Article 9 – paragraph 3
(3) By 31 December 2030, the Commission shall assess the feasibility of measures to phase out the use of non- rechargeable portable batteries of general use in view of minimising their environmental impact based on the life cycle assessment methodology. In the process, account should also be taken of value for money for end users. Appliances whose functionality is not guaranteed if rechargeable batteries are incorporated into them should be exempted from these measures. To that end, the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council and consider taking the appropriate measures, including the adoption of legislative proposals.
