Lots of people believe accessories do not fall into RoHS Directive but NWML seems to make it clear that the necessary accessories do fall into RoHS Directive regardless of coming with the unit or selling separately.  It appears to clear up the confusion to the accessories suppliers that they cannot avoid this directive by taking them out from the unit, i.e., aerial lead for TVs & video recorders, connecting cables for components and video recorders, etc.

Richard,

  The first is a definite yes:

  The second is a good question.

  Two questions:

Scenario #1 - You have a cell phone belt clip attached to a cell phone.
That cell phone & clip was shipped into the EU in the same box, as a
complete set. That cell phone shows up at a WEEE recycling center with
the clip attached. Did RoHS regulations apply to the original cell
phone belt clip? Do WEEE regulations come into effect covering that
belt clip?

Scenario #2 - That same cell phone has an after market face plate
attached to it. It shows up at a WEEE recycling facility. Does this
after market face plate need to be RoHS compliant and be covered by
WEEE?
