Position paper - Feedback to the RoHS review roadmap

The American Chamber of Commerce to the EU (AmCham EU) welcomes the Commission’s initiative to evaluate the performance of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. Our members have been implementing the directive since its inception in 2003, this has given them the practical experience in effectively evaluating which aspects of the directive have worked well and where improvements are needed. RoHS has in many regards met its policy objectives, however parts of the law would benefit from a review, while others should remain untouched. The following feedback has been split into the areas of evaluation outlined in the roadmap.
