UK’s DTI fails to implement WEEE directive

Issue #0525/4 - Registration procedure postponed till June 2006.

Despite an original requirement to comply with Europe’s WEEE directive by this month, the UK’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has pushed the compliance date further back to June of 2006.

Having already postponed introduction of the compliance registration till January 2006, the DTI blames the failure on the fact that the directive is challenging and needs a high degree of preparation to ‘get it right’.
