| | Wired News: EU Law May Bring Out Dead Mobiles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | After a debate between EU agencies, responsibility will likely fall on equipment makers to take care of their own products -- a system which, for example, Nokia and Sweden's Electrolux have promoted, European parliament member Heidi Hautala said. |
 | | While the new EU-wide regulation will likely oblige individual firms to see that their own new products are recycled, the industry would be collectively responsible for phones sold before the legislation enters into force, Hautala said. |
 | | It would be up to individual member states to set up phone recycling systems and ensure that people actually bring their phones back to stores or other places to be recycled. |
