What information is needed for WEEE Blackbox submission and what is its purpose?

All EEE producers must submit the following details:

• Historical data: this consists of all EEE placed on the Irish market in the calendar year 2004 and is a once off requirement;
• Monthly Turnover: input of any EEE placed on the Irish market thereafter. The data required is exact quantity and weight of EEE products, per category and subcategory brought on to the State Market

The latter will be submitted on a monthly basis, beginning in September, to collect the period August 13^th 2005 up to and including August 31^st 2005, and each calendar month thereafter.

Information is submitted through a specifically designed website managed by the WEEE Blackbox. Webaddress: https://www.weeeblackbox.ie. All producers will on completing the registration process receive a username and password by email and/or post to access a personal data input form. All monthly data must be submitted before or on the 19^th of each month. A highly secure approach to computer and network security is employed.

The purpose of the data input is to determine the financial liability by market share of individual Producers.

The Historical data is being collected in order to calculate market share of individual producers for EEE placed on the market before 13^th August 2005. The financing system to be applied on 13^th August for the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound management of WEEE  will be based on this calculation.
