If the EU Govenrment has a directive and a date, isnt it required of ALL EU members to follow these dates and NOT go out on there own and change dates and anything else? by the way, is there anything specific on the Netherlands and the WEEE...I'd like to know more on that country. we will plan on applying the WEEE wheely bin label in August, but I'd like to know exactly whats going on if possible. thank you.

As I understand it, the Basic Law at the Federal level has been passed in Germany but the various Länder (local states) still have to pass their enabling legislation. Can someone from Germany confirm this please? If true, does it mean that the law could apply in some Länder before others, or is there a synchronising mechanism? >From the information I have, the WEEE Directive seems to be the biggest problem in the biggest countries (UK, Italy, France and Germany). Smaller countries, be they older members (e.g.Belgium and the Netherlands) or recent accession countries (e.g. Hungary and Slovakia) seem to have their legislative act together. I'm not sure about medium sized countries, such as Spain and Poland. Perhaps others could confirm or correct? {To clarify, by small, medium and large I do not mean geographic area, but rather weighted voting rights within the EU legal system (and correspondingly within the ESOs - European Standards Organisations).} Richard Hughes ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
