Comments/Questions (received as of March 17, 2004)

• Article 4 of the EU Directive 2002/95/EC RoHS of Jan. 27 2003 includes an exclusion for CRTs. Does CIWMB or DTSC anticipate any covered electronic devices in the EWRA to be banned by the EU's Directive way? Could you clarify this, should Californians anticipate any CRT bans by the EU Directive or are the devices excluded? Is it CIWMB's and DTSC's interpretation that laptops, or flat screen TVs (if determined to be hazardous waste) are not excluded by the EU Directive 2002/95/EC RoHS of Jan. 27 2003 and may be banned from sale in California if banned in the EU. ?
