COMMISSION DECISION
of 3 May 2005

(notified under document number C(2005) 1355)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 7(3) and the third subparagraph of Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In order to make the data produced by Member States comparable, the mode of calculating compliance with the targets in Article 7(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC should be harmonised, in terms of presentation. |
(2) |
Balancing the risks of inaccuracies against the administrative burden of achieving precise information, Member States should be allowed to use estimates when determining the amount of materials and components of waste electrical and electronic equipment which is recovered, reused or recycled. |
(3) |
Pursuant to Article 6(5) of Directive 2002/96/EC the treatment operation may also be undertaken outside the respective Member State or the Community, provided that the shipment of waste is in compliance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 of 1 February 1993 on the supervision and control of shipments of waste within, into and out of the European Community (2). Member States sending waste electrical and electronic equipment for treatment in other Member States or exporting such waste for treatment in third countries should be allowed to count the exported amount towards the targets set out in Article 7(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC on condition that the waste was collected by the exporting Member State. |
(4) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC (3), |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

1.Member States shall demonstrate compliance with the recovery, reuse and recycling rates set out in Article 7(2) of Directive 2002/96/EC by completing Table 2 set out in the Annex to this Decision.

-
2.Where waste electrical and electronic equipment is exported for treatment in a third country, or is sent for treatment in another Member State in accordance with Article 6(5) of Directive 2002/96/EC, only the Member State which has collected and exported that waste equipment may count it towards the targets set out in Article 7(2) of that Directive.
