In 2015, Republic of Slovenia implemented, with a delay, Directive 2012/19 / EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Task Force at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana examined the implementation of legislation in dealing with WEEE in Slovenia through the prism of the operation of the company ZEOS, l.l.c. The Task Force also prepared amendments to regulations that were presented at the public consultation and submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning in the context of a public hearing. Amendments to national legislation have been prepared on the basis of a comparative analysis of selected European countries (France, Germany, Malta, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom), which are examples of good practice of WEEE management, taking into account the situation in Slovenia. The new regulation brought some innovations and changes that should improve the management of WEEE, in particular, I established Slovenia's obligations under EU law. Extended producer responsibility imposes on producers of electrical and electronic equipment the responsibility for the handling of products at their end of their lifetime or after being discarded by consumers. Member States are required to establish a legal framework that provides extended producer responsibility and the management of WEEE, and manufacturers must establish a system for the collection and recovery of WEEE.
