Chun saincheisteanna a bhaineann le bainistíocht DTLL sna Ballstáit a shainaithint agus chun tacú leo dul i ngleic le saincheisteanna den sórt sin, rinne an Coimisiún tionscnamh maidir le comhlíonadh DTLL a chur chun cinn, inar cuireadh moltaí ar fáil do na Ballstáit chun bailiú DTLL a mhéadú.
To identify issues relating to WEEE management in the Member States and to support them in addressing such issues, the Commission conducted a WEEE compliance promotion initiative, providing recommendations to Member States to help increase the collection of WEEE.
#2935998
Ba cheart go gcuideodh comhpháirtíochtaí idir eagraíochtaí athúsáide agus oibreoirí scéimeanna aisghlactha, amhail dáileoirí, gnólachtaí príobháideacha, eagraíochtaí um fhreagracht táirgeoirí, fiontair shóisialta agus eintitis agus carthanais an gheilleagair shóisialta leis an ullmhú le haghaidh athúsáide a uasmhéadú, mar shampla, trí scaradh DTLL a spreagadh atá le hullmhú lena n-athúsáid ó DTLL eile a bhailítear ar leithligh agus trí rochtain ar DTLL a bhailítear ar leithligh a thabhairt do phearsanra ó ionaid athúsáide.
Partnerships between reuse organisations and operators of take-back schemes, such as distributors, private businesses, producer responsibility organisations, social enterprises and social economy entities and charities, should help maximise preparation for reuse by, for instance, encouraging the separation of WEEE that is to be prepared for reuse from other separately collected WEEE and by granting access to separately collected WEEE to personnel from reuse centres.

lena leasaítear Treoir 2012/19/AE maidir le dramhthrealamh leictreach agus leictreonach (DTLL)
amending Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
#2935937
In 2019, gineadh 16,2 kg per capita DTLL ar an meán san Eoraip agus in 2020, bailíodh ar leithligh thart ar 10.5 kg per capita DTLL san Aontas chun go ndéanfaí cóireáil chuí air i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 8 de Threoir 2012/19/AE ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle, agus go ndéanfaí athchúrsáil air.
In 2019, an average of 16,2 kg per capita of WEEE was generated in Europe while in the Union, in 2020 about 10,5 kg per capita of WEEE was separately collected to be properly treated in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and recycled.
#2935963
Le Treoir 2012/19/AE, cuirtear d’oibleagáid ar na Ballstáit a áirithiú go n-íoslaghdófar diúscairt DTLL mar dhramhaíl chathrach nár sórtáladh, go mbainfear amach ardleibhéal bailithe ar leithligh, agus go n-áiritheofar go ndéanfar cóireáil chuí ar gach DTLL a bhailítear ar leithligh.
Directive 2012/19/EU obliges Member States to ensure that the disposal of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste is minimised, a high level of separate collection is reached, and the proper treatment of all separately collected WEEE is ensured.

