February 14th, 2017

Official WEEE database in Spain :

Workshop on“How can we improve information as regards collection of WEEE through all routes”

Begoña Fabrellas, PhDTechnical Adviser

General Subdirectorate of  Wastes

Transposition of Directive 2012/19/UE: Royal Decree 110/2015 on WEEE. 

OBJECTIVES OF ROYAL DECREE

Fulfillment of the new collection and recovery targets of WEEE. Improving the traceability and control: “Towards a new management model”.

Regulatory clarity: Description obligations throughout the chain of WEEE Consistency and homogeneity of management of WEEE statewide.  Market unity: 

‐ Unique WEEE database instrument.‐ Systematizing the reporting.

Encourage the principles of hierarchy and to promote job creation in the WEEE sector.Optimize the Extended Producer Responsibility in the organization and financing of management of WEEE. 

BASIC ELEMENTS of RD 110/2015

o Unique instrument of coordination: Working Group WEEE 

Database of collected WEEE (The electronic  platform of WEEE)Allocation office for collected WEEE

o Role of distributors. o Upgrading of collection facilities in municipalities.o Coding LER‐WEEE.o Setting collection targets at regional level (17 territories).o Technical annexes.o Targets for preparation for re‐use from 2017.o Unique national authorization of Producer Organizations (Law 22/2011).

Law 11/2007 of electronic access of citizens to Public ServicesLaw 17/2009 on free access to activities of services an their exerciseLaw 39/2015 on the Common Administrative Procedure of the PublicAdministrations

Administrative procedures:

Law 22/2011 of wastes and contaminated soils• Article 40 and 41 and Ninth Additional provision: Electronic processing

Environmental Legislation:

Electronic Administration on Processing the data

This type of tools will be empowered after the creation of the Ministry ofEnergy, Tourism and the Digital Agenda

The electronic platform on WEEE is set up as the instrument through which tocomply with the obligations of the chronological record and the annual report oncollection facilities as per with Article 40 and 41 of Law 22/2011, of 28 July.

E‐Platforms of Producer Organizations on WEEE datacollection from operators

E‐tools of operators to record data

Background experiences

E‐Platform Project of Dealers in Catalonia(PRO/FECE/Cat)

E‐Platform of Association of Dealers in Galicia (ADEN)

Experiences in other Member States

Single source of information on the collection and management ofWEEE at the state, regional and municipal level: Unique OfficialDatabase on WEEE collection and management.Availability of data of all channels and its control to the competentadministrations and fulfill the information obligations to the EuropeanCommission.Administrative coordination. Improvement in efficiency for operatorsand administrations. Implementing of Electronic ReportingCoordination with Other Official E‐Database: Waste ProducersRegister/Operators Register/National Shipment WastesPlatform/Customs DatabaseHomogenization of WEEE data for WEEE managers and EEE producersorganizations.Key element of the WEEE Working Group to carry out its tasks.

Objectives of the platform in RD 110/2015: Proper accounting the WEEE collection and compliance objectives. Article 16(4)

Under Allocation of PRO

Authorized managers  hired

The waste manager (hired or allocated) transport the requested WEEE.The withdrawal is carried out.The collection point/distributor records the output of that waste in the WEEE platform software

Next steps of managementNext operator records the input of the wastes by the barcode and theinformation is loaded in the platformNew barcodes could be created in the output. Manteinance the trazability

MAPAMA: Data query, data exploit and platform management.AA: Data Query of WEEE collected and managed in its territory and exploitdata.

WEEE Operators: Recording and consultation of their WEEE movements.Consultation and extraction of the chronological archive and annualreports.Extended producer responsibility Organizations: Consultation andextraction of collected WEEE data treated in different formats. Follow upconditions of contracting on collection and sending to authorizedtreatment installations for treatment. Access to fulfil their reportingobligations from an Unique and homogeneous database.Allocation Office: Consultation and extraction of the information indifferent formats to allocate collections to PRO. Registers all EPR collectiondata..

Who accesses the electronic WEEE platform?

17 Autonomous Environmental Authorities

Web services. Loading data inputs and outputs of WEEE facilities. It offersconsulting services for MAPAMA, Autonomous Authorities, other competentauthorities and for Organizations of extended producer responsibility.External web. Allows WEEE managers and EEE distributors to load inputs andoutputs of WEEE as well as to consult their chronological files and annualreports.Internal portal. Makes it possible for both the MAPAMA staff and theAutonomous Communities to consult the data of the chronological files andthe annual reports of their areas.Connection with

Official Register or Producers and Managers of Wastes under Law22/2011Other Official National Wastes databases of public administrations suchas the Registry of Put on the Market of Producers of EEE , the CustomsServices, Wastes Shipment National Register.

Computing supports: What is included in the electronic WEEE platform?

2015After Fist Design. Pilot testing of data load in the WEEE electronic platform throughWeb Services

2016:First step of Pilot Project Pilot testing.

Collection operators‐Municipalities and distributors with own websitesSecond step of Pilot Project testing.

Managers operators in testing web servicesDesign of web portal of MAGRAMAConnexion/Access to the MAGRAMA portal through web servicesProject pilot to Connexion of retailers and managers with external webThird step of Pilot Project testingConnexion of authorities to access database

2017Improvement by incorporation of more management operatorsMarch Open to analysis and connexion of PRO platformsImprovement by inclusion of PRORedaction/Publication of Ministerial Order to establish obligations

Schedule for execution

All improvements and comments has been and will bewelcome for achieving the goal : Improve the informationto Competent Authorities about WEEE collection andmanagement through all routes

IT IS PARTICIPATIVE PROJECT OF ALL OPERATORS THAT AREOBLIGATED TO REPORT INFORMATION TO AUTHORITIES UNDER RD110/2015.PREVENTS DATA INPUT OF OPERATORS TO SEVERAL PLATFORMS OFPRO (11 PROS IN SPAIN). UNIFORMITY OF DATA. UNIQUE SOURCEOF OFFICIAL DATA.DEFINITION, DESIGN AND PILOT PROJEC IS FUNDED BY THEGOVERMENT.ONCE IT WAS IN OPERATION IT WOULD BE COFINANCED BYPRODUCERS OF EEE IN 45%.
