Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform written question – answered at on 11 July 2007.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what assessment his Department has made of the (a) financial and (b) other impacts of the implementation of the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment Regulations and the necessary registration to Valpak on smaller retailers.
A full Regulatory Impact Assessment was published alongside the WEEE Regulations and provides an estimate of the costs and benefits of the implementation on smaller retailers. Retailers of electrical and electronic equipment are required to be a member of the Distributor Takeback Scheme (DTS) operated by Valpak Retail WEEE Services Ltd unless they offer in store take-back.
As part of the Government's desire to keep the costs down for SMEs the DTS registration fees have been tiered, based on the levels of sales of electrical and electronic equipment.
