Report: UK to Delay WEEE Print E-mail
Contributed by Robin Norvell   
Tuesday, 13 December 2005
Shropshire, UK – UK Manufacturers may get another six-month reprieve to implement the EU’s WEEE legislation, if a report from B2B Compliance proves true.
 
According to the report, the government is considering a proposal to delay the legislation until June 2006, with producer responsibility commencing in January 2007.
 
As yet, however, no further delays have been posted on the Department of Trade and Industry’s Website. Last August, the DTI announced that responsibility would not commence until June 2006, pushing back the deadline (originally, Aug. 15, 2005, then delayed to January 2006) due to insufficient preparations.
