[DescrShort]
In Ireland, the Producer Responsibility Initiative (PRI) for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is underpinned by the European Union (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014 (S.I. No. 149 of 2014) – the WEEE regulations.
B2B producers can only self-comply with the regulations. The EPA is directly responsible for enforcement of B2B producer obligations.
The EPA intends to appoint a contractor to provide support services to the EPA for enforcement of the WEEE regulations as they apply to B2B producers including assessment of submissions, audit campaigns and provision of compliance guidance and assistance to the producers.

[DescrProcurement]
In Ireland, the Producer Responsibility Initiative (PRI) for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is underpinned by the European Union (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014 (S.I. No. 149 of 2014) – the WEEE regulations. The Producer Responsibility team in the EPA’s Office of Environmental Enforcement (OEE) is responsible for the enforcement of many aspects of these regulations.
To achieve compliance with their remaining legal obligations under the WEEE regulations, B2C producers can join one of the two national compliance schemes. Currently B2B producers can only self-comply with the regulations.
The EPA is directly responsible for enforcement of B2B producer obligations. Self-complying B2B producers must submit WEEE Waste Management Plans and Reports to the EPA. A plan is required every three years while a report is required annually.
After submission, the plans and reports are assessed for adequacy and accuracy before they can be approved by the EPA. The verified data is then forwarded for inclusion in reports as outlined above. An annual audit campaign of a selected number (approx. 60) B2B producers is also carried out. These audits are a very useful way of verifying the adequacy of submissions but are also used to check compliance generally in the sector.
Assessing plans and reports and the implementation of the annual audit campaign goes on throughout the year and requires continual communication and dialogue with stakeholders as well as with statutory bodies such the Producer Register Ltd., the compliance schemes and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, where required.
