8. The purpose of the proposal is to add provisions supplementing the EU Regulation on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators to national legislation. The proposed amendments mainly concern the Waste Act. The present proposal is the last part of the implementation of the Batteries Regulation.
The proposal shall also implement an amendment to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive.
9. The proposal proposes the adoption of the national supplementary regulation necessary for the application of the Batteries Regulation. The Batteries Regulation and the Waste Act shall be applied in parallel. Insofar as the Batteries Regulation leaves room for national discretion, no regulation extending the requirements of the Regulation is proposed for national regulation. Several articles of the Regulation that provide national discretion, such as the fulfilment of obligations, where applicable, imposed on producers by an association of producers, correspond to the provisions of the Waste Act currently in force.
The proposal also proposes that the producer's liability for the costs of the waste management of electrical and electronic equipment be limited as required by the amendment to the WEEE Directive.