3 Mar gheall ar Threoir an Aontais Eorpaigh maidir le Dramhthrealamh Leictreach agus Leictreonach (DTLL), lena rialaítear dramhthrealamh a bhailiú, a chóireáil, a aisghabháil agus a dhiúscairt ar bhealach atá fónta ó thaobh an chomhshaoil de, tá ceisteanna tagtha chun cinn maidir le cathain ba cheart an dliteanas a aithint i leith díchoimisiúnú DTLL.
3 The European Union's Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WE&EE), which regulates the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of waste equipment, has given rise to questions about when the liability for the decommissioning of WE&EE should be recognised.
#3031731
Maidir le dramhaíl ó threalamh leictreach agus leictreonach (DTLL), comhlíonann an tsaoráid na ceanglais maidir le cóireáil chuí a leagtar amach in Airteagal 8 de Threoir 2012/19/AE, go háirithe na ceanglais maidir le cóireáil roghnaíoch d’ábhair agus do chomhpháirteanna DTLL a leagtar amach in Iarscríbhinn VII a ghabhann le Treoir 2012/19/AE agus maidir le hoibríochtaí stórála agus cóireála a leagtar amach in Iarscríbhinn VIII a ghabhann le Treoir 2012/19/AE.
For waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the facility complies with the requirements for proper treatment set out in Article 8 of Directive 2012/19/EU, in particular with the requirements for selective treatment for materials and components of WEEE set out in Annex VII to Directive 2012/19/EU and for storage and treatment operations set out in Annex VIII to Directive 2012/19/EU.
#3031734
Maidir le cóireáil DTLL ina bhfuil fluaracarbóin sho-ghalaithe (VFCanna) agus hidreacarbóin sho-ghalaithe (VHCanna) agus cóireáil DTLL ina bhfuil mearcair, tá astaíochtaí laistigh de nó níos ísle ná na leibhéil astaíochtaí a bhaineann leis na raonta maidir leis na teicnící is fearr atá ar fáil (BAT-AEL) mar a leagtar amach sna conclúidí maidir leis na teicnící is fearr atá ar fáil (BAT) le haghaidh cóireáil dramhaíola.
For the treatment of WEEE containing volatile fluorocarbons (VFCs) and volatile hydrocarbons (VHCs) and WEEE containing mercury, emissions are within or lower than the emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AEL) ranges as set out in the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions for waste treatment.
#3187498
Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go soláthróidh táirgeoirí an maoiniú, ar a laghad, do bhailiú, cóireáil, aisghabháil agus diúscairt DTLL ó theaghlaigh phríobháideacha ar bhealach atá fónta ó thaobh an chomhshaoil de, ar DTLL é arna thaisceadh i saoráidí bailithe arna mbunú faoi Airteagal 5(2) mar a leanas:
Member States shall ensure that producers provide at least for the financing of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE from private households that has been deposited at collection facilities set up under Article 5(2) as follows:

#2935966
Leagtar síos i dTreoir 2012/19/AE freisin oibleagáidí sonracha aisghlactha chun bailiú ar leithligh DTLL a áirithiú.
Directive 2012/19/EU also lays down specific take-back obligations to ensure the separate collection of WEEE.
#2935967
Tá sé d’oibleagáid ar na Ballstáit a áirithiú go gcuirfear córais ar bun lena ndéantar foráil maidir le DTLL teaghlaigh a thabhairt ar ais saor in aisce.
Member States are obliged to ensure that systems are set up that provide for the return of household WEEE free of charge.
#2935968
Glacfaidh dáileoirí le tabhairt ar ais DTLL nuair a dhíolann siad trealamh leictreach agus leictreonach den chineál céanna.
Distributors are to accept the return of WEEE when selling similar electrical and electronic equipment.
#2936004
Ar na samplaí de chaighdeáin tá caighdeán Eorpach EN50614 maidir le ceanglais i dtaca le hullmhú le haghaidh athúsáid DTLL agus an caighdeán ‘Réidh le hAthúsáid (R2)’.
Examples of standards include but are not limited to the European standard EN50614 on requirements for the preparing for reuse of WEEE and the ‘R2/Ready for Reuse’ standard.
#3031610
Tá na ranníocaíochtaí airgeadais leis na scéimeanna comhchoiteanna bunaithe ar éiceamhodhnú agus clúdaíonn siad na costais a bhaineann le bailiú agus láimhseáil ar leithligh DTLL.
The financial contributions to the collective schemes are based on eco modulation and cover the costs of separate collection and treatment of WEEE.
#3031672
le bailiú agus iompar, caomhnaítear sláine DTLL agus coisctear sceitheadh substaintí guaiseacha, amhail substaintí ídithe ózóin, gáis ceaptha teasa fhluairínithe nó mearcair atá i lampaí fluaraiseacha.
collection and transport preserve the integrity of WEEE and prevent the leakage of hazardous substances, such as ozone-depleting substances, fluorinated greenhouse gases or mercury contained in fluorescent lamps.

Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) (OJ L 197, 24.7.2012, p. 38).
#2935936
Tá dramhthrealamh leictreach agus leictreonach (‘DTLL’) ar cheann de na sruthanna dramhaíola is mó fás san Aontas, le méadú 2 % ag teacht air in aghaidh na bliana faoi láthair, rud a fhágann go bhfuil riosca tromchúiseach ann do shláinte an duine agus don chomhshaol araon, mura ndéantar cóireáil chuí air.
Waste electrical and electronic equipment (‘WEEE’) is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the Union, currently growing by 2 % per year, resulting in severe risk for both human health and the environment, if not properly treated.
#2935938
Maidir leis an DTLL sin a bailíodh ar leithligh, is iontach íseal an sciar de ríomhtháirgí beaga tomhaltais, amhail fóin phóca, táibléad, ríomhairí glúine agus na luchtairí a ghabhann leo, a bhailítear ar leithligh.
Of this separately collected WEEE, the share of small consumer electronics, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops and their chargers, separately collected is especially low.
#2935944
Ina theannta sin, is féidir borradh a chur faoi phoist ghlasa sa gheilleagar ciorclach trí threalamh leictreach agus leictreonach a dheisiú agus a athúsáid, chomh maith le hullmhú le haghaidh athúsáide agus athchúrsála DTLL.
Furthermore, the repair and reuse of electrical and electronic equipment as well as the preparation for reuse and recycling of WEEE can boost green jobs in the circular economy.
#2935955
Tugtar mionsonraí breise air sin sa Teachtaireacht ón gCoimisiún in 2020 maidir le Plean Gníomhaíochta don Gheilleagar Ciorclach, ina n-iarrtar feabhas a chur ar bhailiú agus ar chóireáil DTLL, lena n-áirítear é sin a dhéanamh trí fhéachaint ar roghanna le haghaidh scéimeanna aisghlactha chun fóin phóca, táibléid agus luchtairí úsáidte agus dramhaíola a thabhairt ar ais.
This is further detailed in the Commission Communication of 2020 on a Circular Economy Action Plan, which calls for improving the collection and treatment of WEEE including by exploring options for take-back schemes to return used and waste mobile phones, tablets and chargers.
#2935956
Ina theannta sin, sa Teachtaireacht ón gCoimisiún in 2021 maidir leis an bPlean Gníomhaíochta um uisce, aer agus ithir saor ó thruailliú , iarrtar go ndéanfar dramhaíl a chosc agus athchúrsáil ar ardcháilíocht lena dtacaítear le spriocanna an Aontais maidir le héifeachtúlacht acmhainní, agus lena n-aithnítear DTLL i measc na sruthanna dramhaíola is mó fás an tráth céanna.
In addition, the Communication from the Commission of 2021 regarding the Zero Pollution Action Plan calls for waste prevention and high quality of recycling supporting the Union’s goals for resource efficiency while it also recognises WEEE among the fastest growing waste streams.
#2935964
Leis an Treoir sin, socraítear sprioc bhliantúil bailithe DTLL de 65 %, a bheidh infheidhme ó 2019 ar aghaidh, bunaithe ar mheánmheáchan an trealaimh leictrigh agus leictreonaigh a chuirtear ar an margadh sna 3 bliana roimhe sin i ngach Ballstát, nó de rogha air sin sprioc 85 % den trealamh leictreach agus leictreonach a ghintear go bliantúil ar chríoch gach Ballstáit.
That Directive sets an annual WEEE collection target of 65 %, applicable as of 2019, based on the average weight of electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market in the 3 preceding years in each Member State, or alternatively a target of 85 % of WEEE generated annually on the territory of each Member State.
#2935969
Ní mór do dháileoirí foráil a dhéanamh freisin maidir le bailiú DTLL an-bheag ó úsáideoirí deiridh i siopaí miondíola de mhéid áirithe, saor in aisce, gan aon oibleagáid ar an úsáideoir deiridh trealamh leictreach agus leictreonach de chineál coibhéiseach a cheannach, ach amháin má léirítear i measúnú gur dócha go mbeidh scéimeanna malartacha bailithe atá ann cheana chomh héifeachtach céanna ar a laghad.
Distributors are also to provide for the collection at retail shops of a certain size of very small WEEE from end-users, free of charge, with no obligation on the end-user to buy electrical and electronic equipment of an equivalent type, unless an assessment shows that alternative existing collection schemes are likely to be at least as effective.

Cé go bhfuil roinnt dul chun cinn déanta ó glacadh an chéad Treoir maidir le DTLL, glacadh Treoir 2002/96/CE ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle in 2003, agus níos mó fós ó glacadh Treoir 2012/19/AE, is íseal fós na rátaí ullmhaithe le haghaidh athúsáide, bailithe agus aisghabhála dramhaíola ó ríomhtháirgí beaga tomhaltais sna Ballstáit.
While some progress has been made since the first Directive dealing with WEEE, Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council was adopted in 2003, and even more so since the adoption of Directive 2012/19/EU, the rates of preparation for reuse, collection and recovery of waste from small consumer electronics remain low in Member States.
