Amendment 1
Recital 8

(8) The objective of improving the management of WEEE
cannot be achieved effectively by Member States acting individ-
ually. In particular, different national applications of the pro-
ducer responsibility principle lead to substantial disparities in
the financial burden on economic operators. Having different
national policies on the management of WEEE hampers the
effectiveness of national recycling policies.

(8) The objective of improving the management of WEEE

ually. In particular, different national applications of the pro-
ducer responsibility principle lead to substantial disparities in
the financial burden on economic operators. Having different
national policies on the management of WEEE hampers the
effectiveness of national recycling policies. For that reason
the essential criteria (definition of terms, scope, collection
and recovery objectives) should be harmonised at Euro-
pean level.
