A.
Methodologies applied and sources of data
A.1:
Methodology for the calculation of the quantity of EEE placed on the market
Please indicate the methodology used for the calculation of the quantity of EEE placed on the market in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/699 of 18 April 2017 establishing a common methodology for the calculation of the weight of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) placed on the market of each Member State and a common methodology for the calculation of the quantity of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) generated by weight in each Member State (OJ L 103, 19.4.2017, p. 17). ... |
A.2:
Methodology for the calculation of the WEEE collection rate
|
Total weight (tonnes) of EEE placed on the market (POM) of a Member State |
Year (one year before the reference year) |
|
Year (two years before the reference year) |
|
Year (three years before the reference year) |
|
Average weight of the three years= (sum of lines 1 + 2+3, divided by 3) |
|
A.3:
Source of data

(Table 1: column 2)
Please report the data on the weight of WEEE generated as calculated using the WEEE calculation tool and specify data updates of the WEEE calculation tool, if any. For Member States reporting the WEEE collection rate calculated on the basis of WEEE generated this data is obligatory. Member States reporting the WEEE collection rate calculated on the basis of the average weight of EEE placed on the market in the three preceding years may provide this data on a voluntary basis. ... |
(c)
WEEE collected
(Table 1: columns 3, 4, 5 and 6)
Please specify the sources used for the collection of data on WEEE collected through all routes. Please take into consideration that, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Directive 2012/19/EU, the quantity of WEEE collected shall be the amount of WEEE that has been: (a) received by collection and treatment facilities; (b) received by distributors; (c) separately collected by producers or third parties acting on their behalf. Please specifically state if systems have been set up to allow holders and distributors to return WEEE at least free of charge in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 2012/19/EU and provide information about the data that you may receive from these systems. ... |
(d)
Preparing for re-use, recycling and recovery of WEEE
(Table 2: columns 1, 2 and 5)
Please take into consideration that, pursuant to Article 11(2) of Directive 2012/19/EU, you shall use data on the weight of WEEE, its components and materials or substances entering (input) a preparing for re-use or recycling or recovery facility, after proper treatment in accordance with Article 8(2) of Directive 2012/19/EU. Please specify the sources used for data on preparing for re-use, recycling and recovery of WEEE pursuant to Article 11(4) of Directive 2012/19/EU. Please indicate the distinction between the input to a preparing for re-use facility, to a recycling facility, to an incineration (or smelting process) or to the (energy) recovery facility. ... |
(e)
WEEE Treated
(Table 2: columns 7, 8 and 9)
Please specify the sources used for the collection of data on WEEE treated in the Member State and on WEEE treated in another Member State or outside the Union. Please also give a general description of treatment systems available in the Member State and specify if treatment requirements or minimum quality standards for the treatment of collected WEEE in the Member State are different from or go beyond Annex VII of Directive 2012/19/EU. In such a case, please provide a description of these requirements or standards. ... |
B.
Quality of data sources/Process for validation of data
B.1:
Quality of data sources
Please describe the quality of the diverse sources used (including challenges with regard to the quality of the data and how you intend to improve the quality in the future). ... |
B.2:
Quality of estimations on EEE placed on the market under different categories
In case, prior to being collected by the Member States, data is collected by operators under EEE categories other than those specified in Directive 2012/19/EU, or under sub categories, please explain which EEE categories or sub-categories are applied and how data under these categories are transformed into data under the EEE categories of Directive 2012/19/EU |
B.3:
Monitoring of the achievement of the targets
Please provide a description of the national measures aimed at promoting the achievement of the collection, preparing for re-use and recycling, and recovery targets. Please also provide information about measures taken to inform users of EEE and encourage their participation in WEEE management in accordance with Article 14 of Directive 2012/19/EU. If quantities of WEEE ‘Treated in other Member States’ or ‘Treated outside of the EU’ are reported, please specify:
In case there is a requirement for documentary evidence additional to the proof required under Article 10(2) of Directive 2012/19/EU to be submitted for the approval of the export by the competent authorities, please describe the documentary evidence required. ... |
B.4:
Data alignment and consistency
Please describe actions undertaken to avoid double counting of imported WEEE, which shall not count towards the achievement of the targets and not be reported under treatment, preparing for re-use, recycling and recovery in the importing Member State. Please describe any corrections to account for imports and exports for instance to consider private imports and exports or misleading declarations (used EEE instead of WEEE) or others. ... |
B.5:
