Producers from the categories 1-7 have been preparing for legislation

enactment since 2002 and conformed the funding of return to this

philosophy

lamps since 2003

Financing of WEEE

Equal conditions for financing for all producers in the market

Separated financing for historic and new WEEE

Base = visible fees for historic equipmentPossibility to show visible contributions by 2013, and/or by

2015

Financing of new equipment by separate, invisibly shown fees

Creation of blocked provisions from contributions for historic and new electric equipment so that no producer is going to bear a burden for a bankrupt producer or producer that leaves Czech market in future

Use of experience of the systems already existing in EU
