Yes, we Europeans are creating far too much weee. I blame the Belgians! The Eu Commission, [under their leader, Ivor E. Towers], now places the onus on Member States to pass legislation based on 1500 pages of unreadable gobbledegook, to reduce the amount of weee. Thus, in one stroke, closing any viable electrical manufacturing facilities that have survived the torrents of previous crack-pot ideas. Weee must be reduced by at least 25%, and the reduced weee that is produced must be disposed of by recyling, composting, or gently burning in giant incinerators sited next to the banana-straightening factories. Private households are not required to reprocess their weee of course, ( Right to Weee Directive), and Non-member States will not have to control their weee either, so the US, China and NZ can weee where they like. Good news for the French. Since nothing applies to them, they can continue to weee in the streets as usual. Any stray transformers, refrigerator doors, washing machine motors etc. will thus still be available for use as ammo to throw at gendarmes in the bi-weekly strikes.
