Targets for collection
At least four kilograms per inhabitant per year of WEEE from private households shall be collected as follows:
0.5 kg/inh per year 2014 1 kg/inh for year 2015 1.5 kg/inh for year 2016 2 kg/inh for year 2017 3 kg/inh for year 2018
45 % from the average weight of EEE placed on the market in the three preceding years in TCC.
65 % from the average weight of EEE placed on the market in the three preceding years in TCC, or alternatively 85 % of WEEE generated on the territory of TCC.
10
System for collection of WEEEEnsure that the disposal of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste
is minimised and a high level of separate collection of WEEE is achieved
Way of collection: Existing collection points (junk yards) Distributors chain – existing shops For all retail outlets the retailer must take back any small item of WEEE
in-store at no charge to the consumer At least one collection point per 15 000 inhabitants
Cost for final holders Final holders can return WEEE at least free of charge
Authorization of the site for collection Sites of the collection shall comply with technical standards
according the draft regulation and shall obtain the permits
11
What does WEEE consist of?
Ferrous Metal (Iron, stainless steel)Non-Ferrous Metal (aluminium, copper)PlasticsPrinted circuit boardsBatteriesCapacitorsLiquid crystal displaysCathode ray tubesMercury switches

Permits of the operators who collect and treat WEEE
Any establishment or undertaking who collect or/and transport ( including Distributors of EEE) WEEE or parts of WEEE shall hold the permit granted by the EPD
Any establishment or undertaking carrying out treatment operations as well as the storage of WEEE shall hold a valid permit granted from the EPD
Applied technologies on the sites for treatment shall be carry out in a way to ensure achievement of targets
The permit shall include all conditions, necessary for compliance with technical requirements pursuant the draft Regulation
Treatment plants need to be able to demonstrate these recycling rates are achieved

Obligations of producers / importers to provide information
Producers/ Importers or distributors must informed the users about:
their role in contributing to the collection of WEEE, the requirement not to dispose of WEEE as unsorted municipal
waste and to collect such WEEE separately available collection/return facilities,
Producers/ Importers must provide treatment facilities with all appropriate information to identify components, materials and the location of hazardous substances in the products
Producers / Importers shall provide free of charge information on dismantling and treatment in respect of each type of new EEE put on the market to reuse centres, treatment and recycling facilities
19
Obligations of producers/importers for labelling and marking
To minimising the disposal of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste and to facilitating its separate collection producers must appropriately mark placed on the market EEE with the symbol
Producer shall identify themselves by a visible, readable and durable mark on the appliance consisting of: The name of the physical or legal person and its TCC
statistical identification number. The date of manufacture / put on market after 13 August
2005.
Place of marking: on the equipment, service manual or instruction for use, warranty card or on the packaging
20
Obligations of producers-registrationEach Importers of EEE in TCC, shall be
registered in the public register of importers of EEE which will be kept by EPD
The application for registration in the Register of Importers of EEE shall be submitted to the Department within 10 days of the day of EEE were first imported in Turkish Cypriot Community
EPD shall enter the importers into the Register of Importers within 15 days of receipt of the application

Producers/Importers provide at least for the financing of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE from private households
For products placed on the market later than 13 August 2005, each producer shall be responsible for financing relating to the waste from his own products
The responsibility for the financing of the costs of the management of WEEE from products placed on the market on or before 13 August 2005 (‘historical waste’) shall be borne by importers in proportion to their respective share of the market by type of equipment
23
Obligations for producers/importers of EEE
other than private households
Financing of the costs for the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE from users other than private households resulting from products placed on the market after 13 August 2005 is to be provided for by producers/importers.
For historical waste being replaced by new equivalent products or by new products fulfilling the same function, the financing of the costs shall be provided for by producers of those products when supplying them.
For other historical waste, the financing of the costs shall be provided for by the users other than private households.
24
Implementation of Extended producers responsibilities
The producer/importers shall get together according to the coordination efforts of the EPD and establish Associations with legal personalities in order to fulfil their requirements on waste collection, transportation, recycling and disposal of waste generated at the end of economic life of their products. (The law on environment)
Fully private bodies (legal entities) should be established to represent the joint collective system of producers. These legal entities will be owned, managed, and supported by the obliged producers.
These legal entities should be authorized by EPD as a operators of the Extended Producer Responsibility System
Obligations of the producers/importers and the rules of running the system and the permit for establishing Extended Producer Responsibility System are set up in the draft WEEE regulation
By granting permission for operation of PRCS the state allows also importers to take responsibility for establishing the system and to finance appropriate activities under certain conditions.
25
Fees - Art.9 (8) of Law on environmnet The producer of EEE shall pay
the fee at the import of the equipment together with all duties.
The fee currently stands at 2 % by the single price of the imported equipment per categories 1, and 3% by the single price of the equipment per categories 2-10 referred to in Annex I
The fee as defined in Par.2 shall be paid in the account owned by the PRCS and is allowed to be used for covering the cost as follows:
Not less 60% of the money shall be spent to be subsidized the activities of collection and treatment of WEEE
Not more 10% of money shall be spent on information campaigns to raise awareness of citizens and businesses as regards requirements of regulation.
Not more 10% of the money shall be spent on administrative costs for the operation of PRCS.
Not less 20% of the money shall be spent for building up of installation for landfilling of WEEE.

Extended producers responsibilities
The concept of Extended Producer Responsibility is typically applied to those product and waste streams that pose high environment risks and generate high costs for collection and treatment:Hazrdouse substancies are part from EoLV,
WEEE, Bateries, waste oilsManual opretaions are carry out in oreder to
avoid the risk for environment and human healthHigher standards for the collection,
transportation, storage and treatment should be implemented
31
The collection cost for WEEE in various EU states are as follows:
Belgium - €45 per tonneFinland - €50 per tonneSpain - €80 per tonnePortugal - €26 per tonneAustria - €57 per tonne (€40/tonne – large
appliances; €55/tonne – refrigeration; TVs and monitors €85/tonne; small appliances - €52/tonne; lamps - €430/tonne)
