Enforcing RoHS on firms outside the EU

"Both the WEEE and the RoHS Directives place obligations under the concept of “producer responsibility”. The “producer” is legally responsible for ensuring that all producer obligations so it is essential for manufacturers to determine early on whether or not they are the “producer” in any Member State. One would hope that the Directive itself would be clear on this matter and leave no room for ambiguity but unfortunately this does not appear to be the case." Source: electronicsweekly.com
