This makes it very difficult to contact the person responsible and to strengthen and extend the responsibilities and obligations of the producers. Some voices say that the United States should force its online marketers to take more jobs and obligations for producers and products that sell on behalf of companies not registered with WEEE.
This is the main conclusion drawn from a workshop organized by the WEEE and EucoLight chat forums, two European exchange associations that speak for the responsibilities of producers of various e-waste organizations. Recently, more than 80 delegates from twelve different countries had a meeting to discuss ways to avoid the growth number of various online marketers and the failure of compliance of WEEE.

Now more and more companies fail in register with WEEE, which are referred to as a Freeriding. And this problem is getting bigger. Initial encounters by the OECD suggest that online freeriding accounts for 5 to 10 percent of sales.
The workshop led to certain wishes aimed at the European policy of creators and members. For example, online sellers should legally take "producer" responsibilities for the products they sell on behalf of a company. company not associated with WEEE. also large amounts of freeriding it is putting many associated companies in a very difficult place as they are taking a lot of sales and entering a boom.
