, and there was no really good response.  Just wondering if anyone has an update on that, as well as the easiest way to get English forms out of many of the countries.

Secondly, the label must be "Visible, legible, durable".
If one has a modular type system, with cards which can be swapped out, I am assuming one should put a label on each module.  Can I put it on a part that would only be visible once the card slides out of the chassis?  I was also planning to put one on the chassis itself.

Is anyone else getting the impression that WEEE is largely an administration challenge, with technical aspects only a very minor part of it?  Registration, reporting, determining costs, fees, volume of sales etc.  RoHS compliance is the technically challenging one.
