The results of an Environment Agency survey have shown that over 3000 businesses have signed-up with one of 37 approved WEEE compliance schemes. This was required by 15th March 2007 under the WEEE Regulations 2006 (reported in the January edition of In Touch). The Agency is urging those businesses that produce, re-brand or import electrical or electronic equipment (“EEE”) to sign-up to such a scheme, stating that “signing up late is better than leaving it altogether. Unregistered producers will have committed an offence under the WEEE Regulations, and risk prosecution.
