OPINION on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directives 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, 2006/66/EC on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators, and 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment

Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) The industrial landscape has substantially changed in recent years, as a result of technology advance and of increasing globalised flows of merchandise. These factors pose new challenges to the environmental- responsible management and treatment of waste that must be addressed by a combination of increased research efforts and of targeted regulatory tools. Planned obsolescence is an expanding issue, intrinsically contradictory with the goals of a circular economy, that must be addressed with views to rooting it out, through a concerted effort of all main stakeholders, industry, customers and regulatory authorities.

Recital 2 b (new)
(2b) The end-of-life moment of a technological product and its subsequent recycling or recovery must be considered at the stage of the product design. Manufacturers should be requested to design their products with a view to an efficient recycling or recovery, and to provide efficient instructions for operators that will carry out those operations. The principles already tested with success for the Ecodesign legislation should be expanded in order to provide a modern and succinct regulatory framework. The European Union should show its technological and industrial leadership also in this dimension. Data provided by current recycling or recovery facilities could provide invaluable information for feeding such initiatives.

In this context, Member States shall take appropriate measures so that the ecodesign requirements facilitating re-use and treatment of WEEE established in the framework of Directive 2009/125/EC are applied and producers do not prevent, through specific design features or manufacturing processes, WEEE from being re-used, unless such specific design features or manufacturing processes present overriding advantages, for example, with regard to the protection of the environment and/or safety requirements." lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:197:0038:0071:en:PDF)Or. en (http://eur-
