I. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS I.1. GENERAL INFORMATION I.1.1. What is an authorised representative? Directive 2012/19/EU and its transposition into French law (Decree 2014-928) established the authorised representative, a producer established in another EU Member State may designate by written mandate a natural or legal person established in France as the appointed person for ensuring compliance with the obligations under the regulations for waste of electrical and electronic equipment (unofficial translation). Warning Not to be confused with actor category appointed person already existing in the Register. The appointed person is a person or company that has obtained a mandate to represent an appointing producer in a legal act (in this case, the obligation to report to the WEEE Register). It is an intermediary only on the administrative aspects of the declaration (recording of the types of equipment for which the appointing person must make declarations, carry out the reports annually). The appointed person differs from the authorised representative who has more obligations (financial, organisational in addition to administrative aspects). This includes joining a PRO or setting up an individual scheme on behalf of the producer. The authorised representative bears responsibility for the management of the WEEE of the producer it represents. I.1.2. Who can serve as authorised representative? The authorised representative must satisfy the conditions set in the Order of October 8, 2014. The authorised representative must be an entity based in France. No list or set of criteria have been laid down regarding which structure can take on the role of the authorised representative. However, the authorised representative appointed by the producer must be able to satisfy the producer s obligations: administrative, financial, logistical, etc. The authorised representative may be a subsidiary of the company, a company offering its services as authorised representative, a PRO (which will perform its services as authorised representative separately from its activities as a PRO), etc. The contract between an authorised representative and a producer established in another EU Member State must cover all electrical and electronic equipment put on the French market by economic operators as part of direct business relationship with the producer or through distance selling by the producer directly to households or users other than private households (Order of October 8, 2014, on authorised representative, Article 1). A producer can only have one authorised representative in France. Warning: In cases where PRO serve as authorised representative In cases where a PRO is appointed as authorised representative, it will be responsible for ensuring compliance with all of the producer s obligations. A PRO can take on this function if such activity is separated from its main activities as PRO and must therefore, as an authorised representative, adhere to its own PRO. In case the producer puts equipment on the market, including some equipment which does not fall within the categories for which the PRO is accredited, the PRO must adhere to its own PRO for the categories for which it is accredited and join another PRO for the other categories that are not covered by its accreditation.

I.1.3. Which companies are already registered as authorised representatives on SYDEREP? On the SYDEREP homepage, it s possible to do a public actors research (in the bottom left corner of the homepage). You can click on and then on the EEE tab on the left. Then select authorised representative in the Type of reporter drop-down menu. Finally click on Search to display the list of authorised representatives registered on SYDEREP. I.2. WHAT ARE THE OBLIGATIONS OF EUROPEAN PRODUCERS? WHO HAS TO APPOINT AN AUTHORISED REPRESENTATIVE IN FRANCE? WEEE Register Explanatory note regarding authorised representative 4/22

I.2.1. Scenario 1: Foreign producers putting equipment on the French market through distance selling Important: what is distance selling? Distance selling is a sales contract in which a means of distance communication is used. The definition of a means of distance communication pursuant to Directive 97/7/EC is as follows any means which, without the simultaneous physical presence of the supplier and the consumer, may be used for the conclusion of a contract between those parties. This covers purchases made on the Internet, over the phone, by standard letter, press advertising with order form, catalogue, etc. Purchases using a smartphone application are also considered distance selling. However, contactless mobile payments made in stores with the simultaneous physical presence of the supplier and the consumer are not considered as distance selling. Distance sellers established in a given EU Member State and putting equipment on the market of another EU country have different obligations regarding the appointment of an authorised representative. They have the obligation (rather than the possibility) to appoint an authorised representative in the country where they sell EEE, as stated in Article 17 of Directive 2012/19/EU: each Member State shall ensure that a producer as defined in Article 3(1)(f)(iv) and established on its territory, which sells EEE to another Member State in which it is not established, appoints an authorised representative in that Member State as the person responsible for fulfilling the obligations of that producer, pursuant to this Directive, on the territory of that Member State. Producers established in an EU country other than France and putting EEE on the French market through distance selling have the obligation to appoint an authorised representative in France. This obligation is enshrined in the regulations of the Member State where the producer is established. Warning This rule applies to companies based in France and selling EEE in other EU Member States: they must appoint an authorised representative in such states to ensure the compliance with the producer s obligations. A producer established in France selling electrical and electronic equipment by means of distance communication directly to households or to users other than households in another EU Member State appoints by written mandate a natural or legal person established in that State to be responsible for ensuring compliance with the producer s obligations under the regulations for electrical and electronic equipment applicable in that State. (unofficial translation, Art. R. 543-175 of the French Environmental Code, added by Decree 2014-928). The following decision flow chart specifies who has the obligation to appoint an authorised representative, depending on the country of the producer. WEEE Register Explanatory note regarding authorised representative 5/22

