Appendix B - Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Statement
July, 2005
The WEEE directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers to take-
back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the
products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-Tech products imported into the EU as of August
13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery
from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
