The latest draft of the proposed directive on hazardous substances in equipment is 2000/C 365 E/13 published in the OJ on 19.12.2000. It lists lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). These would be banned from 1 January 2008 with some listed exceptions for certain applications of lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium.

Looked at the waste directive (4th edition) and didn't see a reference to it. Anybody have an information on it (or did I either just miss it or am I looking at the wrong place?)
