Sign up at Bitkom Akademie: Copyright levies in other countries – a look outside the box

These live online webinar series will be held in English. Participation is free. However, the number of participants in each webinar will be limited.

Partially extreme high levies are claimed in most EU-Countries from manufacturers, importers and retailers for every computer, tablet, printer, hard disk, memory card and smartphone sold. The list of levied products is growing steadily. Obligations of manufacturers, importers and retailers are quite complex and different across countries. However, international companies have to be aware of their liabilities wherever they do business. They have to meet formal obligations, consider correct amount of levies within their pricing and adjust their marketing. Cross-border trade makes one thing compulsory: Information, preferably independently checked, comprehensive, up-to-date and reliable.

The live online webinar from BITKOM and 1cc is meant to discuss the following topics for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom:
• Legal requirements for liability
• Process to determine levies
• Concerned products, amount of levies, development of tariffs
• Liability for direct cross-border trade (distance selling)
• Current developments

1cc Webinar: PV Modules – 2 Years under WEEE – 1 Month under the ElektroG

The EU Member States had to transpose the revised WEEE Directive by February 14, 2014. As it happens so often, not all Member States did that in time. Now, 2 years later, all Member States have implemented the new requirements. Among them is the inclusion of photovoltaic modules into the producer collection and recycling obligations under WEEE. We want to take the opportunity and take a look at how Member States implemented this requirement with a focus on Germany and a few other bigger markets.

This webinar will be presented by Arne Campen, Senior Consultant at 1cc GmbH.