I.2.2. Scenario 2: Foreign producers putting equipment on the French market through distributors Producers established in a foreign country (in or outside the EU) putting EEE on the French market through distributors have no obligation to declare to the French WEEE Register. If their equipment is introduced or imported into France by French companies (distributors), the distributors are considered to be the producers, and in their quality of introducers or importers they shall themselves make such declarations. However, producers (excluding distance sellers, see cases specified in I.2.1) established in another Member State and exporting into France have the possibility (not the obligation) to appoint an authorised representative. Therefore it may choose to register instead of its French distributors and bears the obligations pertaining to EEE producers. For the record, the contract between an authorised representative and a producer established in another EU Member State must cover all electrical and electronic equipment put on the French market by economic operators as part of direct business relationship with the producer or through distance selling by the producer directly to households or users other than private households (Order of October 8, 2014, on authorised representative, Article 1). In such cases, the authorised representative appointed by the producer is therefore responsible for the management of the EEE put on the market by all EEE distributors. The regulation has not provided the possibility for a foreign producer (outside the EU) to appoint an authorised representative to satisfy the obligations of the distributors to whom it sells EEE in France. In such cases, the distributors are therefore considered to be the producers according to the regulation and must register on the French WEEE Register and declare the EEE put on the French market. Note: this does not cover the EEE sold under the brand name of a French distributor. The authorised representative can only be responsible for satisfying the obligations of introducers. I.2.3. Scenario 3: Foreign producers putting equipment on the French market both through distributors and distance selling Producers selling equipment through distributors and distance selling are required to appoint an authorised representative (Article 17 of Directive 2012/19/EU) covering all of such EEE (Order of October 8, 2014 regarding authorised representatives, Article 1). It is therefore not possible to appoint an authorised representative to manage equipment sold through distance selling only. The distributors in question are not required to make a declaration to the SYDEREP regarding such equipment. I.2.4. Scenario 4: Foreign producers selling directly to professional users in France (excluding distance selling) In rare cases, a purchase can be concluded between a foreign producer and a French professional user, without using a means of distance communication or an intermediary distributor. To be considered as falling in this category, the foreign company must be indicated on the client s invoice. Example of sales concluded between a foreign producer and professional users without means of distance selling: - Act of purchasing concluded in France with a representative of a company based in another Member State, invoiced by a foreign entity (e.g. during a trade show or fair). - Act of purchasing concluded with a company based in France, but invoiced by a foreign entity (e.g. parent company). Regarding the definition of authorised representative, it is the same as in the case of a distributor: producers established in a foreign country (in or outside the EU) selling EEE on the French market through direct sales to users have no obligation to make a declaration to the French Register. If their equipment is imported into France by French companies (users), these users are considered to be the producers, and in their quality of importers they shall themselves make such declarations. Producers (excluding distance sellers, see cases specified in I.2.1) established in another Member State and exporting into France have the possibility (not the obligation) to appoint an authorised representative. Therefore they may choose to register instead of their French user companies and bears the obligations pertaining to EEE producers. I.2.5. Documents to be provided Any producer appointing an authorised representative must establish a contract.
