ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE

A focus of the Committee is the WEEE Directive-EU Directive on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment and the RoHS Directive-EU Directive on the Restriction Of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The Committee communicates actively with EU policy makers based on the position papers.


The committee has recently followed the development of several other key issues in the field of EU environment policy, including the discussions over EU new chemicals policy and the energy efficiency requirement for end-use equipment. Concrete legislation is expected soon for both issues and the JBCE Environment Committee will accelerate its discussions on those issues and also start to communicate with EU policy makers as well as other stakeholders.
