Directive 2012/19/EU

(-1a) The following Article is inserted: Article 1a Review 1 1. No later than 31 December 2026, the Commission shall propose a comprehensive revision of Directive 2012/19/EU accompanied by an extensive socio-economic impact assessment. In accordance with the polluter-pays principle, the revision shall ensure that the costs of waste management, including those incurred for the necessary infrastructure and its operation, are borne either by the original waste producer or by the current or previous waste holders. 2. Regarding photovoltaic panels specifically, the Commission shall include in the evaluation of its impact assessment the possibility to: (a) exclude photovoltaic panels from the scope of WEEE Directive and create a new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation dedicated to all renewable energy-related products and equipment; (b) establish under the WEEE Directive a new category 7 “photovoltaic panels” in order to separate photovoltaic panels from the WEEE category 4 “large equipment” in Annexes III and IV; (c) calculate the collection targets on the basis of waste photovoltaic panels available for collection based on their projected lifetime, rather than on the quantity of products placed on the market; (d) establish a mechanism to ensure that in case of failure or liquidation of the producer, the future costs of collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of waste from photovoltaic panels from both private households and users other than private households will be covered financially.
