It is viable, they do have to register, they may have to set up an escrow
account. It is at the discretion of the country concerned when they
register.

Program

If they are a "producer" I believe they will, in fact, not be in compliance
with the WEEE directive or most if not all the laws that implement it. I
recall looking in to this a couple years ago and, while it's a viable part
of a compliance program, the company may still have to register and may even
have to join a local scheme.

On the other hand if they are taking this approach with you, and you are an
OEM that rebrands then resells their server product you (or your
VARs/distributors) are the WEEE stuck-ee and it barely matters what your
suppliers think their responsibilities are...unless you pass some of your
responsibilities back to them.
