"According to the WEEE Directive, the EU member states are obliged to collect data on waste electrical and electronic equipment and to transmit this data to the European Commission."

WTF, Europe? Why would you require this extra effort just to invade people's #privacy?

i think it's just for e-waste statistics

My company makes and imports electronics into the EU. We have to report and pay fees on what we produce and import because of e-waste.

That makes so much more sense! After re-reading the quote, I think you are right.

It's ambiguous, but after finding some English descriptions about the data dormat for WEEE, that's the only interpretation that makes sense.
