Batteries and Accumulators in France Regulations Organisation Market Collection Treatment European Outlook Data Comparison 2014 Batteries and Accumulators in France COLLECTION REPÈRES RETOUR SOMMAIRE The present synthesis report presents the market for Batteries and Accumulators in France in 2014 based on the data gathered through the ADEME’s Register of Batteries and Accumulators, which is completed by data from sector stakeholders. In 2001, the French Environmental Agency, known as ADEME, created the Observatory of batteries and accumulators (B&A) in order to keep track with the batteries and accumulators market. Following the transposition of European Directive 2006/66/EC on batteries and accumulators into French law on 22 September 2009, the National Register of Battery and Accumulator producers was created in 2010. Since January 2014, a unique website called SYDEREP (SYstème DEclaratif des filières REP) compiles all the Registers and Observatories for the WEEE*, Batteries and Accumulators, Furniture, fluorinated gases, tires and ELV* sectors (www.syderep.ademe.fr). This Register aims to record the French producers and to consolidate the B&A producers and recycling companies annual reporting: the regulation requires that all B&A producers and recycling companies report annually through the Register on the quantities of batteries and accumulators they put on the market, collect and treat. Based on analysis of the data, ADEME issues an annual report allowing both the follow-up of the batteries and accumulators market in France and communication regarding the achievement of the collection and recovery objectives set by EU regulation.The present summary is based on the 2014 report. Updated data are posted annualy at www.ademe.fr/mediatheque * WEEE: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment * ELV: End-of-life Vehicles 2 Batteries and Accumulators in France - 2014 Data - Summary RETOUR SOMMAIRE Regulations In 2009 the EU-Directive 2006/66/CE was In 2015, the provisions of Directive By-law of 6 August, 2015, repealing transposed into French law with Decree 2013/56/EU of 20 November, 2013, the revised By-law of November 18th, 2009-1139 issued on September 22nd, amending Directive 2006/66/EC were 2009: cases and conditions under which 2009: This decree, codified in the articles transposed into French law through the the obligations regarding cadmium R.543-124 to R.543-134 of the French adoption of three regulatory texts: level in portable B&A do not apply, environmental code, was completed by Decree 2015-849 of 10 July, 2015 By-law of 6 August, 2015, amending Decree 2011-828 of 11 July, 2011, Decree (bringing the provisions of the French the By-law of 18 November, 2009, on 2012-617 of 2 May, 2012, and Decree Environmental Code relating to B&A the National Register: declaration by 2015-849 of 10 July, 2015. waste management into line with the approved Producer Responsibility The Directive 2006/66/EC sets out the EU law and possibly accrediting a Organisations of the quantities placed European regulation guiding EU Member coordinating body in case several on the market on behalf of its member States on the organisation of B&A wastes Producer Responsibility Organisations producers, the annual declaration being collection and treatment. are accredited), due no later than 31 March.

    An Analysis of Policy References made by large EU Companies to Internationally Recognised CSR Guidelines and Principles March 2013 This study was prepared by Caroline Schimanski for the European Commission (Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry). The content of this report does not necessarily represent the official view of the European Commission. For any enquiries please contact the CSR team of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry [email protected] 1. Introduction In October 2011, the European Commission adopted a new strategy on corporate social responsibility (CSR).1 The strategy places a strong emphasis on a core set of internationally recognised CSR guidelines and principles. It highlights in particular the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact; the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises; the ISO 26000 guidance standard on social responsibility; the ILO Tri-partite Declaration of Principles Concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy; and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The European Commission refers to these instruments as “an evolving and recently strengthened global framework for CSR.” As part of its strategy, the European Commission invites large enterprises to make a commitment to take account of these instruments when developing their own policies on CSR, and announces an intention to monitor such commitments for enterprises with more than 1.000 employees. This paper is part of that monitoring exercise. The aim is to present statistics on the extent to which 200 randomly selected large companies (over 1.000 employees) from 10 different EU Member States make publicly available policy references to certain internationally recognised CSR guidelines and principles.

  • What Role for Cars in Tomorrow's World?
    What role for cars in tomorrow’s world? REPORT JUNE 2017 The Institut Montaigne is an independent think tank founded in 2000 by Claude Bébéar and directed by Laurent Bigorgne. It has no partisan ties and its highly diversified funding is from private sources only; no single contribution accounts for more than 2% of the annual budget. It brings together business leaders, senior civil servants, academics and representatives of civil society from different backgrounds and with diverse experiences. Institut Montaigne’s work focuses on four areas of research: Social cohesion (primary and secondary education, youth and older people’s employment, corporate governance, equal opportunity, social mobility, housing) Modernising public action (pension system, legal system, healthcare system) Economic competitiveness (entrepreneurship, energy & climate change, emerging states, corporate financing, intellectual property, transportation) Public finance (Tax system, social protection) Thanks to both its associated experts and its study groups, the Institut Montaigne produces practical long-term proposals on the substantial challenges that our contemporary societies are facing. It therefore helps shaping the evolutions of social consciousness. Its recommendations are based on a rigorous and critical method of analysis. These recommendations are then actively promoted to decision- making governmental officials. Throughout its publications, lectures and conferences, the Institut Montaigne aims to be a key contributor to the democratic debate. The Institut Montaigne ensures the scientific validity, accuracy and the quality of the work that it produces, yet the opinions portrayed by the authors are those of their own and not neces- sarily the Institut’s. The authorial opinions are therefore not to be attributed to the Institut nor to its governing bodies.
