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 repaired and 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-

Having regard to the waste hierarchy priorities and the environmental impact of transport and without prejudice of the application of the "producer's responsibility" principle, the access to separately collected WEEE by repair and re-use local operators shall be promoted."
