Estonia and Cyprus face Court action over hazardous substances in EEE

摘要

The European Commission took action last week against Cyprus and Estonia for their failure to meet legislation on the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) - the so-called RoHS Directive. The Commission is urging Cyprus to send details about how RoHS is being implemented into its national law. Not only has Cyprus failed in this regard, it has also, in a separate case, not enacted technical measures on exemptions for certain equipment containing lead.
