Public consultation

The public consultation on the WEEE evaluation closed on 22 September. The objectives of the public consultation were to assess effectiveness and impact towards the circular economy policy objectives, and to identify shortcomings with implementation and enforcement.

Second stakeholder workshop

As part of the preparation for the public consultation on 19 October, Ramboll together with Environmental Agency Austria (EAA) and Oeko-institute on behalf of the European Commission, organised a second workshop organized to share the interim results of the public consultation. The preliminary conclusions on effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and EU-added value were examined.

Next steps

The consultant will now revise the interim report together with the Commission and draft the final report till the end of November 2023. This final report is expected to be published in January 2024.

According to the European Commission, the review of WEEE Directive would possibly come at the end of 2026 at the earliest. Nevertheless, the timeline that the European Parliament has set on the draft report of ENVI adapting the current framework to case C181/201 is at the latest the end of 2025, so it is still an open discussion.
