The WEEE and the RoHS Directives were both implemented into German law by the “Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz” (referred to as the ElektroG hereafter) which came into force on 24 March 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 applications given to the national authorities by the WEEE Directive.
