Subject: [TN] FW: Exemption request round 6

So from the look of it, the public stakeholder consultation along with the
environmental issues at stake are not the main driver. Note the comment
below:

 

“concerning your request for exemption for "All electronics assemblies using
lead in solder", I can inform you that the Commission has taken the view
that it does not meet the requirements of Article 5 (1) (b) of the RoHS
Directive. In fact, alternatives for lead in solders clearly exist and are
widely used.”

Dear Mr Burke,

Thank you for your e-mail of 4 June 2007 on Directive 2002/95/EC on the
restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment (RoHS).

The sixth stakeholder consultation on a package of exemptions closed on 10
January 2007. The non-confidential stakeholder submissions to this
consultation are published at the following web site:
<http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/events_en.htm>
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/events_en.htm.

The Commission has also concluded a Technical Assistance Contract with the
Öko-Institut, Institut für angewandte Ökologie e.V., Freiburg, for the
review of the exemption requests based on this Directive.  The Öko-Institut
is reporting to the Commission at regular intervals.  The report is expected
to be finalised in October 2007.  Once the report has been finalised, it
will be published on the above mentioned website as well.

Furthermore, concerning your request for exemption for "All electronics
assemblies using lead in solder", I can inform you that the Commission has
taken the view that it does not meet the requirements of Article 5 (1) (b)
of the RoHS Directive. In fact, alternatives for lead in solders clearly
exist and are widely used. 

Best regards,

Anna Passera

Good afternoon,

 

I have had many enquires as to when the consultants will be releasing the
results of the round 6 exemption requests? Is there an anticipated time
frame for this? I would appreciate it if you could update me on this.
