European Parliament Slams RoHS Commission

For the first time since the adoption of regulations guiding the decision-making processes for European Commission committees in 1999, the European Parliament stated this week that the Commission had exceeded its implementing powers regarding the Commission's work waste handling. Parliament found that the Commission gave RoHS exemptions where alternatives were clearly available, thus exceeding its mandate. The Commission is now obliged to re-examine the draft decision.
