The Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) industry stands firmly alongside the EU in working to
achieve ambitious climate and environmental protection goals, significantly contributing to saving
energy, resources and greenhouse gas emissions. While we support the EU’s efforts to establish a
suitable legislative framework for environmental and climate protection, we are writing to you today
to express our profound concern regarding the proposed unitary own resource of €2/kg on noncollected e-waste within the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the EU’s long-term budget.
This planned initiative is an inadequate answer to the e-waste collection objectives of the EU and
requires urgent correction to effectively promote environmental protection.
