The WEEE and RoHS Directives have been transposed into Cyprus national law by the Solid and Hazardous Waste (Electric and Electronic Equipment) Regulations of 2004 (hereinafter called “the WEEE Regulations”), which in turn were issued in accordance with section 5 of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Law (N. 215(i)/2002). The WEEE Regulations came into force on 13 August 2005.
Note: Underlined sections are not in line with the WEEE Directive and/or the FAQ Document of the European Commission (http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/pdf/faq_weee.pdf). However, this does not mean that the national law violates European law. The discrepancies are part of the range of application given to the national authorities by the WEEE Directive.
